A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11885937B2) discloses an optical photographing lens assembly consisting of nine lens elements arranged from the object side to the image side. Notably, the assembly includes at least three lens elements with aspheric lens surfaces containing inflection points. Additionally, there is an air gap between the eighth and ninth lens elements, with the ninth lens element possessing negative refractive power. The patent specifies various conditions related to axial distances, focal length, entrance pupil diameter, and other parameters to ensure optimal performance of the lens assembly.

Furthermore, the patent outlines specific conditions related to the axial distances between lens elements, central thicknesses, Abbe numbers, and focal lengths to meet the desired optical characteristics. For instance, the ratio of the maximum axial distance between adjacent lens elements to the minimum central thickness must fall within a specified range. Similarly, conditions regarding the sum of axial distances, central thicknesses, and focal lengths of individual lens elements are defined to ensure the overall functionality and performance of the optical system. These stringent criteria aim to enhance the imaging capabilities and efficiency of the lens assembly for various photographic applications.
