Abstract

Abstract An ocular optical system having a wide diopter adjustment range including, in order from the viewing side, a first lens component having a negative refracting power, a second lens component having a positive refracting power, a third lens component having a negative refracting power, a pentaprism and a condenser lens component. The second lens component having the positive refracting power is movable for diopter adjustment. The optical system satisfies the following conditions: F1<0, 0.7F<¦F1¦<F, (1) 0.35F<F1.2<0.55F, and (2) 1.4<( nu 2+ nu 3)/( nu 1+ nu 4)<1.8, (3) where F is the overall focal length of the optical system, F1.2 . . . i is the resultant focal length up to the i-th lens group, and nu i is the Abbe number of the i-th lens from the viewing side.
