Abstract

Abstract A large-aperture macro lens system comprising a first lens group having positive refractive power, a second lens group having positive refractive power, and a third lens group having negative refractive power in the order from the object side and arranged that, when focusing on an object at the shortest object distance from the state that the lens system is focused on an object at the infinite distance, the airspace between the first and second lens groups is varied in a pattern that the above-mentioned airspace is increased and, then, decreased by changing the varying direction near the position of the intermediate photographing magnification while the airspace between the second and third lens groups is increased continuously, the large-apertured macro lens system being arranged that aberrations are corrected favourably over the whole range of object distance from the infinite distance up to the distance corresponding to the photographing magnification of 1x, variation of aberrations, especially, variation of spherical aberration is small, and the lens system is arranged to be compact and to be bright, the effective F-number thereof at the photographing magnification of 1x being small. i.e., 5.2.
