A diaphragm apparatus of a lens includes a diaphragm opening and closing ring and a diaphragm supporting ring for supporting a plurality of diaphragm blades and for opening and closing a diaphragm aperture in accordance with the relative rotation of the diaphragm blades. A diaphragm value setting ring sets a diaphragm value. A releasing member is actuated upon a release of a shutter to rotate the diaphragm opening and closing ring to thereby stop-down the latter. A cam mechanism operates in associated with the rotation of the diaphragm value setting ring to restrict the angular displacement of the diaphragm opening and closing ring into the stopping-down direction, and a stopping-down mechanism rotates the diaphragm supporting ring into the stopping-down direction in association with the rotation of the diaphragm value setting ring in a first angular range from a full open position of the diaphragm value setting ring to a predetermined intermediate diaphragm value thereof. A diaphragm data transmitting member, that is separate from the diaphragm value setting ring, transmits diaphragm value data to a camera body side. An associated mechanism that is provided between the diaphragm value setting ring and the diaphragm data transmitting member maintains the diaphragm data transmitting member to a predetermined position in the diaphragm range in which the diaphragm aperture changes, regardless of an angular position of the diaphragm value setting ring.

In an autofocus camera, at least one lens of a photographing lens system serves as a focus lens which is reciprocatively moved by a drive unit along a predetermined optical path. A detector detects a position of the focus lens in the lens system. On the basis of the detected position, a calculator calculates a correction amount of a spherical aberration of the lens system. A controller controls the drive unit on the basis of the calculated correction amount so as to cause the drive unit to move the focus lens to a position where the spherical aberration of the lens system is corrected.

A photographic camera has a camera body and an interchangeable lens assembly engagable with the camera body. A diaphragm having an adjustable diaphragm value in the lens assembly is adjusted upon shutter release. The diaphragm value is sensed in the lens assembly during adjustment and a first signal representative of the sensed diaphragm value is transmitted to the camera body. In the camera body the sensed diaphragm value is compared with a desired diaphragm value responsive to the first signal. Responsive to the comparison, adjustment of the diaphragm value is arrested to establish the desired diaphragm value. To sense the diaphragm value, a light transmission path is established between a light source and a light receiver. The light transmission path includes a first optical grating mounted on a movable diaphragm actuating member and a second optical grating mounted on a stationary member. The gratings each have alternating sections of the same width with different optical characteristics so adapted to intermittently transmit a light pulse to the receiver for each increment of movement of the movable member equal to the width of the sections. The light pulses are counted to produce an indication of the diaphragm value.

A camera has a camera body with a lens receiving mount, an interchangeable lens having a mount removably engageable with the camera body mount, and a plurality of information transmitting elements. The plurality of information transmitting elements comprise a light source in the camera body, light receivers in the camera body corresponding to the respective elements, optical fibers in the camera body corresponding to the respective elements for coupling light from the source to the lens receiving mount and from the lens receiving mount to the receivers, and light transmitters in the lens for returning light associated with the optical fibers of selected elements to the light receivers of the selected elements. The selected elements represent information transferred from the lens to the camera body.

In a camera, a shutter unit is mounted to a movable lens system for movement therewith along an optical axis. An annular member is arranged between the shutter unit and a camera body, for moving the shutter unit. A control signal from a control unit within the camera body is supplied to the shutter unit through a flexible element. The flexible element is turned back plurality of times within a space defined by the annular member so as to have at least two first and second turned-back portions spaced away from each other along the optical axis, whereby the flexible element has at least three sections including a first section extending between the shutter unit and the first turned-back portion, a second section extending between the first and second turned-back portions, and a third section extending between the second turned-back portion and the control unit. These sections overlap with each other in a direction normal to the optical axis.

An interchangeable objective with a variable lens aperture for a photographic camera has a stationary support member and a diaphragm-operating member that is rotatable about an axis between first and second angular positions relative to the stationary support member. A first spring-loaded locking pin is located in the stationary member in a first plane perpendicular to the axis. A second spring-loaded locking pin is located in the stationary member circumferentially spaced at an angle to the first pin about the axis and in a second plane perpendicular to the axis. The second plane is spaced from the first plane in the direction of the axis. As a result, the distance between locking pins is greater than the angular distance of rotation of the diaphragm-operating member between the end of the M-range and the A-position. A locking groove is formed in the diaphragm-operating member so as alternatively to receive the first and second spring-loaded pins in locking engagement when the diaphragm-operating member is positioned at the first and second angular positions, respectively. An unlocking button is mounted in the diaphragm-operating member over the locking groove to push the respective first and second pins out of engagement with the locking groove upon depression of the unlocking button.
摘要:
A camera body having a camera body and an interchangeable lens engageable with the camera body has an improved contact arrangement between camera body and lens. A lens mount has a first flat surface, a camera mount engages a lens mount to join the lens to the camera body, and the camera mount has a second flat surface abutting the first flat surface when the lens mount engages the camera mount. One or more first electrical contacts in the lens mount are movable normal to the first surface between a retracted position approximately flush with the first surface and an extended position projecting from the first surface. A spring urges the one or more first contacts toward the extended position. One or more stationary second electrical contacts in the camera mount open toward the second surface without protruding therefrom in alignment with the respective one or more first contacts when the lens mount engages the camera mount so the one or more first contacts normally bear against the respective one or more second contacts. A manually actuated device retracts the one or more first contacts into a position spaced from the respective one or more second contacts. The lens mount and the camera mount are electrically conductive so the manually actuated device connects and disconnects the one or more first contacts electrically to and from the lens mount to make and break electrical contact between the one or more second contacts and the mounts.
