The lenses are coaxial and are arranged with an exit pupil to cooperatively generate an image with a camera lens that has greater field of view than the camera lens alone when the exit pupil is coplanar and coaxial with an entrance pupil of the camera lens. Each lens has an aspheric object-side surface and an aspheric image-side surface. | 2016-02-25 |
20160054547 | Four-Piece All-Aspheric Adapter Fisheye Lens - A four-piece all-aspheric adapter fisheye lens includes a negative meniscus lens, a biconcave lens, a positive meniscus lens, and a biconvex lens. The biconcave lens is between the negative meniscus lens and the positive meniscus lens; the positive meniscus lens is between the biconcave lens and the biconvex lens. The negative meniscus lens, the biconcave lens, the positive meniscus lens, and the biconvex lens are coaxial and arranged with an exit pupil to cooperatively generate an image with a camera lens that has greater field of view than the camera lens alone when the exit pupil is coplanar and coaxial with an entrance pupil of the camera lens. Each of the negative meniscus lens, the biconcave lens, the positive meniscus lens, and the biconvex lens has an aspheric object-side surface and an aspheric image-side surface. | 2016-02-25 |
20160054548 | Zoom Lens - A zoom lens, in sequence from an object side to an image side along an optical axis, comprises a first lens group; a second lens group; a stop; and a rear lens group and comprising a third lens group, a fourth lens group, and a fifth lens group; the fourth lens group further comprises an image correction lens which is able to shifted in a direction transverse to the optical axis of the zoom lens to stabilize the picked-up image when the zoom lens vibrates; furthermore, the zoom lens satisfies the following condition: (1−β | 2016-02-25 |
