Abstract
Abstract An inverse telephoto large aperture wide angle lens comprises a first lens group with a negative refractive power, a second lens group with a positive refractive power, a stop, a third lens group with a negative refractive power, and a fourth lens group with a positive refractive power arranged in the named order from a side of an object, in which for focusing on a near object from infinity the first lens group is fixed with respect to an image surface, and the second, third, and fourth lens groups are moved along an optical axis thereof toward the object such that a space between the first lens group and the second group and a space between the second lens group and the third lens group decrease, but a space between the third lens group and the fourth lens group increases.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
137 words
An inverse telephoto large aperture wide angle lens comprising a first lens group with a negative refractive power, a second lens group with a positive refractive power, a stop, a third lens group with a negative refractive power, and a fourth lens group with a positive refractive power arranged in the order from an object side, wherein for focusing on a near object from infinity said first lens group is fixed with respect to an image surface, and said second, third, and fourth lens groups are moved along an optical axis thereof toward said object such that a space between said first lens group and said second lens group and a space between said second lens group and said third lens group decrease, but a space between said third lens group and said fourth lens group increases.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
137 words
An inverse telephoto large aperture wide angle lens comprising a first lens group with a negative refractive power, a second lens group with a positive refractive power, a stop, a third lens group with a negative refractive power, and a fourth lens group with a positive refractive power arranged in the order from an object side, wherein for focusing on a near object from infinity said first lens group is fixed with respect to an image surface, and said second, third, and fourth lens groups are moved along an optical axis thereof toward said object such that a space between said first lens group and said second lens group and a space between said second lens group and said third lens group decrease, but a space between said third lens group and said fourth lens group increases.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
103 words
An inverse telephoto large aperture wide angle lens according to claim 1, wherein the following conditions are satisfied for movement for focusing of said second, third, and fourth lens groups moved on the optical axis: Δd.sub.2 =Δd.sub.4 ; (1) O<Δd.sub.3 /Δd.sub.2 <1.3, (2) where Δd 2 represents an amount of movement for focusing of said second lens group with respect to an infinity focus, Δd 3 an amount of movement for focusing of said third lens group with respect to the infinity focus, and Δd 4 an amount of movement for focusing of said fourth lens group with respect to the infinity focus.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
102 words
An inverse telephoto large aperture wide angle lens according to claim 2, wherein the following conditions are further satisfied: -4<f.sub.1 /f<-2; (3) -3<f.sub.3 /f<-1.2; (4) 0.35<D.sub.1,2 /f<0.65; (5) 0.35<D.sub.2,3 /f<0.5, (6) where f 1 is a focal length of said first lens group, f 3 a focal length of said third lens group, f a focal length of overall lens system, D 1 ,2 an air space between the first lens group and the second lens group at the infinity focus, and D 2 ,3 an air space between the second lens group and the third lens group at the infinity focus.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
91 words
A large aperture wide angle lens comprising a first lens group with a negative refractive power, a second lens group with a positive refractive power, a third lens group with a negative refractive power, and a fourth lens group with a positive refractive power arranged in the order from an object side, wherein for focusing on a near object from infinity said first lens group is fixed with respect to an image surface, and said second, third, and fourth lens groups are moved along an optical axis thereof toward said object.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
91 words
A large aperture wide angle lens comprising a first lens group with a negative refractive power, a second lens group with a positive refractive power, a third lens group with a negative refractive power, and a fourth lens group with a positive refractive power arranged in the order from an object side, wherein for focusing on a near object from infinity said first lens group is fixed with respect to an image surface, and said second, third, and fourth lens groups are moved along an optical axis thereof toward said object.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
71 words
A large aperture wide angle lens according to claim 4, wherein said second, third and fourth lens groups are moved along the optical axis for focusing on a nearer object such that a space between said first lens group and said second group and a space between said second lens group and said third lens group decrease, but a space between said third lens group and said fourth lens group increases.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
A large aperture wide angle lens according to claim 5, further comprising a stop disposed between first lens group and said fourth lens group.
