Abstract

The present disclosure provides an optical imaging lens assembly, along an optical axis from an object side to an image side, sequentially includes: a first lens having positive refractive power; an autofocus component; a second lens having a refractive power; a third lens having a refractive power; a fourth lens having a refractive power; and at least one subsequent lens having a refractive power. At least one surface from an object-side surface of the first lens to an image-side surface of the at least one subsequent lens is an aspheric surface; the first lens and the autofocus component are cemented together; and a radius of curvature of an image-side surface of the autofocus component is variable.
