  However, in the techniques described in Patent Document 1 to Patent Document 3 described above, when the magnification is increased, the front lens and the prism become very large, which is not suitable for downsizing, in particular, thinning. Since the aberration variation is large and the productivity is poor and it is not suitable for high magnification, it is very difficult to achieve both reduction in size and high magnification.

And a variable power second lens group having a negative refractive power in which a sixth lens having a negative refractive power is arranged.

  Accordingly, in the zoom lens of the present invention, the lens thickness in the optical axis direction is shortened as much as possible by arranging the first lens having a negative refractive power and the right-angle prism in the first lens group. Furthermore, the negative refractive power of the second lens group is strengthened, and the entrance pupil position of the entire lens system is brought closer to the object plane side, so that the size of the prism is reduced and the thickness in the optical axis direction is reduced. . Further, by making the configuration of the second lens group negative, negative, positive or negative, it is possible to suppress aberration fluctuations during zooming, and to achieve miniaturization and high magnification at the same time. The image pickup apparatus of the present invention can be reduced in size, particularly thin, and can take an image at a high magnification by using the zoom lens described above.

  In the invention described in claims 2 and 34, fGR2 is the focal length of the second lens group, fT is the focal length at the tele end of the entire lens system, and dZ is the first lens group and the first lens group at the tele end. Since the air space between the two lens groups satisfies at least one of the conditional expressions (1) 0.10 <| fGR2 / fT | <0.24 and (2) 0.20 <dZ / fT <0.45, the spherical aberration and the screen edge It is possible to achieve miniaturization and high magnification by reducing the amount of movement of the variator and reducing the size of the first lens group while satisfactorily correcting the coma aberration at the portion.

  In the invention described in claims 3 and 4, and 35 and 36, NdL1 is a refractive index of the first lens at the d-line, VdL1 is an Abbe number of the first lens at the d-line, Since NdP is the refractive index at the d-line of a right-angle prism, the conditional expressions (3) NdL1> 1.75, (4) VdL1 <35 and (5) NdP> 1.80 are satisfied. By reducing the amount of generation, making chromatic aberration correction effective, and reducing the front lens (first lens), it is easy to achieve miniaturization and high magnification.

  In the invention described in claim 5 to claim 8 and claim 37 to claim 40, the first lens group is fixed during zooming, so that the mechanism for driving the variator during zooming is used. Miniaturization can be achieved without imposing a heavy burden.

Thus, zooming can be performed, so that it is possible to provide a small zoom lens while satisfactorily correcting aberration fluctuations during zooming even at a high magnification.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  First, the zoom lens of the present invention will be described.

  The zoom lens according to the present invention includes a plurality of groups and performs zooming by changing the group interval. In order from the object side, a first lens G1 having a negative refractive power and a right angle for bending the optical path. A first lens group GR1 having a positive refractive power in which at least one second lens G3 having a positive refractive power is arranged, and a third lens G4 having a negative refractive power in order from the object side. A second variable power system having a negative refractive power, in which a fourth lens G5 having a negative refractive power, a fifth lens G6 having a positive refractive power, and a sixth lens G7 having a negative refractive power are arranged. And a lens group GR2.

  In the zoom lens according to the present invention, the lens thickness in the optical axis direction is not limited by arranging the first lens G1 having a negative refractive power and the right-angle prism G2 in the first lens group GR1. By shortening and further increasing the negative refractive power of the second lens group GR2, and bringing the entrance pupil position of the entire lens system closer to the object plane side, the size of the right-angle prism G2 is reduced, and the optical axis direction is thin. Has been achieved. In addition, by making the configuration of the second lens group GR2 negative / positive / negative, it is possible to suppress aberration fluctuations during zooming, and to simultaneously achieve miniaturization and high magnification.

  The zoom lens according to the present invention preferably satisfies any one of the following conditional expressions (1) and (2).

0.10 <| fGR2 / fT | <0.24 (1)
0.20 <dZ / fT <0.45 (2)
However,
fGR2: Focal length of the second lens group,
fT: Focal length at the tele end of the entire lens system,
dZ: The air distance between the first lens group and the second lens group at the telephoto end.

  Conditional expression (1) defines the ratio between the focal length of the second lens group GR2 having negative refractive power and the focal length of the tele end in the entire lens system. That is, if the value of | fGR2 / fT | is 0.10 or less, the negative power of the second lens group GR2 becomes too strong, and it becomes difficult to correct spherical aberration and coma at the screen periphery. If the value of | fGR2 / fT | is 0.24 or more, the power of the second lens group GR2 is weakened, and the amount of movement of the variator increases, making it difficult to reduce the size and increase the magnification of the zoom lens.

  Conditional expression (2) defines the ratio between the air gap between the first lens group GR1 and the second lens group GR2 at the telephoto end and the focal length of the telephoto end in the entire lens system. That is, if the value of dZ / fT is 0.20 or less, the negative power of the second lens group GR2 becomes too strong, and it becomes difficult to correct spherical aberration and coma aberration at the screen periphery. If the value of dZ / fT is 0.45 or more, the air gap between the first lens group GR1 and the second lens group GR2 at the tele end becomes too long, and the position of the entrance pupil at the tele end becomes long. As a result, since the size of the first lens group GR1 is increased, it is difficult to reduce the size of the zoom lens.

  In the zoom lens of the present invention, it is preferable that both the conditional expressions (1) and (2) are satisfied in order to further promote downsizing and higher magnification.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the zoom lens according to the present invention satisfies the following conditional expressions (3), (4), and (5).

NdL1> 1.75 (3)
VdL1 <35 (4)
NdP> 1.80 (5)
However,
NdL1: Refractive index at the d-line of the first lens,
VdL1: Abbe number at the d-line of the first lens,
NdP: Refractive index at the d-line of a right-angle prism,
And

  The conditional expression (3) is for defining the amount of distortion aberration generated by the first lens G1, which is a single lens having negative refractive power, constituting the first lens group GR1 having positive refractive power. . That is, when the value of NdL1 is outside the range defined by the conditional expression (3), the amount of distortion generated with respect to the required refractive power of the first lens group GR1 increases, resulting in a reduction in size and height. The magnification cannot be achieved.

  Conditional expression (4) is for defining the amount of chromatic aberration generated by the first lens G1, which is a single lens having negative refractive power, constituting the first lens group GR1 having positive refractive power. . That is, when the value of VdL1 is out of the range defined by the conditional expression (4), the amount of chromatic aberration generated in the first lens group GR1 having positive refractive power increases, and correcting this is a lens system. Overall it becomes difficult.

  Conditional expression (5) defines the refractive index of the prism, and is preferably configured to satisfy conditional expression (3). The higher the refractive index of the prism, the more advantageous for downsizing and higher magnification. Become.

  Further, it is desirable that the first lens group GR1 is fixed with respect to the image plane at the time of zooming. This is because the weight of the right-angle prism G2 that bends the optical path is large, so that a large burden is placed on the drive mechanism during the fluctuation.

  The fourth lens G5 having negative refractive power and the fifth lens G6 having positive refractive power in the second lens group GR2 have negative refractive power or the fifth lens G6 having positive refractive power. It is preferable that the sixth lens G7 is cemented. As a result, the chromatic aberration is effectively corrected, the axial displacement between the lenses to be joined is prevented, and the assembly to the lens barrel is facilitated. However, it is not preferable that two or more cemented lenses exist simultaneously in the second lens group GR2.

  By constituting at least one of the surfaces of the lens constituting the first lens group GR1 of the zoom lens of the present invention with an aspherical surface, it becomes easy to correct various aberrations including distortion. In addition, the object-side surface s1 of the first lens G1 is preferably convex toward the object side. This is because if the surface s1 is concave toward the object side, negative distortion generated on the concave surface s1 becomes large, and it is difficult to correct this with the entire lens system.

  On the image plane side of the second lens group GR2, in order from the object side to the image plane side, a third lens group GR3 having positive refractive power, a fourth lens group GR4 having positive refractive power, and a negative The fifth lens group GR5 having refractive power is arranged, and zooming is performed by moving the second lens group GR2 and the fourth lens group GR4. It can be a zoom lens. In this case, at least one surface among the surfaces of the lenses constituting the third lens group GR3 is constituted by an aspheric surface, in particular, at least one surface of the lens (G8) located closest to the object side. Is preferably constituted by an aspherical surface. This is because, if there is no aspherical surface among the surfaces of the lenses constituting the third lens group GR3, the spherical aberration at the wide end becomes large, and it is difficult to correct the entire lens. is there.
