| 20100220400 | ZOOM LENS, OPTICAL APPARATUS EQUIPPED THEREWITH AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE ZOOM LENS - A zoom lens ZL installed in a single-lens reflex digital camera | 09-02-2010 |
| 20100259834 | Wide-angle zoom lens - The present invention is directed to wide-angle zoom lenses dedicated to single-lens reflex digital cameras, which attains zoom ratio greater than 2. Such a wide-angle zoom lens has four groups of lens pieces, namely comprising the leading or foremost 1st lens group of negative refractivity closest to an objective field, the succeeding 2nd lens group of positive refractivity, the third lens group of negative refractivity, and the trailing 4th lens group of positive refractivity arranged in this order to move each lens group to vary optical power; and the 1st lens group includes a front subset of the lens pieces of negative refractive power and a rear subset of negative refractive power. The front-end lens piece in the 1st lens group is shaped in negative meniscus lens that has its concave surface faced toward an imaging plane and has the opposite surfaces shaped aspherical. The front and rear subsets of the 1st lens group meet requirements of a focal length as expressed in the following formula: | 10-14-2010 |
