Abstract

A fixed-focus lens system includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens element having negative power, the first lens element having a convex surface opposite to an object, a second lens element having positive power, the second lens element having a concave surface opposite to the object, a third lens element having positive power, a fourth lens element having negative power, and a fifth lens element having positive power. A half angle of view of the fixed-focus lens system is 50 degrees or more, and a shape of the convex surface on the object side of the first lens element has at least one inflection point at a part except for the optical axis. With this configuration, a fixed-focus lens system capable of favorably correcting various aberrations can be provided.

Claims (62)

1. A fixed-focus lens system comprising, in order from an object side to an image side:

a first lens element having negative power, the first lens element having a convex surface on the object side;

a second lens element having positive power, the second lens element having a concave surface on the object side;

a third lens element having positive power;

a fourth lens element having negative power;

a fifth lens element having positive power, and

a sixth lens element having negative power, wherein

a half angle of view of the fixed-focus lens system is 50 degrees or more,

a shape of the convex surface on the object side of the first lens element has at least one inflection point at a part except for an optical axis, and

a condition (5) and a condition (6) shown below are simultaneously satisfied,

nL 1>1.6  (5)

vL 1>30  (6)

wherein,

nL 1 is a refraction factor of the first lens element at a d-line, and

vL 1 is an Abbe number of the first lens element.

2. The fixed-focus lens system according to claim 1 , wherein a condition (1) shown below is satisfied,

1.7<( L 1 R 1+ L 1 R 2)/( L 1 R 1− L 1 R 2)<5.0  (1)

wherein,

L 1 R1 is a radius of curvature of a surface on the object side of the first lens element, and

L 1 R2 is a radius of curvature of a surface on the image side of the first lens element.

3. The fixed-focus lens system according to claim 1 , wherein a condition (2) shown below is satisfied,

2.1< f 2/ f< 10.0  (2)

wherein,

f2 is a focal length of the second lens element at a d-line, and

f is a focal length of an entire system at the d-line.

4. The fixed-focus lens system according to claim 1 , wherein a condition (3) shown below is satisfied,

−5.0< f 4/ f<− 1.0  (3)

wherein,

f4 is a focal length of the fourth lens element at a d-line, and

f is a focal length of an entire system at the d-line.

5. The fixed-focus lens system according to claim 1 , wherein a condition (4) shown below is satisfied,

1.0< f 5/ f< 5.0  (4)

wherein,

f5 is a focal length of the fifth lens element at a d-line, and

f is a focal length of an entire system at the d-line.

6. The fixed-focus lens system according to claim 1 , wherein a condition (7) shown below is satisfied,

0.15< f/TTL< 0.30  (7)

wherein,
