DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0046] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail in accordance with the accompanying drawings.
[0047] Now, features of each of Embodiments of the present invention are described.
[0048] A soft focus optical system according to one embodiment of the present invention is used by being arranged on an image side of an image pickup optical system (image pickup lens) to give a soft focus effect on an optical image formed by the image pickup optical system. When a magnification of the soft focus optical system according to one embodiment of the present invention is represented by B, the following conditional expression (1) is satisfied.
0.950<B<1.050(1)
[0049] The conditional expression (1) is defined to substantially match, when the soft focus optical system according to one embodiment of the present invention is used by being arranged on the image side of the image pickup optical system, a focal length of the image pickup optical system and a combined focal length of the image pickup optical system and the soft focus optical system. When the upper limit condition or the lower limit condition of the conditional expression (1) is not satisfied, the focal length of the image pickup optical system and the combined focal length of the image pickup optical system and the soft focus optical system are significantly changed from each other.
[0050] It is more preferred to set the conditional expression (1) as follows:
0.955<B<1.045(1a).
[0051] It is further preferred to set the conditional expression (1) as follows:
0.980<B<1.020(1b).
[0052] When a focal length of the above-mentioned one negative lens is represented by fn, a focal length of the above-mentioned one positive lens is represented by fp, and a maximum image height of the above-mentioned image pickup lens is represented by Y, the soft focus optical system according to one embodiment of the present invention satisfies the following conditional expression (2):
|(2Y)2/(fnfp)|0.005(2),
or when 0.005<|(2Y)2/(fnfp)|, the following conditional expression (3):
fn/fp<0.750(3).
[0053] The maximum image height of the image pickup lens as used herein refers to a maximum image height (half (radius of) the image circle) that determines a half angle of view of the image pickup lens.
[0054] The conditional expression (2) defines the focal lengths of the lenses of the soft focus optical system. When the conditional expression (2) is satisfied, refractive powers of the lenses become weaker, and curvatures of a surface on an object side and a surface on the image side become closer to each other in each lens. As a result, in each lens, the surfaces have the same level of inclination angles with respect to a principal ray of an off-axial ray, and hence spherical aberration and various aberrations generated by the surfaces cancel each other, with the result that occurrences of comatic aberration and curvature of field can be suppressed.
[0055] The conditional expression (3) defines a ratio between the focal lengths of the lenses of the soft focus optical system. When the lenses have certain degrees of focal lengths or more, the refractive powers of the lenses become stronger, and the curvatures of the surface on the object side and the surface on the image side become more separated from each other in each lens. As a result, in each lens, the surfaces have different inclination angles with respect to the principal ray of the off-axial ray, and hence it becomes difficult to cancel the spherical aberration and the various aberrations generated by the surfaces, and hence to suppress the occurrences of the comatic aberration and the curvature of field. In this case, when the refractive powers of the positive lens and the negative lens are set closer to each other such that a ratio between the refractive powers is around 1, off-axial aberrations generated by the negative lens can be corrected by the positive lens.
[0056] When neither the upper limit condition of the conditional expression (2) nor the upper limit condition of the conditional expression (3) is satisfied, canceling of various off-axial aberrations between the negative lens and the positive lens is disadvantageously reduced.
[0057] It is more preferred to set the conditional expression (3) as follows:
fn/fp<0.800(3a).
[0058] It is further preferred to set the conditional expression (3) as follows:
fn/fp<0.830(3b).
[0059] The image pickup optical system (image pickup lens) to be arranged on the object side of the soft focus optical system according to one embodiment of the present invention when the soft focus optical system is used is a lens for normal photography, which is configured to perform sharp depiction, and in which the aberrations are satisfactorily corrected. When a spherical aberration amount at 100 percent of ray height with respect to a d-line in an in-focus state at an infinite distance is represented by SA, and an F-number of the image pickup lens is represented by Fno, the image pickup optical system satisfies the following conditional expression (4):
|SA|(2YFno)<4.00010.sup.3(4).
[0060] The conditional expression (4) defines the image pickup optical system, and when the conditional expression (4) is satisfied, sharp depiction with reduced spherical aberration becomes possible.
[0061] When the upper limit condition of the conditional expression (4) is not satisfied, it becomes disadvantageously difficult for the image pickup optical system to perform the sharp depiction.
[0062] It is more preferred to set the conditional expression (4) as follows:
|SA|(2YFno)<2.50010.sup.3(4a).
[0063] It is further preferred to set the conditional expression (4) as follows:
|SA|(2YFno)<1.50010.sup.3(4b).
[0064] The soft focus optical system according to one embodiment of the present invention consists of two lenses. This is a minimum configuration that is required to satisfy the conditional expression (1) while the aberrations of the image pickup optical system, to which the soft focus optical system is connected, are changed. When the conditional expression (1) is not satisfied, it becomes difficult to downsize or reduce weight of the soft focus optical system.
[0065] Moreover, as a further embodiment of the present invention, it is preferred that, in order to correct axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration of magnification, the soft focus optical system be a cemented lens obtained by cementing a negative lens and a positive lens.
[0066] Moreover, when curvature radii of the surfaces on the object side and the image side of the negative lens and curvature radii of the surfaces on the object side and the image side of the positive lens, which form the soft focus optical system according to one embodiment of the present invention, are represented by rn1, rn2, rp1, and rp2, respectively, it is preferred to satisfy the following conditional expressions (2), (5), and (6):
|(2Y).sup.2/(fnfp)|0.005(2);
2.5<|SFn|(5); and
2.5<|SFp|(6),
provided that:
SFn=(rn1+rn2)/(rn1rn2); and
SFp=(rp1+rp2)/(rp1rp2).
[0067] The conditional expressions (5) and (6) define lens shapes (shape factors) of the lenses forming the soft focus optical system. The lenses forming the soft focus optical system include a negative lens and a positive lens. When the curvatures of the surface on the object side and the surface on the image side are close to each other in each lens, the surfaces have the same level of inclination angles with respect to the principal ray of the off-axial ray in each lens, and hence the spherical aberration and the various aberrations generated by the surfaces cancel each other, with the result that the occurrences of the comatic aberration and the curvature of field can be suppressed. When the conditional expressions (5) and (6) are satisfied, it becomes possible to suppress the occurrences of the off-axial aberrations and other various aberrations at the surfaces of the soft focus optical system. When the shape factors fall below the lower limit values of the conditional expressions (5) and (6), the refractive power becomes much stronger in each of the negative lens and the positive lens, with the result that it becomes difficult to suppress the occurrences of the off-axial aberrations, chromatic aberration, and other various aberrations.
[0068] It is more preferred to set the conditional expressions (5) and (6) as follows:
3.0<|SFn|(5a); and
3.0<|SFp|(6a).
[0069] Moreover, in the negative lens and the positive lens, which form the soft focus optical system according to one embodiment of the present invention, when, of the positive lens and the negative lens, a curvature radius of a surface on the object side of a lens on the object side is represented by r1, and a curvature radius of a surface on the image side of a lens on the image side is represented by r4, and when
0.005<|(2Y).sup.2/(fnfp)|,
the surface on the object side of the lens on the object side is convex toward the object side, and the surface on the image side of the lens on the image side is convex toward the object side, and it is preferred to satisfy the following conditional expression (7):
6.5<|SFnp|(7),
provided that:
SFnp=(r1+r4)/(r1r4).
[0070] The conditional expression (7) defines the lens shapes (shape factors) of the lenses forming the soft focus optical system. When the lenses have certain degrees of the focal lengths or more, it is required to cancel the various aberrations at the surfaces of the negative lens and the positive lens as the entire soft focus optical system. The curvature of the surface on the object side of the lens on the object side, which generates a large amount of aberrations, and the curvature of the surface on the image side of the lens on the image side have the same level of inclination angles with respect to the off-axial ray, and hence the various aberrations caused by the off-axial ray, which are generated by the surfaces, cancel each other at the surfaces, with the result that the occurrences of the off-axial aberrations can be suppressed.
[0071] Meanwhile, for an axial ray, when the surface on the object side of the lens on the object side is convex toward the object side and the surface on the image side of the lens on the image side is convex toward the object side, and the surfaces have the same level of curvature, the inclination angle of the surface on the image side of the lens on the image side, which generates undercorrected spherical aberration, becomes larger than the inclination angle of the surface on the object side of the lens on the object side, which generates overcorrected spherical aberration. Therefore, negative spherical aberration can be generated as the soft focus optical system.
[0072] When the shape factors fall below the lower limit value of the conditional expression (7), it becomes disadvantageously difficult to satisfactorily cancel the various aberrations at the surfaces of the negative lens and the positive lens as the entire soft focus optical system.
[0073] It is more preferred to set the conditional expression (7) as follows:
7.0<|SFnp|(7a).
[0074] Moreover, when a refractive index of a material of the negative lens with respect to the d-line is represented by Nn, and a refractive index of a material of the positive lens with respect to the d-line is represented by Np, it is preferred that the negative lens and the positive lens, which form the soft focus optical system according to one embodiment of the present invention, satisfy the following conditional expression (8):
0.740<Nn/Np<1.350(8).
[0075] The conditional expression (8) defines the refractive indices of the lenses forming the soft focus optical system. When the range of the conditional expression (8) is satisfied, the spherical aberration and the Petzval sum can be effectively controlled.
[0076] When the upper limit condition of the conditional expression (8) is not satisfied, the negative refractive index becomes much larger, and hence the Petzval sum becomes disadvantageously larger with respect to the image pickup lens. When the lower limit condition of the conditional expression (8) is not satisfied, the Petzval sum becomes disadvantageously smaller. Moreover, the refractive index of the positive lens becomes larger with respect to that of the negative lens, and the curvature of the positive lens becomes milder, with the result that the spherical aberration generated by the positive lens becomes disadvantageously smaller.
[0077] It is more preferred to set the conditional expression (8) as follows:
0.800<Nn/Np<1.250(8a).
[0078] The soft focus optical system according to one embodiment of the present invention may be used as a soft focus lens that is integrally connected to the image pickup optical system on the image side of the image pickup optical system, or as a soft focus optical apparatus having a configuration that is attachable/detachable on the image side of the image pickup optical system. Now, there are described configurations of the soft focus optical system and the image pickup optical system when the soft focus optical system is used as the soft focus lens having a configuration in which the soft focus optical system is integrated, or as a soft focus adapter having a configuration in which the soft focus optical system according to one embodiment of the present invention is attachable/detachable on the image side of the image pickup optical system.
[0079] When a spherical aberration amount at 100 percent of ray height with respect to the d-line in the in-focus state at the infinite distance at the time of being integrated with the image pickup optical system on the image side of the image pickup optical system is represented by SAs, the soft focus optical system according to one embodiment of the present invention satisfies the following conditional expression (9):
7.00010.sup.3<(SAsSA)/(2YFno)<0.80010.sup.3(9).
[0080] The conditional expression (9) defines the soft focus effect by the soft focus optical system. The conditional expression (9) is satisfied to generate undercorrected spherical aberration with respect to the image pickup optical system, with the result that soft depiction with beautiful quality of back bokeh can be expressed.
[0081] When the upper limit condition of the conditional expression (9) is not satisfied, it becomes difficult for the soft focus optical system to depict blur effectively.
[0082] It is more preferred to set the conditional expression (9) as follows:
5.00010.sup.3<(SAsSA)/(2YFno)<0.80010.sup.3(9a).
[0083] When the soft focus optical system according to one embodiment of the present invention is connected on the image side of the image pickup optical system, the above-mentioned conditional expression (1) means that a focal length of an entire system is substantially constant between a normal photographic lens consisting of only the image pickup optical system and the soft focus lens in which the soft focus optical system is connected. This is equivalent to satisfying a conditional expression (1c) when a focal length of the image pickup optical system is represented by f1, and a focal length of the soft focus lens obtained by connecting the soft focus optical system to the image pickup optical system is represented by f.
0.950<f/f1<1.050(1c)
[0084] A lens apparatus in which the image pickup optical system and the soft focus adapter are detachably connected to each other, or the soft focus lens, consists of, in order from the object side to the image side, the image pickup optical system having a positive refractive power and the soft focus optical system, and the soft focus optical system consists of the following two lenses: a negative lens and a positive lens. The refractive power as used herein is defined as a reciprocal of a focal length.
[0085] When a distance from a surface closest to the image side of the image pickup optical system to a surface closest to the object side of the soft focus optical system is represented by L1, and a distance from the surface closest to the image side of the image pickup optical system to an image plane is represented by L1d, it is preferred to satisfy the following conditional expression (10):
0.000<L1/L1d<0.500(10).
[0086] The conditional expression (10) defines a position of the soft focus optical system. When it is desired to change the spherical aberration, a larger change can be achieved as a ray height of the axial ray of the soft focus optical system becomes higher, and hence it is preferred in controlling the spherical aberration that the soft focus optical system be positioned closer to the image pickup optical system. Moreover, as the soft focus optical system becomes closer to the image pickup optical system, a ray height of the principal ray of the off-axial ray can be suppressed, with the result that the effect on peripheral performance can advantageously be suppressed more. When the conditional expression (10) is satisfied, arrangement that is effective in changing the spherical aberration can be achieved. When the ratio falls below the lower limit value of the conditional expression (10), it becomes difficult to control the spherical aberration. When the ratio exceeds the upper limit value of the conditional expression (10), the image pickup optical system and the soft focus optical system disadvantageously interfere with each other.
[0087] It is more preferred to set the conditional expression (10) as follows:
0.000<L1/L1d<0.300(10a).
[0088] Further, when a distance on an optical axis from an exit pupil of a lens apparatus consisting of only the image pickup optical system to the image plane is represented by Tk1, it is preferred for the image pickup optical system, to which the soft focus optical system according to one embodiment of the present invention is applied, to satisfy the following conditional expression (11):
0.033<|/Tk1<0.009(11).
[0089] The conditional expression (11) defines the distance on the optical axis from the exit pupil of the lens apparatus consisting of only the image pickup optical system to the image plane. When the distance on the optical axis from the exit pupil of the image pickup optical system to the image plane does not satisfy the conditional expression (11), inclination angles of the axial ray and the principal ray of the off-axial ray that enter the surfaces of the soft focus lens become much larger, and hence it becomes difficult to achieve both the suppression of the various aberrations in the periphery and the generation of an appropriate amount of spherical aberration.
[0090] Now, Embodiments 1 to 14 of the present invention are described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Embodiment 1
[0091] A soft focus optical system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention is described with reference to
[0092]
[0093] A first lens unit (image pickup optical system) U1 has a positive refractive power as a whole. The first lens unit U1 consists of a first sub-lens unit U11, a second sub-lens unit U12, and a third sub-lens unit U13. The third sub-lens unit U13 is configured to move from the image side to the object side during focus adjustment from the infinite distance to a finite distance. The second sub-lens unit U12 is a lens unit that is configured to move in conjunction with the third sub-lens unit U13 to correct an image plane variation accompanying focusing. An aperture stop SP is located between the second sub-lens unit U12 and the third sub-lens unit U13. A second lens unit U2 is a second lens unit (soft focus optical system) consisting of the following two lenses: a negative meniscus lens having a convex surface on the object side, and a positive meniscus lens having a convex surface on the object side. An image plane IP corresponds to an image pickup surface of an image pickup element (photoelectric conversion element).
[0094] An optical system of the first lens unit U1 alone acts as a normal photographic lens that is capable of sharp depiction, and when the second lens unit is added on the image side of the first lens unit, a soft focus lens that provides soft-focus depiction in which large spherical aberration is generated is obtained. Therefore, a normal lens consisting of only the first lens unit to which the second lens unit is not applied and the second lens unit are prepared, and the normal lens and the second lens unit are used in combination to easily obtain two kinds of lenses: the soft focus lens and the normal photographic lens.
[0095] The second lens unit U2 consists of the following two lenses: the negative meniscus lens having the convex surface on the object side and the positive meniscus lens having the convex surface on the object side, and has a negative refractive power as a whole. As a result, the spherical aberration can be changed significantly while the occurrences of the off-axial aberrations and other various aberrations are suppressed before and after the addition of the second lens unit, and negative spherical aberration can be generated by the second lens unit to express soft depiction for back bokeh, which is used frequently.
[0096] Next, lens configurations of the lens units in Embodiment 1 are described. In the following description, it is assumed that the lenses are arranged in order from the object side to the image side. The first lens unit U1 consists of a first sub-lens unit U11, a second sub-lens unit U12, and a third sub-lens unit U13. The first sub-lens unit U11 consists of two negative lenses and one positive lens, the second sub-lens unit U12 consists of a positive lens and a cemented lens of a positive lens and a negative lens, and the third sub-lens unit U13 consists of a cemented lens of a negative lens and a positive lens and two positive lenses. The configuration of the first lens unit is the same in each of Embodiments 1 to 7 and 10 to 14.
[0097] The second lens unit U2 in Embodiment 1 consists of a cemented lens consisting of, in order from the object side, a negative lens and a positive lens. The lenses are the negative meniscus lens having the convex surface on the object side and the positive meniscus lens having the convex surface on the object side. The soft focus lens according to Embodiment 1 has a focal length of 34.2 mm, a half angle of view of 32.3, and an F-number of 1.45.
[0098]

[0101] A second lens unit (soft focus optical system) U2 in Embodiment 2 consists of, in order from the object side to the image side, the following single lenses: one negative lens and one positive lens. The lenses are a negative meniscus lens having a convex surface on the object side and a positive meniscus lens having a convex surface on the object side. The soft focus lens according to Embodiment 2, which consists of the first lens unit and the second lens unit, has a focal length of 34.2 mm, a half angle of view of 32.3, and an F-number of 1.45.
[0102]
[0103] As values corresponding to the conditional expressions in Embodiment 2 are shown in Table 1, Embodiment 2 satisfies the expressions (1), (3), (4), and (7) to (11).
Embodiment 3
[0104]
[0105] In Embodiment 3, specific configurations of a first lens unit (first sub-lens unit U11, a second sub-lens unit U12, and a third sub-lens unit U13) are the same as those in Embodiment 1. A second lens unit (soft focus optical system) U2 in Embodiment 3 consists of, in order from the object side to the image side, the following single lenses: one negative lens and one positive lens. The lenses are a negative meniscus lens having a convex surface on the object side and a positive meniscus lens having a convex surface on the object side. The soft focus lens according to Embodiment 3, which consists of the first lens unit and the second lens unit, has a focal length of 34.2 mm, a half angle of view of 32.3, and an F-number of 1.45.
