Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
194 words
A wide angle photographic objective of large aperture ratio having long back focus consisting of, as observed from the direction in which light is projected, a first negative meniscus single lens (L1), a second negative meniscus single lens (L2), said first and second negative meniscus lenses being separated by an air space and having their convex surfaces toward an object, a third biconvex lens (L3) separated from said second lens by an air space, a fourth biconcave lens (L4) cemented to said third lens, the composite power of said third and fourth lenses being positive, a fifth biconcave lens component (L5) separated from said fourth lens by an air space, a sixth positive meniscus lens (L6) separated from said fifth lens component and having an outer surface which is concave toward the object, said fifth lens component being a doublet which includes a biconcave lens element cemented to a positive meniscus, a seventh positive single lens (L7) separated from said sixth lens by an air space, and an eighth positive single lens (L8) slightly separated from said seventh lens, the respective rear surfaces of said seventh and eighth lenses being concave toward the object.
