Abstract

A large caliber standard lens having a first lens of a positive refractive power; a second lens of a negative refractive power; a diaphragm; a third lens of a negative refractive power; a fourth lens of a positive refractive power; and a fifth lens of a positive refractive power, wherein the lenses are arranged sequentially from an object side to an image side, and the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens are meniscus lenses having concave surfaces facing the diaphragm and satisfy the following inequality, 0.6 ≤  R 6 R 4  ≤ 1.0 where R 4 represents the radius of curvature of the surface of the second lens facing the image, and R 6 represents the radius of curvature of the surface of the third lens facing the object.

Claims (68)

1. A fixed focal length lens system comprising:

a first lens of a positive refractive power;

a second lens of a negative refractive power;

an aperture diaphragm;

a third lens of a negative refractive power;

a fourth lens of a positive refractive power; and

a fifth lens of a positive refractive power;

wherein:

the first lens, the second lens, the diaphragm, the third lens, the fourth lens, and the fifth lens are arranged sequentially from an object side to an image side;

the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens are meniscus lenses having concave surfaces facing the diaphragm; and

the following inequalities are satisfied:

0.6

R

6

R

4

where R 4 denotes the radius of curvature of the surface of the second lens facing the image side, and R 6 is the radius of curvature of the surface of the third lens facing the object; and

1.1

R

7

R

8

<

3.5

where R 7 represents the radius of curvature of the surface of the third lens facing the image side, and R 8 represents the radius of curvature of the surface of the fourth lens facing the object side;

wherein when refractive indexes of the third lens, the fourth lens, and the fifth lens are n3, n4, n5, respectively, the following inequality is satisfied:

1.80<( n 3+ n 4 +n 5)/3.

2. A fixed focal length lens system comprising:

a first lens of a positive refractive power;

a second lens of a negative refractive power;

an aperture diaphragm;

a third lens of a negative refractive power;

a fourth lens of a positive refractive power; and

a fifth lens of a positive refractive power;

wherein:

the first lens, the second lens, the diaphragm, the third lens, the fourth lens, and the fifth lens are arranged sequentially with no intervening lens elements from an object side to an image side;

the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens are meniscus lenses having concave surfaces facing the diaphragm; and

the following inequalities are satisfied:

0.6

R

6

R

4

1.0

where R 4 denotes the radius of curvature of the surface of the second lens facing the image side, and R 6 is the radius of curvature of the surface of the third lens facing the object; and

1.1

R

7

R

8

<

3.5

where R 7 represents the radius of curvature of the surface of the third lens facing the image side, and R 8 represents the radius of curvature of the surface of the fourth lens facing the object side,

wherein the average value of the refractive indexes of the lenses that are located between the diaphragm and the image side is greater than the average value of the refractive indexes of the lenses that are located between the diaphragm and the object side.

3. The fixed focal length lens system of claim 2 , wherein gaps exist between each of the first through fifth lenses.

4. The fixed focal length lens system of claim 2 , wherein each of the refractive indexes of the lenses that are located between the diaphragm and the image side are greater than each of the refractive indexes of the lenses that are located between the diaphragm and the object side.

5. The fixed focal length lens system of claim 2 , wherein a gap between the third lens and the fourth lens is greater at the center portion of an optical axis than at the peripheral portion away from the optical axis.
