Abstract
Photographic wide angle zoom objective of the retrofocus type having a group of negative refractive power (VG-) comprising four lens components (L1, L2, L3, L4) and being a front group when seen from the object side, and having a rear group of positive refractive power (HG+) including six lens components (L5, L6, L7, L8, L9, L10) and facing an image plane, the distance between the rear group (HG+) and the image plane (BE) being increased, and the distance between the front group (VG-) and image plane (BE) being reduced, during an increase in the focal length, characterized in that the first two lens components (L1, L2) have a negative refractive power when seen from the object side in the light direction, the third and fourth lens components (L3, L4) are grouped into a cemented component with a positive total refractive power and the fifth lens component (L5) has a positive refractive power, the sixth and seventh lens components (L6, L7) are grouped into a cemented component with a positive total refractive power, the eighth and ninth lens components (L8, L9) are grouped into a cemented component with a negative total refractive power, and the tenth lens component (L10) has a positive refractive power.
