Abstract

The present invention provides an anamorphic optical system 1 , comprising one aspheric surface lens G 5 and one anamorphic lens G 3 on object side, and one aspheric lens G 7 and one anamorphic lens G 8 on image side with a diaphragm S 11 therebetween, and an effective field angle is set to 200° or more at maximum in horizontal direction.

Claims (9)

1. An anamorphic optical system, wherein a first lens G 1 , a second lens G 2 , a third lens G 3 , a fourth lens G 4 , a fifth lens G 5 , a diaphragm s 11 , a sixth lens G 6 , a seventh lens G 7 , an eighth lens G 8 , and a ninth lens G 9 are arranged respectively from an object side,

wherein said first lens G 1 , said second lens G 2 , said third lens G 3 , said fourth lens G 4 , and said fifth lens G 5 have lens surfaces s 1 to s 10 respectively from said object side and said sixth lens G 6 , said seventh lens G 7 , said eighth lens G 8 , and said ninth lens G 9 have lens surfaces s 12 to s 19 respectively from said object side,

wherein said third lens G 3 , said fifth lens G 5 , said seventh lens G 7 and said eighth lens G 8 are comprised of plastic and said first lens G 1 , said second lens G 2 , said fourth lens G 4 , and said sixth lens G 6 are comprised of glass and said ninth lens G 9 is a glass plate, wherein said lens surface s 9 , said lens surface s 10 , said lens surface s 14 and said lens surface s 15 are aspheric surfaces, and said third lens G 3 and said eighth lens G 8 are anamorphic lenses,

and wherein a ratio of the focal distance in the vertical direction of said third lens G 3 to the focal distance in the vertical direction of said eighth lens G 8 is 1.05≦|fpnx/fppx|≦1.87, wherein the optical axis is the Z-axis and the X-axis and the Y-axis perpendicularly cross said Z-axis,

and wherein fpnx is defined as an X-Z section paraxial focal distance of said third lens G 3 , which is a negative lens comprised of plastic,

and fppx is defined as an X-Z section paraxial focal distance of said eighth lens G 8 , which is a positive lens comprised of plastic, and wherein a X-Z section paraxial focal distance represents the focal distance in the vertical direction.

2. An image pickup device comprising the anamorphic optical system of claim 1 .

3. An on-board type camera comprising the anamorphic optical system of claim 1 .

4. A monitoring camera comprising the anamorphic optical system of claim 1 .
