Where preferable, the symbol f/ followed by the number value may be used, for example f/2,8. 3.2 Marking series 3.2.1 Standard series of f-number marking The standard series of f-number marking shall be as follows: 0,5 0,7 1 (or 1,0) 1,4 2

NOTE When f-numbers are marked on a lens, points may be used as decimal signs instead of commas. 3.2.2 Standard f-number series The standard f-number, or “whole stop” series shall be calculated according to the following formula: 2-number 2mf = where m = 2, 1,

DIN ISO 517:2009-05 53.2.3 f-number of the maximum relative aperture The f-number of the maximum relative aperture, that is the smallest f-number pertaining to the given lens, need not be selected from the standard series, but shall be followed by the series, beginning

EXAMPLE A 1:1,9 lens could be marked 1,9 2,8 4 5,6 8 etc., if it were believed that to mark it 1,9 2,0 2,8 4,0 5,6 etc., would confuse the markings at the 1,9 end of the scale. 3.2.4 Sub

18、ng errors are within the permissible tolerances. As examples, two of the methods most frequently used for measuring the entrance pupil and two methods for measuring the focal length are given in 5.2. NOTE These measurement methods are appropriate for lenses of focal lengths from 20 mm to 500 mm and

19、with apertures from 5 mm to 100 mm. For lenses outside this range, other methods might be appropriate. 5.2 Measurement methods 5.2.1 Effective entrance pupil 5.2.1.1 Method 1 for measuring the diameter of the effective pupil of a photographic lens 5.2.1.1.1 Principle Method 1 uses a direct measureme

20、nt of the entrance pupil diameter. 5.2.1.1.2 Apparatus 5.2.1.1.2.1 Travelling compound microscope, with means for shifting the microscope in a direction at right angles to its axis through a measured distance not less than the diameter of the effective entrance pupil to be measured. The microscope s

21、hall have a working distance sufficiently long to permit the microscope to be focused on the limiting opening of the photographic lens through its front element, and shall be fitted with a reticle. 5.2.1.1.2.2 Extended light source. 5.2.1.1.3 Procedure Mount the photographic lens, the effective entr

22、ance pupil of which is to be measured, with its axis parallel to the axis of the measuring microscope (5.2.1.1.2.1). Illuminate the lens using the extended light source (5.2.1.1.2.2) through its rear element and direct the front element of the lens towards the measuring microscope. Focus the microsc

23、ope upon the edge of the opening with the smallest apparent diameter. The microscope is then traversed. By measuring its displacement, determine the diameter of this opening, which is the effective entrance pupil. If the opening is not circular, the diameter of a circle with the same area as that of

24、 the actual entrance pupil shall be used. DIN ISO 517:2009-05 75.2.1.2 Method 2 for measuring the diameter of the effective entrance pupil of a photographic lens 5.2.1.2.1 Principle Method 2 uses the telecentric projection system method. 5.2.1.2.2 Apparatus 5.2.1.2.2.1 Telecentric projection system,

25、 (hereafter referred to as “projection system”) consisting of a projection lens; a telecentric aperture stop; a screen. The projection system shall be aligned as shown in Figure 2. 5.2.1.2.2.2 Extended light source. 5.2.1.2.3 Procedure 5.2.1.2.3.1 Place the lens under test between the extended light

26、 source (5.2.1.2.2.2) and the projection system (5.2.1.2.2.1). The image side of the lens shall face the extended light source, with the optical axis of the lens coinciding with that of the projection system. 5.2.1.2.3.2 Move the lens under test along the optical axis of the projection system so as

27、to obtain the sharpest image of the entrance pupil of the lens on the screen. Measure the area or diameter of the image. In doing this, the diameter of the telecentric aperture is adjusted so that the edge of the apertures image A (see Figure 2) is sharp enough for accurate measurement. Key 1 extend

29、) DIN ISO 517:2009-05 85.2.1.2.3.3 Calibrate the lateral magnification of the projection system in the following manner. Replace the lens by an object of known area or diameter, the shape and dimensions of which shall be approximately the same as those of the entrance pupil of the lens during normal

30、 use. Project the image of the known object on the screen and measure the projected area or diameter. In measuring the area or diameter of the known object, the diameter of the telecentric aperture stop shall be the same as in 5.2.1.2.3.2. Determine the magnification by taking the ratio of the dimen

31、sions of the image to those of the known object. 5.2.1.2.4 Diameter of the relative aperture Calculate this using the following equation: 21,13AdAmm= where d is the diameter, in millimetres, of the effective entrance pupil used to calculate the relative aperture; A is the area, in square millimetres

32、, of the image of the entrance pupil (see Figure 2); m is the magnification of the projection system. NOTE If the shape of the lens aperture is circular, or can be regarded as a circle, the diameter of the relative aperture can be obtained from the following equation: ddm= where d is the diameter, i

33、n millimetres, of the image of the entrance pupil. 5.2.2 Focal length 5.2.2.1 Method 1 for measuring the focal length of a photographic lens 5.2.2.1.1 Principle Method 1 for measuring the focal length of a photographic lens uses the formula given in 2.4. 5.2.2.1.2 Apparatus 5.2.2.1.2.1 Telescope fit

The telescope shall be able to pivot approximately around the centre of the first nodal point of the test lens by an amount equal to or greater than the angle (see 2.4 and Figure 3).

35、 The aberrations of the telescope shall be small enough to not affect the measured values. The diameter of the telescope shall be greater than that of the entrance pupil of the lens to be tested. 5.2.2.1.2.2 Extended monochromatic light source, of wavelength = 546 nm (green mercury line). 5.2.2.1.2.
