Abstract

Aspects of the invention disclose an external and an add-on anamorphic lens, which comprises a focus group and an anamorphic group disposed in sequence from an object side to an image side along the optical axis. The focus group comprises a first lens and a second lens. The first lens and the second lens are spherical lenses. The anamorphic group includes a third lens, a fourth lens, and a fifth lens. These lenses are cylindrical lenses. The position of the first lens is adjustable and therefore solve the problem of requiring secondary focusing of the prior art.

Claims (18)

1. An external anamorphic lens comprising:

a focus group and an anamorphic group disposed in sequence from an object side to an image side along an optical axis;

wherein the focus group comprises a first lens and a second lens, wherein the first lens and the second lens comprise spherical lenses;

wherein the anamorphic group comprises a third lens, a fourth lens, and a fifth lens, wherein the third lens, the fourth lens, and the fifth lens comprise cylindrical lenses;

wherein a position of the first lens is adjustable along the optical axis; and

a magnification of the focus group and the anamorphic group comprise 1.25 times and is adapted to be used with another anamorphic lens with a magnification of 1.60 times.

2. The external anamorphic lens of claim 1 , further comprising a length of less than 70 mm.

3. The external anamorphic lens of claim 1 , further comprising an add-on matching filter comprising a characteristic of 82 mm.

4. The external anamorphic lens of claim 1 , wherein the fourth lens and the fifth lens are attached together.

5. An add-on anamorphic lens comprising:

a focus group and an anamorphic group disposed in sequence from an object side to an image side along an optical axis;

wherein the focus group comprises a first lens and a second lens, wherein the first lens and the second lens comprise spherical lenses;

wherein the anamorphic group comprises a third lens, a fourth lens, and a fifth lens, wherein the third lens, the fourth lens, and the fifth lens comprise cylindrical lenses;

wherein a position of the first lens is adjustable along the optical axis; and

an add-on matching filter comprising a characteristic of 82 mm.

6. The add-on anamorphic lens of claim 5 , further comprising of 1.25 times and is adapted to be used with another anamorphic lens with a magnification of 1.60 times.

7. The add-on anamorphic lens of claim 5 , further comprising a length of less than 70 mm.

8. The add-on anamorphic lens of claim 5 , wherein the fourth lens and the fifth lens are attached together.
