Description

A macro lens assembly
The present invention is directed to a macro lens assembly and camera objectives especially as claimed in the independent claims .
Macro lens systems, capable of close up photographing, as for example disclosed in US 8681435 usually have a plurality of lens groups, wherein typically two or more lens groups are moveable.
EP3226054 discloses endoscope lens systems for proximity magni fying observation. An optical system may comprise (in order from an object side) a first lens group having a positive refractive power, a second lens group having a negative refractive power and third lens group having a positive refractive power, wherein focusing is carried out by moving the second lens group.
It is an object of the present invention to overcome the draw backs of the state of the art, in particular it is an object to provide a lens assembly which can be produced cost efficiently and which nevertheless has a stable performance, preferably at an 1:1 magnification.
The objects are solved with the invention as defined in the claims .
A macro lens assembly for a camera comprises a first group of lenses having a positive refractive power, a second group of lenses having a positive refractive power, a third group of lenses having a negative refractive power and a fourth group of lenses having a positive refractive power, in order from an ob ject side to an image plane side. The lens assembly is contained in a housing and has a mechanical and optionally an electric and electronic interface for connec tion with a camera.
Each group of lenses comprises at least one lens.
The first group, the second group and the fourth group are fixed. Thus the distance between the respective groups remains constant. The third group is moveable with respect to the other groups, such that a focus is adjustable by moving the third lens group .
The distance between the second and third group and thereby also the distance between the third group and the fourth group can be changed .
Hence only the third lens group is used for focusing which al lows a construction of the lens assembly with reasonable costs.
Preferably the macro lens assembly enables taking pictures from infinity to a 1:1 magnification.
Preferably the macro lens assembly is a telephotographic macro lens assembly.
For a lens assembly of the telephoto type, the macro lens system has an overall positive refractive power. Usually a lens group with a negative refraction power is used as a field flattener to correct the curvature of the image field.
In this case the performance is maximized by placing a lens group with a positive refraction power close to the image plane. The macro lens system may satisfy the expression
Figure imgf000005_0001
r
wherein f4 denotes the focal length of the fourth group of lens, which is placed close to the image plane and wherein f denotes the overall focal length of the assembly at in infinite object distance .
Preferably the fourth group of lens comprises more than one lens .
In particular the macro lens system may satisfy the expression
Figure imgf000005_0002
r
wherein fiast denotes the focal length of the lens of the fourth group which is placed most closely to the image plane.
The above mentioned ratio may be achieved by a specific curva ture of the last lens.
In a beneficial embodiment of the invention the macro lens sys tem satisfies the expression
Figure imgf000005_0003
wherein Riast denotes the curvature of the lens of the fourth group which is placed most closely to the image plane.
Advantageously the assembly is configured for forming an image of an object an infinite distance when the third group is placed most closely to the second group, and for acting as a macro lens, preferably with magnification of -1, when the third group is placed most closely to the fourth group. The moveable third group may change the magnification of the macro lens system according to a changed object distance.
In particular the assembly satisfies the expression
Figure imgf000006_0001
wherein EP denotes the entrance pupil of the widest aperture at infinity and EPmacro denotes the entrance pupil of the widest aperture at minimum focal distance. Regularly apertures or stops move in macro systems. For the as sembly according to the present invention, preferable the aper ture or stop, in particular arranged between the first and the second group of lens, does not move. Hence, there is no change in the entrance pupil and EP is more or less equal to EPmacro.
Advantageously the assembly satisfies the expression
Figure imgf000006_0002
wherein f3 denotes the focal length of the third lens group.
Advantageously the assembly satisfies the expression
Figure imgf000006_0003
wherein fi denotes the focal length of the first lens group.
Advantageously the assembly satisfies the expression
Figure imgf000006_0004
wherein f2 denotes the focal length of the second lens group. The conditions provide for minimizing a performance change when the focal distance is changed from infinity to a minimum focal distance .
In a preferred embodiment of the invention the assembly does not comprise any aspherical lens. Hence the assembly may be con structed without cost intensive elements.
Preferably the macro lens assembly has an overall focal length at in infinite object distance of f greater than 50mm, prefer ably greater or equal 150mm.
In a beneficial embodiment of the macro lens assembly the aper ture is arranged between the first lens group and second lens group. In particular the aperture is not moveable and hence the first lens group, the aperture and the second lens group form a fixed unit.
In an advantageous embodiment of the macro lens assembly the first lens group includes two cemented lens, each comprising two lens .
At least one of the two cemented lens may comprise a negative lens .
The first lens group may comprise two further single lens, wherein preferably one is arranged between the cemented lens.
The second lens group may consist only of one lens.
In an advantageous embodiment of the macro lens assembly the third lens group includes a cemented lens, the cemented lens comprising two lens. The third lens group may comprise one further lens.
The object according to the inventions is also solved by a cam era objective comprising a macro lens assembly as described above .
