The group, the second group, the third group, the fourth group, the still imaging lens group 32, and the right-angle prism 33 are equivalent in optical characteristics, and are equivalent to the imaging elements 12, 13, 14 of the television imaging system and the still imaging system. The same applies to the aberration of the image on the third image sensor 35. The filter member 15 of the television image pickup system 3
If the optical characteristics of the filter member 34 of the still image capturing system 3 are designed to be equal to each other, the aberrations of the two systems can be exactly matched.

Since the fifth lens group and the still imaging lens group 32 are configured so that the number of lenses, the lens shape, and the lens material are completely the same, the manufacturing process of the lens can be shared, and the manufacturing process can be reduced. In addition, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

It is possible to make the above image orientation coincide with the image orientation on the image sensor 35 of the still image imaging system 3. The television lens with a still photographing function of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various other modifications can be made. For example, the arrangement of the right-angle prism 33 and the filter member 34 is possible. The positions can be interchanged with each other.

When the reflection mirror is a total reflection mirror, as shown in FIG. 3, the total reflection mirror 131 is located at the position 131A on the optical path and the position 1 outside the optical path.
It is necessary to be configured to be able to move between the two positions with 31B. Thus, when the total reflection mirror 131 is disposed at the position 131A on the optical path, the total light flux is guided to the still image imaging system 3, and when the total reflection mirror 131 is disposed at the position 131B outside the optical path, the total light flux is transmitted. It will be led to the television image capturing system.

When the total reflection mirror 131 is inserted into the EXT group insertion space in the above-described embodiment, the position 131 outside the optical path of the total reflection mirror 131 is often used.
The operation of moving to B and the operation of inserting the EXT group into the space may be linked.

However, the right angle prism 33 has an image attitude inverted by the reflection mirrors 31 and 131 in the television lens system 2. When it is desired to form an image on the image sensor 35 or when the image information captured by the image sensor 35 is electrically inverted, the right-angle prism as shown in FIG. A glass block 133 in which the optical path length of the passing light flux is equal to 33 is provided.
The light beam may travel straight and pass through the glass block 133.

なものとすることができる。As described above, according to the television lens with the still photographing function of the present invention, the reflection mirror is inserted into the space between the lenses of the television lens attached to the television camera body, and the reflection mirror is deflected by this reflection mirror. Since the light beam is made to enter the still image pickup device, it is convenient that one television camera device can capture both a television image and a still image. In addition, by using a part of the lens unit of the TV image capturing system and the still image capturing system in common, the overall device can be made compact and inexpensive, and the still image capturing system can be replaced with the TV image capturing device. The quality of a still image can be improved by providing the image separately.

設けているため、スチル画像撮像系の光学特性をテレビ
画像撮像系と略同等なものとすることができ、両系の収
差を共に良好なものとすることが可能である。Further, a lens part having the same configuration as a lens part disposed downstream of the reflection mirror of the television image pickup system, which is not shared between the two systems, is provided in the still image pickup system, and Arranged in the body,
Since an optical block for providing a passing light beam with an optical path length substantially equal to the color separation prism of the television image capturing system is provided in the still image capturing system, the optical characteristics of the still image capturing system are substantially equivalent to those of the TV image capturing system. It is possible to make the aberrations of both systems favorable.
