Abstract

A reflective type telephoto lens and a photographing apparatus including the reflective type telephoto lens are provided. The reflective type telephoto lens includes: a first lens that receives an incident flux of light from an object side; a main mirror including a reflective unit that reflects light transmitted through the first lens toward the object side, and a transmission portion disposed on a center portion thereof; a sub-mirror group including a sub-mirror that reflects light from the main mirror toward an image side; and a focusing lens group that focuses the light reflected by the sub-mirror.

Claims (144)

where f before denotes a combined focal length of the first lens, the main mirror, and the sub-mirror group located in front of the focusing lens group, and f denotes an entire focal length of the reflective type telephoto lens.

2. The reflective type telephoto lens of claim 1 , wherein the reflective type telephoto lens satisfies following inequality

0.9

f

primary

f

secondary

1.5

,

where f primary denotes a focal length of the main mirror, and f secondary denotes a focal length of the sub-mirror group.

3. The reflective type telephoto lens of claim 1 , wherein the reflective type telephoto lens satisfies following inequality

0.1

f

AF

f

0.6

,

where f AF denotes a focal length of the focusing lens group, and f denotes the entire focal length of the reflective type telephoto lens.

4. The reflective type telephoto lens of claim 1 , wherein the focusing lens group comprises three or less lenses.

5. The reflective type telephoto lens of claim 1 , wherein the focusing lens group comprises at least one biconcave lens.

6. The reflective type telephoto lens of claim 1 , wherein the focusing lens group comprises a biconvex lens and a biconcave lens.

7. The reflective type telephoto lens of claim 1 , wherein the focusing lens group comprises a planoconvex lens and a biconcave lens.

8. The reflective type telephoto lens of claim 1 , wherein the focusing lens group comprises a biconvex lens, a biconcave lens, and a planoconvex lens.

9. The reflective type telephoto lens of claim 1 , wherein a stop is disposed between the sub-mirror and the focusing lens group.

10. The reflective type telephoto lens of claim 1 , wherein the sub-mirror group comprises a second lens next to the sub-mirror.

11. A reflective type telephoto lens comprising:

a first lens that receives an incident flux of light from an object side;

a main mirror comprising a reflective unit that reflects light transmitted through the first lens toward the object side, and a transmission portion disposed on a center portion thereof;

a sub-mirror group comprising a sub-mirror that reflects light from the main mirror toward an image side; and

a focusing lens group that focuses the light reflected by the sub-mirror,

wherein the focusing lens group is disposed on an optical axis between the main mirror and the sub-mirror, and wherein the reflective type telephoto lens satisfies the following inequality

0.4

f

before

f

0.8

,

where f before denotes a combined focal length of the first lens, the main mirror, and the sub-mirror group located in front of the focusing lens group, and f denotes an entire focal length of the reflective type telephoto lens.

12. The reflective type telephoto lens of claim 1 , wherein the reflective type telephoto lens has a half-viewing angle ranging from 2° to 3°.

13. The reflective type telephoto lens of claim 1 , wherein an entire length of the reflective type telephoto lens is not changed when the focusing lens group performs a focusing operation.

14. A reflective type telephoto lens comprising:

a first lens that receives an incident flux of light from an object side;

a main mirror comprising a reflective unit that reflects light transmitted through the first lens toward the object side, and a transmission portion disposed on a center portion thereof;

a sub-mirror group comprising a sub-mirror that reflects light from the main mirror toward an image side; and

a focusing lens group that focuses the light reflected by the sub-mirror,

wherein the first lens comprises an accommodation portion disposed on a center portion thereof, and the sub-mirror group is disposed in the accommodation portion, and

wherein the reflective type telephoto lens satisfies the following inequality

0.9

f

primary

f

secondary

1.5

,

where f primary denotes a focal length of the main mirror, and f secondary denotes a focal length of the sub-mirror group.

15. The reflective type telephoto lens of claim 14 , wherein the reflective type telephoto lens satisfies the following inequality

0.1

f

AF

f

0.6

,

where f AF denotes a focal length of the focusing lens group, and f denotes an entire focal length of the reflective type telephoto lens.

16. The reflective type telephoto lens of claim 14 , wherein the focusing lens group comprises three or less lenses.

17. The reflective type telephoto lens of claim 14 , wherein the focusing lens group comprises at least one biconcave lens.

18. The reflective type telephoto lens of claim 14 , wherein the focusing lens group comprises a biconvex lens and a biconcave lens.

19. The reflective type telephoto lens of claim 14 , wherein the focusing lens group comprises a planoconvex lens and a biconcave lens.

20. A photographing apparatus comprising:

a reflective type telephoto lens; and

an imaging device that receives light focused by the reflective type telephoto lens,

wherein the reflective type telephoto lens comprises:

a first lens that receives an incident flux of light from an object side;

a main mirror comprising a reflective unit that reflects light transmitted through the first lens toward the object side, and a transmission portion disposed on a center portion thereof;
