- Example 3
- Focal length f = 29.48mm
- Fno. 2.92
- Half angle ω = 24.86 °
- Image height 13.66mm
- The overall length of the lens 78.43mm
- BF 35.40mm
- Effective diameter of 22.43mm front lens
- 10 pieces of 8 lens configuration
- One piece of one aspherical surface
- Resin lens
- Vulnerable to temperature change
- There are restrictions on the type of coating, ghost and flare cause of
- Canon patent
- The final lens group is arranged a resin lens having a concave surface facing the image side, and place the glass lens on the image side
- Weaken the power of the resin lens, I reduce the performance variation due to temperature change
- Incident light axial rays is arranged in a low position of the resin lens, to suppress the influence of the birefringence variation of the resin lens
- Likely to occur in the concave surface of the resin lensghost is avoided by optimization of the power of the air lens in the shape of the glass lens and resin lens, in the meantime
