Abstract

Abstract A retrofocus wide angle objective with the backfocal length being at least two times the overall focal length, comprising in optical alignment, a plurality of negative meniscus lenses of forward convexities, a positive lens, a negative meniscus lens of forward convexity, a bi-convex lens, a negative lens, a positive doublet lens and a positive lens, and the first surface counting from the front being configured in a non-spherical form such that the curvature increases with distance from the optical axis. This non-spherical surface compensates for barrel distortion and negative coma which are introduced by the object-side negative meniscus lenses into the lens system.
