wherein the ring light is coupled via a light guide to at least one of an external light source and a beam splitter, for feeding light of a predetermined wavelength to the ring light.

2. The fundus camera objective as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the beam splitter has two inputs and at least one output, the at least one output being connectable to the ring light, wherein light from at least one of an external a light source and a flashlight are feedable to the inputs.

3. The fundus camera objective as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the beam splitter is connected to a beam shaper that has at one of its ends the cross section of a flashlight of the camera or of a separate flash tube, and at the opposite end a round cross section with an optics for focusing on a cross section of the beam splitter.

4. The fundus camera objective as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fundus camera objective can be coupled to a handle, the handle comprises batteries or rechargeable batteries for supplying energy to one of the camera, the flashlight and the light source for the ring light.

5. The fundus camera objective as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a removable handle has a release that can be coupled to the camera in order to trigger a recording.

6. The fundus camera objective as claimed claim 1 , further comprising a reversing optics for providing an erect image.

7. The fundus camera objective as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a setting device is provided for diopter compensation by displacing the objective and ocular relative to one another, it being possible to read out the compensated diopters on a scale on the outer tube.

8. The fundus camera objective as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a field diaphragm is arranged in the beam path of the fundus camera objective, the diameter of the field diaphragm being adjustable via a diaphragm setting ring or a field diaphragm having a fixed diaphragm is arranged in the beam path of the fundus camera objective.

9. The fundus camera objective as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the field diaphragm is an iris diaphragm.

10. The fundus camera objective as claimed in claim 1 , wherein filters are present in the tube.

11. The fundus camera objective as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an insertable excitation filter is arranged upstream of the ring light in order to allow passage of light of a predetermined wavelength, in particular blue light with a wavelength of approximately 480 nm, it being possible to insert in the beam path of the fundus camera objective a blocking filter that particularly allows passage of green light with a wavelength of approximately 510-530 nm.

12. The fundus camera objective as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the amount of light fed to the ring light can be set.

13. The fundus camera objective as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fundus camera objective connection unit has a thread or a bayonet lock.

14. A camera having a fundus camera objective for recording an eye fundus, comprising:

an objective,

an ocular,

a tube, the optical length of the tube can be adjusted in order to set the distance between the objective and ocular, wherein the fundus camera objective having a fundus camera objective connection unit on the camera side, and being connectable via the fundus camera objective connection unit to a camera,

wherein the fundus camera objective is connected in the front area to a ring light, and

wherein the ring light is coupled via a light guide to at least one of an external light source and a beam splitter, for feeding light of a predetermined wavelength to the ring light,

the camera having a camera connection unit corresponding to the fundus camera objective connection unit.

15. The camera as claimed in claim 14 having at least one of a display unit, a processor for image conditioning and a memory for storing the photographs.

16. The camera as claimed in claim 14 , wherein a handle is detachably fastened on the fundus camera, the handle having at least one of a release and batteries or rechargeable batteries, the batteries or rechargeable batteries supplying energy to at least one of the camera, the flashlight and the light source for the ring light, wherein the handle has a release that can be coupled to the camera in order to trigger a recording.

17. The camera as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the handle comprises a light source, whose light can be coupled into the beam splitter or can be fed directly to the ring light.

18. The camera as claimed in claim 14 , in which a beam shaper connected to the fundus camera objective can be connected to the flashlight of the camera.

19. A handle that can be connected to a camera as claimed in claim 14 , the handle having at least one of a release and batteries or rechargeable batteries, the batteries or rechargeable batteries supplying energy to at least one of the camera, the flashlight and the light source for the ring light, and the release being connectable to the camera in order to trigger a recording.
