Abstract:
1. A super wide angle optical system comprising, arranged about an optical axis: a first lens having a negative refractive power and having a meniscus shape with a convex object-side surface; a second lens having a negative refractive power and having a meniscus shape with a convex object-side surface; a third lens having a positive refractive power and having both convex surfaces; a fourth lens having a positive refractive power; a fifth lens having a negative refractive power; and a sixth lens having a positive refractive power, having both convex surfaces, and having at least one aspherical surface formed, wherein at least one of the first and second lenses has at least one surface formed to have an aspherical surface, each of the lenses satisfying following conditions 1 and 2: where θd is a maximum half angle of view of the optical system and TL is a distance from an object-side surface of a lens closest to the object side to an image plane, Yd is a maximum height of an image, f is a focal length of the optical system, and θd is a maximum half angle of a field of view of the optical system, and at least one of the first and second lenses, and the sixth lens satisfying following condition 3: where fp is a focal length of a lens having an aspherical surface and a positive refractive power, and fm is a focal length of a lens having an aspherical surface and a negative refractive power.
