Abstract
A wide-angle optical system includes a pair of front side lens units, an optical member, and a pair of rear side lens units. Each of the pair of front side lens units has a negative refractive power. The optical member has a pair of inclined surfaces and a bottom surface, and the pair of inclined surfaces is disposed such that a line of intersection is formed on an object side. Each of the pair of rear side lens units includes a positive lens, and in the pair of rear side lens units, two axes of rotational symmetry are parallel. With respect to two light rays, intersection and reflection occur at the optical member, and the intersection and the reflection occur after the two light rays are transmitted through the pair of inclined surfaces and before two light rays are transmitted through the bottom surface.
