DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0046] It should be understood that, in the description below, terms indicating directions or positional references such as “in the middle”, “upper”, “lower”, “left”, “right”, “vertical”, “horizontal”, “inner” and “outer” should be understood based on the directions or positional references shown according to the figures. These terms are used merely for the ease of describing the invention and for simplifying the description, and should not be understood to indicate or suggest that the positions or elements referred to must be oriented to specific directions or be configured and operated according to the specific directions, and thus these terms should not be considered limiting the present invention.

[0047] As shown in FIGS. 1-21, the internal focus large-aperture telephoto lens comprises, sequentially from an object side to an image side, a first lens assembly G1 with positive focal power, a second lens assembly G2 with negative focal power, an aperture stop STP, a third lens assembly G3 with positive focal power, and a fourth lens assembly G4 with negative focal power. The first lens assembly G1, the second lens assembly G2, the third lens assembly G3 and the fourth lens assembly G4 are all spherical lenses. When focusing from infinity to proximity, the second lens assembly G2 moves along an optical axis towards the image side, the third lens assembly G3 moves along the optical axis towards the object side, the first lens assembly G1 and the fourth lens assembly G4 remain static in position in relation to the image side. In order to adjust axial chromatic aberration, the first lens assembly G1 comprises at least one meniscus lens, and at least one lens with Vd1≥70; the first lens assembly G1 satisfies conditional expression as follows:

0.3≤F1/F≤1,  (1);

(Vd1a−Vd1b)≥30,  (2);

[0048] wherein, F represents focal length of the telephoto lens; F1 represents combined focal length of the first lens assembly G1; Vd1 is defined as Abbe number of a light beam with wavelength of 587.6 nm of the lens; Vd1a is Abbe number of the light beam with wavelength of 587.6 nm of the lens of the highest Abbe number in the first lens assembly G1; Vd1b is Abbe number of the light beam with wavelength 587.6 nm of the lens of the lowest Abbe number in the first lens assembly G1.

[0049] The first lens assembly G1 comprises, sequentially from the object side to the image side, a first lens L11 with positive focal power, a second lens L12 with positive focal power, a third lens L13 with positive focal power, a fourth lens L14 with negative focal power, a fifth lens L15 with negative focal power and a sixth lens L16 with positive focal power. The third lens L13 and the fourth lens L14 are combined to form a cemented lens assembly; the fifth lens L15 and the sixth lens L16 are combined to form a cemented lens assembly; the second lens L12 and the sixth lens L16 are meniscus lenses; the first lens L11, the second lens L12, the third lens L13 and the sixth lens L16 are extra-low dispersion lens; with the use of low dispersion lens, good axial chromatic aberration adjustment can be achieved, thereby reducing dispersion of in-focus and out-of-focus pictures.

[0050] The second lens assembly G2 comprises, sequentially from the object side to the image side, a seventh lens L21 with positive focal power, an eighth lens L22 with negative focal power and a ninth lens L23 with negative focal power. The seventh lens L21 and the eighth lens L22 are combined to form a cemented lens assembly. The second lens assembly G2 has a first lens surface which is proximal to the object side and convex towards the object side, and a second lens surface which is proximal to the image side and concave towards the object side. The second lens assembly G2 satisfies conditional expression as follows:

−0.9≤F2/F≤0,  (3);

[0051] wherein F represents focal length of the telephoto lens; F2 represents combined focal length of the second lens assembly G2.

[0052] The third lens assembly G3 comprises, sequentially from the object side to the image side, a tenth lens L31 with positive focal power and an eleventh lens L32 with negative focal power; the tenth lens L31 and the eleventh lens L32 are combined to form a cemented lens assembly. The fourth lens assembly G4 satisfies conditional expression as follows:

−3≤F3/F4≤0,  (4);

[0053] wherein F3 represents combined focal length of the third lens assembly G3; F4 represents combined focal length of the fourth lens assembly G4.

[0054] To achieve high magnification and high resolution, it is necessary to focus by means of internal double lens movement. When focusing from infinity to proximity, the second lens assembly G2 moves along the optical axis towards the image side, the third lens assembly G3 moves along the optical axis towards the object side, thus the second lens assembly G2 and the third lens assembly G3 move differentially towards each other when focusing. The aforementioned focusing method is beneficial for adjusting aberration introduced during close-up shooting, and exhibits relatively good inhibition especially for curvature of field. Therefore, it is possible to achieve high magnification and high resolution at the same time. Besides, the second lens assembly G2 and the third lens assembly G3 are used for focusing. As the aperture, size and number of lenses of these two lens assembly are relatively small, particularly the third lens assembly G3 has only two lenses, the overall weight is lower than that of the first lens assembly G1 and the fourth lens assembly G4, thereby beneficial in increasing focusing speed and achieve quick focusing.
