Abstract

Provided are an optical lens assembly and a method of forming an image. The optical lens assembly includes: a first lens having a convex object-side surface; a second lens having a convex object-side surface; at least one lens at an image side of the second lens; a first stop being a variable stop at an object side of the first lens; and a second stop at an image side of the first lens, wherein the second stop determines a minimum F number, and the first stop is variable to determine an F number greater than the minimum F number.
