Abstract

Abstract A rear conversion lens system to be mounted on the image side of a photographic lens to enlarge the total focal length of the entire lens system including the photographic lens comprises a diverging group and a converging group disposed on the image side of the diverging group. The diverging group includes, as viewed in order from the object side, a first positive lens component, a negative lens component and a second positive lens component. The converging group includes, as viewed in order from the object side, a positive lens component and a negative lens component.

A rear conversion lens system for mounting on the image side of a photographic lens to make the composite focal length of the rear conversion lens and the photographic lens greater than the focal length of the photographic lens, comprising, in the order from the object side, a diverging group and a converging group, said diverging group consisting of, in the order from the object side, a positive meniscus lens component convex to the object side, a positive meniscus lens component convex to the object side, a negative meniscus lens component convex to the object side and a positive lens component with its more curved surface facing the object side, said last three lens components being cemented to each other, said converging group consisting of, in the order from the object side, a positive doublet lens components with its more curved surface facing the image side and a biconcave negative lens component with its more curved surface facing the image side.
