Abstract
Abstract Rear converter lens to be attached behind a master lens. The rear converter lens consists of six groups of lens component, wherein the first lens component is of negative refractive power; the second lens component, positive refractive power; the third lens component, negative refractive power; the fourth lens component, positive refractive power; the fifth lens component, negative refractive power; and the six lens component, positive refractive power.
