Description

  The present invention relates to a zoom lens, and more particularly to a high-magnification zoom lens corresponding to an electronic image sensor such as a CCD or a C-MOS.

As a zoom lens system in which the zoom ratio exceeds about 8 times and the total length of the lens is shortened, a positive first lens group, a negative second lens group, a positive third lens group, and a fourth lens are sequentially arranged from the object side. For example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 have proposed a lens group that changes magnification by moving all the lens groups.
Japanese Patent No. 3008380 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-5361

  The present invention has been made in view of such a situation in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a high-power zoom lens having a high retractable thickness and a high performance.

The first zoom lens of the present invention that achieves the above object, in order from the object side, is a first lens group having a positive refractive power, a second lens group having a negative refractive power, and a third lens group having a positive refractive power, A zoom lens having a four-group configuration including a fourth lens group,
The first lens group, the second lens group, the third lens group, and the fourth lens group move while changing each lens group interval for zooming operation from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end,
The second lens group is composed of three lenses,
Between the second lens group and the third lens group, there is an aperture stop arranged on the image side at the wide angle end rather than the telephoto end,
The following conditional expression is satisfied.

7 <(β _2T · β _3T · β _4W ) / (β _2W · β _3W · β _4T ) <15 (1)
7 <(β _2T · β _3T ) / (β _2W · β _3W ) <15 (2)
Where β _2T : magnification of the second lens group at the telephoto end,
β _3T : magnification of the third lens unit at the telephoto end,
β _4T : magnification of the fourth lens unit at the telephoto end,
β _2W : magnification of the second lens group at the wide-angle end,
β _3W : magnification of the third lens unit at the wide-angle end,
β _4W : magnification of the fourth lens unit at the wide angle end,

  Hereinafter, the reason and action of the above-described configuration in the first zoom lens of the present invention will be described.

  The first zoom lens has a positive first lens group, a negative second lens group, a positive third lens group, and a fourth lens group, and zooms with a method of changing the magnification by moving all the lens groups. It is a lens. In this case, if the second lens group is composed of three lenses, the space on the optical axis of the second lens group is reduced while maintaining the power to increase the zoom ratio, and the space for zooming. Can be secured.

  The second lens group and the third lens group have a main zooming action, and the fourth lens group mainly performs aberration correction.

  At this time, if both of the lower limits of conditional expressions (1) and (2) exceed 7, high zoom ratio cannot be achieved. If only the conditional expression (2) exceeds the lower limit, the magnification burden on the fourth lens group becomes large, the configuration becomes complicated to achieve high performance, and thinning becomes difficult. When the conditional expression (1) exceeds the upper limit of 15, the fourth lens group has a demagnifying action, cannot perform an effective zooming action, requires a moving space, and makes it difficult to reduce the thickness. If the conditional expression (2) exceeds the upper limit of 15, the zooming effect becomes large, a moving space is required, and thinning becomes difficult.

  In addition, an aperture stop is disposed between the second lens group and the third lens group, and the aperture stop is disposed on the image side at the wide-angle end rather than the telephoto end, and particularly in the third lens group. The lens diameter of the third lens group is made smaller by making the lens closer (advantageous in terms of body construction), and the principal ray is incident near the optical axis from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end. The three lens groups can be made thin and good imaging performance can be achieved.

The second zoom lens of the present invention includes, in order from the object side, a first lens group having a positive refractive power, a second lens group having a negative refractive power, a third lens group having a positive refractive power, and a fourth lens group.

If there are three or more first lens groups, the thickness of the first lens group on the optical axis cannot be reduced. Moreover, a diameter will also become large. In the present invention, it is possible to obtain a high image forming action at a high zoom ratio in combination with other constituent elements.

  In addition, when the second lens group is composed of three lenses, the power on the optical axis of the second lens group is reduced to secure a space for zooming while having power to increase the zoom ratio. can do.

  The second lens group and the third lens group have a main zooming action, and the fourth lens group mainly performs aberration correction.

  At this time, if the lower limit of 7 of the conditional expression (1) is exceeded, high zoom ratio cannot be achieved. When the conditional expression (1) exceeds the upper limit of 15, the fourth lens group has a demagnifying action, cannot perform an effective zooming action, requires a moving space, and makes it difficult to reduce the thickness.

It is a lens. In this case, if the second lens group is composed of three lenses, the space on the optical axis of the second lens group is reduced while maintaining the power to increase the zoom ratio, and the space for zooming. Can be secured.

  The second lens group and the third lens group have a main zooming action, and the fourth lens group mainly performs aberration correction.

  At this time, if the lower limit of 7 of the conditional expression (1) is exceeded, high zoom ratio cannot be achieved. When the conditional expression (1) exceeds the upper limit of 15, the fourth lens group has a demagnifying action, cannot perform an effective zooming action, requires a moving space, and makes it difficult to reduce the thickness.

Hereinafter, the reason and action of the above-described configuration in the 28th zoom lens of the present invention will be described. If the lower limit of −0.17 of the conditional expression (23) is exceeded, the zooming burden of the third lens unit becomes large. Thus, the amount of movement of the third lens group increases, and the lens unit becomes large. In addition, when the zooming load of the fourth lens group is increased, the aberration in the fourth lens group is increased and the performance is deteriorated. If the upper limit of 1.16 is exceeded, the power of the second lens group increases, the aberration increases, and the performance deteriorates. Alternatively, the amount of movement of the second lens group is increased, and the height of incident light at the wide-angle end is increased, leading to an increase in the lens diameter of the first lens group.

  Furthermore, the lower limit value of conditional expression (23) may be 0.84. Alternatively, the upper limit value may be 1.15.

  The 29th zoom lens of the present invention is characterized in that, in the 1st to 28th zoom lenses, the first lens group satisfies the following conditions.

0 <Σd _1g / L _t <0.09 (24)

L _t : The total lens length from the zoom lens entrance surface to the image plane at the telephoto end,

In the following, the reason and action of the 29th zoom lens of the present invention will be explained. When the Σd _1g becomes smaller than the lower limit of conditional expression (24) and Σd _1g becomes smaller, the miniaturization is maintained. However, it becomes difficult to perform zooming in the back group. Or, it becomes difficult to secure the edge of the lens. Further, when the upper limit of 0.09 of the conditional expression (24) is exceeded and Σd _1g becomes larger than the conditional expression, the collapsed thickness increases.

  Furthermore, the lower limit value of conditional expression (24) may be set to 0.06.

  The 30th zoom lens of the present invention is characterized in that, in the 1st to 29th zoom lenses, the first lens group satisfies the following conditions.

0 <Σd _1g / f _t <0.11 (25)
Where Σd _1g is the thickness on the optical axis from the lens surface closest to the object side of the first lens group to the lens surface closest to the image side of the first lens group,
f _t : focal length of the entire zoom lens system at the telephoto end,
It is.

Hereinafter, the reason and action of the above-described configuration in the thirtieth zoom lens of the present invention will be described. When Σd _1g becomes smaller than the lower limit of 0 in the conditional expression (25), the rear side is maintained while reducing the size.

In addition, correction in image processing also increases processing time and makes correction difficult. If it is larger than the upper limit of −10.1, the amount of chromatic aberration generated in the first lens group becomes large, and the performance deteriorates.

  Furthermore, the upper limit value of conditional expression (27) may be set to −10.3.

However, in FIGS. 25 and 27, the photographing optical system 41 is not retracted. In this example, the digital camera 40 includes a photographing optical system 41 having a photographing optical path 42, a finder optical system 43 having a finder optical path 44, a shutter button 45, a flash 46, a liquid crystal display monitor 47, a focal length change button 61, When the photographing optical system 41 is retracted, including the setting change switch 62, the photographing optical system 41, the finder optical system 43, and the flash 46 are covered with the cover 60 by sliding the cover 60. When the cover 60 is opened and the camera 40 is set to the photographing state, the photographing optical system 41 enters the non-collapsed state shown in FIG. 27. When the shutter button 45 disposed on the upper part of the camera 40 is pressed, the photographing is performed in conjunction therewith. Photographing is performed through the optical system 41, for example, the zoom lens of the first embodiment. An object image formed by the photographic optical system 41 is formed on the imaging surface of the CCD 49 via the low-pass filter F and the cover glass C subjected to IR cut coating. The object image received by the CCD 49 is displayed as an electronic image on the liquid crystal display monitor 47 provided on the back of the camera via the processing means 51. Further, the processing means 51 is connected to a recording means 52 so that a photographed electronic image can be recorded. The recording means 52 may be provided separately from the processing means 51, or may be configured to perform recording / writing electronically using a floppy disk, memory card, MO, or the like. Further, it may be configured as a silver salt camera in which a silver salt film is arranged in place of the CCD 49.

  Further, a finder objective optical system 53 is disposed on the finder optical path 44. The finder objective optical system 53 includes a plurality of lens groups (three groups in the figure) and two prisms, and includes a zoom optical system whose focal length changes in conjunction with the zoom lens of the photographing optical system 41. The object image formed by the finder objective optical system 53 is formed on the field frame 57 of the erecting prism 55 that is an image erecting member. Behind the erecting prism 55, an eyepiece optical system 59 for guiding the erect image to the observer eyeball E is disposed. A cover member 50 is disposed on the exit side of the eyepiece optical system 59.

  The digital camera 40 configured in this manner has a high performance because the imaging optical system 41 is extremely thin when retracted and the imaging performance is extremely stable in the entire zoom range with high zoom ratio. -Miniaturization can be realized.
