ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a device for correcting and compensating variations of the back focal length caused by temperature changes in a photographic lens system which incorporates at least one lens component made of a plastic material. The device includes a lens drive which axially moves the lens system to obtain a fully focused image of an object to be photographed, and a temperature sensor which senses surrounding temperature conditions and produces output signals representing the sensed temperature condition. A lens control is also provided in the device, and functions in response to the output signals from the temperature sensor to control the lens drive in a manner to compensates any temperature-related variation of the back focal length of the lens system.
