Abstract
Abstract An objective lens comprising a first group consisting of negative and positive components. When focusing is made, the negative component moves toward the object point and simultaneously, the positive component is moved in the same direction with a less amount with the aid of a nonlinear cam. The nearest distance is significantly shortened while the aberrations are excellently corrected without increasing the lens diameter.

In an objective optical system of the type in which a first group constituting a portion of the objective system, facing an object to be photographed and having a converging performance is moved for focusing, the first group comprising a negative component movable toward the object when focusing from the infinity to a finite distance and a positive component behind the negative component and movable toward the object a smaller amount than the negative component when focusing from the infinity to a finite distance; a zoom system comprising a second negative group behind said first group and stationary when focusing but movable mainly for zooming performance, and a third positive group behind the second negative group and stationary when focusing but movable for maintaining an image point at a definite position; a relay system comprising a fourtH negative group behind the zoom system providing a definite position relative to the image point and a fifth positive group behind the fourth group providing a definite position relative to the image point; the system further including a light dividing member behind the zoom system and in the vicinity of the relay system, the light dividing member providing a definite position relative to the image point and leading the light rays incident into the objective to a finder; and wherein the negative component of the first group consists of a doublet member cementing a positive meniscus element concave toward an object point with a negative biconcave element; the positive component of the first group consists of a first doublet member cementing a positive biconvex element with a negative meniscus element concave toward the object point, a second intermediate doublet member cementing a negative meniscus element convex toward the object point with a positive biconvex element and a third single member of a positive meniscus element convex toward the object point; the front member of the second group is a single member of a negative meniscus element convex toward the object point, the rear member of the second group is a doublet member cementing a negative biconcave element with a positive meniscus element convex toward the object point; the front member of the third group is a single member of a positive biconvex element, the rear member of the third group is a doublet member cementing a positive biconvex element with a negative meniscus element concave toward the object point; the fourth group comprises a front member of a single negative biconcave element and the rear light dividing member of parallel plane surfaces; the fifth group comprises the front member of a single positive biconvex element and the rear member of a doublet cementing a positive biconvex element with a negative biconcave element; and the objective optical system has the following data: aperture ratio f1.8 focal length f 9.5 about 50mm.
