OBJECTIVE LENS FOR A PHOTOGRAPHY OR FILM CAMERA AND METHOD FOR SELECTIVE DAMPING OF SPECIFIC SPATIAL FREQUENCY RANGES OF THE MODULATION TRANSFER FUNCTION OF SUCH AN OBJECTIVE LENS

摘要

A lens for a still or film camera includes a first and second lens-element arrangement, and a wavefront manipulator. The first and second lens-element arrangement are arranged spaced mutually apart along an optical axis of the lens such that an interstice is present therebetween. The wavefront manipulator is situated in the interstice and includes at least two optical components which are arranged so as to be displaceable counter to one another, perpendicular to the optical axis, and which each include a free-form surface. The wavefront manipulator has a zero position, in which the optical components thereof do not cause any image aberrations in the imaging properties of the lens, and effective positions, in which the optical components are displaced counter to one another, out of the zero position perpendicular to the optical axis, and in which the optical components cause a spherical aberration in the imaging properties of the lens.
