Patent number: 8455810Abstract: An optical element incorporated into an imaging optical system, comprising: an effective diameter area that allows effective light flux contributing to imaging to pass, a non-effective diameter area that surrounds the effective diameter area; and an outer peripheral face that surrounds the non-effective diameter area. The effective diameter area, the non-effective diameter area and the outer peripheral face are centered on an imaging optical axis. At least a thickness-direction part of the outer peripheral face or a circumferential part thereof is a non-parallel face having an inclination to an imaging optical axis. A light incident from a face of an object side, reflected on a face of an image-plane side to the outer peripheral face and reflected on the outer peripheral face is not incident to an image plane.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2010Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: FUJIFILM CorporationInventors: Ryoko Tomioka, Tetsuya Okumura, Takayuki Noda

Patent number: 8279533Abstract: A zoom lens includes a negative first lens-group, a positive second lens-group, and a positive third lens-group, sequentially arranged from the object side. The focal length magnification of the zoom lens is changeable by changing a distance between the lens-groups. The first lens-group is composed of a negative first lens, the image side of which is concave, and a positive second lens that is an aspheric plastic lens. The second lens-group is composed of a cemented lens and a meniscus-form fifth lens having a convex surface facing the object side. The cemented lens is composed of a double-convex-form positive third lens and a double-concave-form negative fourth lens. The third lens-group is composed of a positive sixth lens, which is a single lens. Formula (1) about focal length fG2 of the second lens-group and focal length fw of the entire system at wide end is satisfied: 1.10<fG2/fw<1.33??(1).Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2011Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Fujifilm CorporationInventor: Ryoko Tomioka

Patent number: 7876429Abstract: The evaluating apparatus evaluates a restoration-premised lens which is employed in an image forming system that converts an optical image into an electronic image and then enforces a restoration processing on the electronic image in order to obtain a sharp image, is actually manufactured based on such design as premised on the restoration processing. The evaluating apparatus includes an evaluating corrective optical system, measuring section and evaluating section. The evaluating corrective optical system, when it is combined with a lens manufactured just as designed, forms a sharp optical image. The measuring section measures the optical characteristics of a composite optical system provided by combining together the evaluating corrective optical system and the manufactured lens. The evaluating section evaluates the manufactured lens according to measured results provided by measuring section.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2008Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: Fujinon CorporationInventor: Ryoko Tomioka

A first group includes, in order from the object side, a negative lens in a meniscus shape directing a convex surface on the object side, a negative lens in a meniscus shape directing a convex surface on the object side, and a positive lens in a meniscus shape directing a convex surface on the object side. A second group includes, in order from the object side, a cemented lens including a bi-convex lens and a bi-concave lens, and a lens in a meniscus shape directing a concave surface on the object side. A third group includes a positive lens. Each of the first group and the second group includes an aspherical surface.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2005Date of Patent: February 13, 2007Assignee: Fujinon CorporationInventor: Ryoko Tomioka

Patent number: 7164539Abstract: A three-group zoom lens includes five lens components and six lens elements. The first lens group from the object side has negative refractive power and both the second lens group, which includes a stop, and the third lens group from the object side have positive refractive powers. The first and second lens groups each include an aspheric surface. During zooming, the first lens group moves nearer the second lens group while the second lens group moves farther from the third lens group. The third lens group moves toward the object side when focusing from an object at infinity to a nearby object. The three lens groups have particular lens element constructions, and lens elements of the second and third lens groups satisfy certain conditions related to their focal lengths, Abbe numbers, and the focal length of the zoom lens.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2005Date of Patent: January 16, 2007Assignee: Fujinon CorporationInventor: Ryoko Tomioka
