Further, an antireflection film having a high transmittance in a wide wavelength range may be applied to the lens surface of the lens constituting the variable magnification optical system of the present application. Thereby, flare and ghost can be reduced, and high optical performance with high contrast can be achieved.

In the variable power optical system of the present application, it is preferable that the second lens group has two positive lens components, or two positive lens components and one negative lens component. In the latter case, it is preferable that the second lens group arranges these lens components in the order of negative positive / negative from the object side with an air gap interposed therebetween.

This camera 1 is a digital single-lens reflex camera provided with the variable magnification optical system according to the first embodiment as the photographing lens 2 as shown in FIG.
In the camera 1, light from an object (subject) (not shown) is collected by the taking lens 2 and imaged on the focusing screen 4 through the quick return mirror 3. The light imaged on the focusing screen 4 is reflected in the pentaprism 5 a plurality of times and guided to the eyepiece lens 6. Thus, the photographer can observe the subject image as an erect image through the eyepiece 6.

When the release button (not shown) is pressed by the photographer, the quick return mirror 3 is retracted out of the optical path, and light from the subject (not shown) reaches the image sensor 7. Thereby, the light from the subject is picked up by the image pickup device 7 and recorded as a subject image in a memory (not shown). In this way, the photographer can shoot the subject with the camera 1.
With the above configuration, the present camera 1 equipped with the variable magnification optical system according to the first embodiment as the photographing lens 2 has a lens that shifts so as to include a component in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis, and has a high variable magnification. Ratio and good optical performance can be realized. Even if a camera equipped with the variable magnification optical system according to the second to fourth embodiments as the photographing lens 2 is configured, the same effect as the camera 1 can be obtained.
