Abstract

Abstract A retrofocus type ultra-wide angle lens, having 13 air-spaced elements in four groups, which include, as viewed from the object side of the lens, a first group consisting of two divergent meniscus elements and a convergent meniscus element, a second group consisting of three divergent meniscus elements and a convergent cemented component, a third group consisting of a divergent meniscus element and a positive cemented component, and a fourth group consisting of a convergent element, a divergent element, a convergent meniscus element and a cemented component. A diaphragm is disposed immediately behind the third group.
