Abstract

Abstract A bright medium-range telephoto lens comprises, in order from an object, a first positive lens having a stronger positive power toward the object, a second positive-meniscus lens having a stronger positive power toward the object, a third negative-meniscus lens having a stronger negative power toward an image, a compound lens spaced from the third lens with an aperture interposed therebetween and having a fourth negative lens having a stronger negative power toward the object and a fifth positive lens having a stronger positive power toward the image, a sixth positive lens, and a seventh positive lens having a weak power.
