  The wide-angle lens of Patent Document 1 has a long back focus with respect to the entire length of the optical system, or a focal length at the wide-angle end with respect to the focal length of the first lens group. Therefore, in the wide-angle lens of Patent Document 1, it is difficult to sufficiently reduce the size of the optical system.

  Further, in the wide-angle lens of Patent Document 2, the F number is not sufficiently small, or the angle of view cannot be sufficiently widened compared to the F number. Further, the focal length at the wide angle end is longer than the focal length of the first lens group.

  Prior to the description of the examples, effects of the embodiment according to an aspect of the present invention will be described. It should be noted that, when the operational effects of the present embodiment are specifically described, a specific example will be shown and described. However, as in the case of the embodiments to be described later, those exemplified aspects are only a part of the aspects included in the present invention, and there are many variations in the aspects. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment.

  The zoom lens according to this embodiment will be described. First, the basic configuration will be described.

  In the basic configuration of the zoom lens of the present embodiment, the zoom lens includes, in order from the object side to the image side, a front group having a negative refractive power, and a rear group including an aperture stop and having a positive refractive power, The front group includes a first lens having a negative refractive power, a second lens having a negative refractive power, and a third lens having a positive refractive power, and the first lens is the most object And the shape is a meniscus shape with a convex surface facing the object side, the second lens is disposed closer to the image side than the first lens, and the shape faces the convex surface toward the object side The rear group has a first lens unit and a second lens unit in order from the object side to the image side, and in zooming from the wide angle end to the telephoto end, The distance from the rear group becomes narrower, and the first lens unit and the second lens unit Interval changes, the first lens unit has a focusing lens group having a positive refractive power on the object side of the aperture stop, upon focusing, only the focus lens group moves along the optical axis.

  In the basic configuration, the zoom lens includes, in order from the object side to the image side, a front group that has a negative refractive power and a rear group that includes an aperture stop and has a positive refractive power. Thereby, the configuration of the optical system can be a retrofocus type configuration. As a result, it is easy to ensure a back focus with an appropriate length while having an ultra-wide angle of view. Here, the ultra-wide field angle is, for example, a field angle of 105 ° or more, and more preferably a field angle of 110 ° or more.

  In the basic configuration, the front group includes a first lens having a negative refractive power, a second lens having a negative refractive power, and a third lens having a positive refractive power, The first lens is disposed closest to the object side, and the shape thereof is a meniscus shape having a convex surface directed toward the object side, the second lens is disposed closer to the image side than the first lens, and the shape is It has a meniscus shape with a convex surface facing the object side.

  As described above, the front group has a negative refractive power. Therefore, when the negative refractive power of the front group is increased, the diameter of the optical system can be reduced. However, the amount of curvature of field and astigmatism tends to increase as the height of the off-axis principal ray increases. Here, in the ultra-wide field angle optical system, the height of the off-axis principal ray is highest when passing through the front group. Therefore, if the negative refractive power of the front group is increased, the amount of field curvature and astigmatism is likely to increase when the field angle is set to an ultra-wide field angle.

  Therefore, a first lens having a negative refractive power and a second lens having a negative refractive power are arranged in the front group. The first lens is arranged on the most object side of the front group, and the shape of the first lens is a meniscus shape having a convex surface facing the object side. In addition, the second lens is disposed on the image side of the first lens, and the shape of the second lens is a meniscus shape having a convex surface facing the object side.

  As a result, two meniscus lenses having a concave surface facing the aperture stop are disposed in the front group where the height of the off-axis principal ray is highest. By doing so, off-axis rays can be gradually refracted while increasing the negative refractive power in the front group. That is, rapid refraction of light rays can be suppressed. As a result, it is possible to make the angle of view an ultra-wide angle of view while reducing the amount of curvature of field and astigmatism.

  Furthermore, a third lens having a positive refractive power is arranged in the front group. By doing in this way, generation | occurrence | production of an axial chromatic aberration and a magnification chromatic aberration can be suppressed. In addition, the amount of spherical aberration generated near the telephoto end can be reduced.

  Further, when zooming from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, the distance between the front group and the rear group becomes narrow. By doing so, a large zooming effect can be obtained. The interval between the front group and the rear group is a paraxial interval.

  The rear group includes a first lens unit and a second lens unit in order from the object side to the image side. Then, when zooming from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, the distance between the first lens unit and the second lens unit changes. The interval between the first lens unit and the second lens unit is a paraxial interval.

  As described above, in the basic configuration, the configuration of the optical system is a retrofocus type configuration. In the retrofocus type configuration, in order to further reduce the diameter of the optical system, it is necessary to increase the negative refractive power of the front group. In particular, in an ultra-wide angle zoom lens, for example, in order to shorten the overall length of the optical system while ensuring a zoom ratio of 1.9 times or more, not only the front group but also the rear group has a large refractive power. There is a need to.

  Here, if the negative refractive power of the front group is increased too much, a large positive field curvature occurs in the front group, and off-axis aberrations, particularly astigmatism, tend to fluctuate during zooming. Therefore, it is necessary to correct aberrations well in the rear group in order to reduce the generation amount of aberrations and suppress fluctuations in aberrations while maintaining downsizing of the optical system.

  For this reason, the rear group includes a first lens unit and a second lens unit in order from the object side to the image side. Thereby, the aberration in the rear group can be corrected satisfactorily. Further, astigmatism fluctuations can be reduced during zooming.

  Then, when zooming from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, the distance between the first lens unit and the second lens unit changes. Thereby, the fluctuation of aberration can be reduced at the time of zooming.

  In addition, it is preferable to arrange a positive lens in both the first lens unit and the second lens unit to increase the refractive power of the positive lens. By doing in this way, the generation amount of field curvature can be reduced.

  Further, the first lens unit has a focus lens group having a positive refractive power on the object side of the aperture stop, and only the focus lens group moves on the optical axis during focusing.

  In the first lens unit, when a focus lens group having a positive refractive power is disposed closer to the object side than the aperture stop, the focus lens group is positioned near the aperture stop near the wide-angle end. Here, the light beam diameter is small in the vicinity of the aperture stop. Therefore, the focus lens group can be arranged at a position where the lens diameter is smaller in the rear group. As a result, the diameter of the focus lens group can be reduced.

  In focusing, only the focus lens group moves along the optical axis. In this way, there is no lens group that moves during focusing on the image side of the aperture stop. Therefore, it is not necessary to secure a predetermined space on the image side from the aperture stop. As a result, it is possible to reduce the diameter of the lens group located on the image side of the aperture stop. The predetermined space is a space necessary for the lens group to move during focusing.

  In addition, it is possible to shoot a wider range with an optical system having an ultra-wide angle of view. In such an optical system, fluctuations in the field curvature that occur during focusing become a major factor that deteriorates the imaging performance. In particular, the fluctuation of the curvature of field on the meridional surface is a factor that greatly deteriorates the imaging performance when focusing on a short-distance object.

  The front group generates a large curvature of field on the meridional surface. Therefore, during focusing, if the height of the peripheral ray passing through the front group fluctuates, the variation in field curvature on the meridional surface also increases. In particular, when focusing on a short-distance object, the height of peripheral rays passing through the front group varies greatly.

  Therefore, the focus lens group is disposed on the object side from the aperture stop. In this way, the focus lens group is positioned closer to the image side than the front group. Here, the height of the peripheral ray is lower on the image side than the front group compared to the front group. Therefore, in the focus lens group, the height of the peripheral rays is reduced.

  In this case, even if the focus lens group moves, fluctuations in the height of the peripheral rays passing through the front group can be reduced. Thereby, the fluctuation | variation of the curvature of field in a meridional surface can also be suppressed. As a result, the imaging performance of the optical system can be kept high even when focusing on a short-distance object.

  The focus sensitivity is affected by the magnification of the focus lens group and the magnification of a predetermined lens group. Here, the predetermined lens group is a lens group located between the image side surface and the image plane of the focus lens group. Therefore, the focus sensitivity can be increased by disposing the focus lens group on the object side of the aperture stop and appropriately setting the magnification of the predetermined lens group. As a result, the amount of movement of the focus lens group can be reduced.

  In addition, since the amount of movement of the focus lens group can be reduced, fluctuations in the height of the peripheral rays in the front group can be reduced during focusing. For this reason, it is possible to suppress the variation in curvature of field on the meridional surface. As a result, the imaging performance of the optical system can be maintained high even when focusing on a short-distance object.

  As a result, good optical performance can be maintained during focusing on a short-distance object. In addition, the focus lens group can be reduced in size and weight. As a result, the focus speed can be increased, and the drive mechanism of the focus lens group can be reduced in weight and space.

  Note that the amount of separation between the axial ray and the peripheral ray is small near the aperture stop. Therefore, it is preferable to arrange the focus lens group near the aperture stop. At this position, the beam diameter of the axial beam is large. When the beam diameter of the axial beam is large, the magnification of the focus lens group can be increased more effectively.

  As described above, when the focus lens group is disposed near the aperture stop, it is possible to focus at a place where the magnification of the focus lens group can be increased more effectively, that is, a place where the axial light beam is thick. Therefore, by focusing at this position, it is possible to reduce the fluctuation in the height of the peripheral rays in the front group while increasing the sensitivity of the focus.

  Next, the preferable aspect in this embodiment is demonstrated.

In addition, since the lower limit value of conditional expression (1) is not reached, a wide degree of freedom in selecting the glass material can be secured.

  By exceeding the lower limit value of conditional expression (2), the back focus at the wide angle end can be shortened. As a result, the optical system can be reduced in size. In addition, since the refractive power of the front group can be suppressed from becoming too large, the amount of field curvature and astigmatism can be reduced.

  Moreover, the refractive power of a front group can be set appropriately by falling below the upper limit of conditional expression (2). As a result, the diameter of the optical system can be reduced.

FB _w is the back focus at the wide-angle end,
f _F is the focal length of the front group,
f _w is the focal length of the entire zoom lens system at the wide-angle end,
Fno _wmin is the smallest F number at the wide-angle end,
It is.

  Since the technical significance of conditional expression (1) has been described above, a description thereof will be omitted.

  The technical significance of conditional expression (2-1) is the same as the technical significance of conditional expression (2). Note that the refractive power of the rear group can be increased by exceeding the lower limit value of the conditional expression (2-1). Therefore, the overall length of the optical system can be shortened. Moreover, the refractive power of a front group can be enlarged by being less than the upper limit of conditional expression (2-1). Therefore, the diameter of the optical system can be reduced.

  Further, the technical significance of conditional expression (3-1) is the same as the technical significance of conditional expression (3), so the description thereof is omitted.

The zoom lens according to the fourth embodiment preferably includes the above-described basic configuration and satisfies the following conditional expressions (1) and (4).
72 <νd _Fnmax <110 (1)

f _Rw is the focal length of the rear group at the wide angle end,
FB _w is the back focus at the wide-angle end,
It is.

  Since the technical significance of conditional expression (1) has been described above, a description thereof will be omitted.

  By exceeding the lower limit value of the conditional expression (4), it is possible to reduce the generation amount of spherical aberration and longitudinal chromatic aberration while appropriately ensuring the refractive power of the rear group at the wide angle end. In addition, since the back focus at the wide-angle end can be shortened, the overall length of the optical system can be shortened. Furthermore, since the refractive power of the front group can be increased, the diameter of the optical system can be reduced.

  Further, by falling below the upper limit value of the conditional expression (4), it is possible to shorten the overall length of the optical system while appropriately securing the refractive power of the rear group. Further, by increasing the positive refractive power of the rear group, the amount of occurrence of field curvature can be reduced.

  A preferable aspect of the zoom lens according to the first to fourth embodiments will be described. In the following description, the zoom lenses of the first to fourth embodiments are simply referred to as “zoom lenses of this embodiment”.

  In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, it is preferable that the front group further includes a fourth lens having a negative refractive power.

  By doing so, it is possible to satisfactorily correct the spherical aberration in the front group, and to suppress the variation of the spherical aberration at the time of zooming. As a result, good optical performance can be obtained over the entire zoom range. In addition, the refractive power of the front group can be increased while suppressing the occurrence of field curvature, astigmatism, and lateral chromatic aberration. As a result, since the entrance pupil is located closer to the object side, the diameter of the front group can be reduced. The front group may further include a lens having negative refractive power. By doing in this way, the above-mentioned effect can be enlarged more.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the lens having negative refractive power is disposed in the vicinity of the lens having positive refractive power. For example, the fourth lens is preferably arranged in the vicinity of the third lens. By doing in this way, the above-mentioned effect can be enlarged more.

  In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, the front group further includes a fourth lens having negative refractive power, and the shape of the fourth lens is preferably a meniscus shape.

  By doing so, three meniscus lenses are arranged in the front group. In this case, the light beam incident on the front group with an ultra-wide angle of view can be gradually refracted by the three meniscus lenses. Each meniscus lens can gradually refract the light while keeping the angle of the light incident on the lens small. For this reason, in each meniscus lens, the occurrence of curvature of field, astigmatism, and lateral chromatic aberration can be suppressed. The front group may further include a negative meniscus lens. By doing in this way, the above-mentioned effect can be enlarged more.

  In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, the front group further includes a fourth lens having a negative refractive power, and the shape of the fourth lens may be a meniscus shape having a convex surface facing the object side. preferable.

  By doing so, a negative meniscus lens is arranged in the front group in addition to the first lens and the second lens. Here, all of the three negative meniscus lenses have a convex surface on the object side, that is, a concave surface on the image side. In this case, rapid refraction of light rays can be suppressed while further increasing the negative refractive power of the front group. Therefore, the amount of curvature of field and astigmatism can be reduced. As a result, it becomes easy to further widen the angle of view and reduce the diameter of the optical system. The front group may further include a negative meniscus lens having a convex surface facing the object side. By doing in this way, the above-mentioned effect can be enlarged more.

  In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, it is preferable that the fourth lens is disposed closer to the image side than the second lens.

  Thereby, the refractive power of the front group can be increased while reducing the amount of occurrence of field curvature, astigmatism, and lateral chromatic aberration. Further, since the entrance pupil is located closer to the object side, the diameter of the front group can be reduced.

In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, it is preferable that the following conditional expression (5) is satisfied.
1.1 <| r _F1i / f _F | <3 (5)
here,
r _F1i is the paraxial radius of curvature of the image side of the first lens,
f _F is the focal length of the front group,
It is.

  By exceeding the lower limit value of conditional expression (5), it is possible to suppress the refractive power of the first lens from becoming too large. As a result, the amount of curvature of field, astigmatism, and distortion can be reduced. Moreover, since the total thickness of the front group can be reduced, the overall length of the optical system can be shortened.

  By falling below the upper limit value of conditional expression (5), the refractive power of the first lens is increased. In this case, since the lens diameter in the front group becomes small, the optical system can be miniaturized. In addition, the refractive power of the front group can be increased while reducing the amount of curvature of field and astigmatism.

In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, it is preferable that the following conditional expression (6) is satisfied.
0.53 <θgF _Fn <0.55 (6)
here,
θgF _Fn is a partial dispersion ratio in the lens having the largest Abbe number among the lenses having negative refractive power included in the front group, and θgF _Fn = (ng−nF) / (nF−nc). Represented,
ng, nF, and nc are the refractive indexes of the g-line, F-line, and C-line of the lens having the largest Abbe number,
It is.

  By satisfying conditional expression (6), it is possible to suppress the occurrence of lateral chromatic aberration in the front group while ensuring a wide degree of freedom in selecting the glass material used in the front group.

In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, it is preferable that the following conditional expression (7) is satisfied.
0.01 <θgF _Fn + 0.0016 × νd−0.6415 <0.054 (7)
here,
θgF _Fn is a partial dispersion ratio in the lens having the largest Abbe number among the lenses having negative refractive power included in the front group, and θgF _Fn = (ng−nF) / (nF−nc). Represented,
ng, nF, and nc are the refractive indexes of the g-line, F-line, and C-line of the lens having the largest Abbe number,
νd is the Abbe number of the lens with the largest Abbe number value,
It is.

  In the front group, a plurality of lenses having negative refractive power are mainly used to suppress the occurrence of field curvature and astigmatism. However, axial chromatic aberration, lateral chromatic aberration, and spherical aberration may be mainly generated by a lens having negative refractive power. Therefore, by arranging a lens having a positive refractive power in the front group, it becomes easy to reduce the amount of occurrence of these aberrations. As a result, it is easy to ensure high optical performance.

  Here, in order to satisfactorily correct the chromatic aberration while increasing the negative refractive power of the front group, it is preferable that the dispersion of the lens having the positive refractive power is high dispersion. However, if the dispersion of a lens having a positive refractive power is high, a secondary spectrum may be greatly generated. Therefore, it is effective for correction of chromatic aberration to use a glass material having a characteristic capable of reducing the generation amount of the secondary spectrum for the lens having negative refractive power in the front group.

  By exceeding the lower limit value of conditional expression (7), it is possible to reduce the amount of secondary spectrum generated in the front group. As a result, the amount of axial chromatic aberration and lateral chromatic aberration generated can be reduced.

  By falling below the upper limit value of conditional expression (7), it is possible to suppress the amount of secondary spectrum generated in the front group from being overcorrected. As a result, it is possible to balance axial chromatic aberration and lateral chromatic aberration.

In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, it is preferable that the following conditional expression (8) is satisfied.
0.06 <FB _w / LTL _w <0.20 (8)
here,
FB _w is the back focus at the wide-angle end,
LTL _w is the axial distance from the most object-side surface of the zoom lens to the image plane at the wide-angle end.

  By exceeding the lower limit value of conditional expression (8), the total length of the optical system can be shortened with respect to the back focus at the wide-angle end. As a result, the overall length of the optical system can be shortened. The on-axis distance is a paraxial distance.

  By falling below the upper limit value of conditional expression (8), the back focus can be shortened with respect to the entire length of the optical system at the wide-angle end. As a result, the overall length of the optical system can be shortened. In addition, when an optical element is arranged in the optical system, a sufficient space for arranging the optical element can be secured. Therefore, it becomes easy to ensure high optical performance over the entire zoom range.

In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, it is preferable that the following conditional expression (9) is satisfied.
1.9 <SP _F1 <9.0 (9)
here,
SP _F1 = (r _F1o + r _F1i ) / (r _F1o -r _F1i )
r _F1o is the paraxial radius of curvature of the object side of the first lens,
r _F1i is the paraxial radius of curvature of the image side of the first lens,
It is.

  By exceeding the lower limit value of conditional expression (9), it is possible to prevent the curvature difference between the object side surface and the image side surface from becoming too large in the first lens. As a result, the amount of astigmatism generated can be reduced.

  By falling below the upper limit value of conditional expression (9), it is possible to suppress the difference in curvature between the object side surface and the image side surface from becoming too small in the first lens. In this case, since the refractive power of an appropriate magnitude can be secured in the first lens, the height of the light beam incident on the rear group can be reduced. As a result, the lens diameter of the rear group can be reduced. In addition, since the negative refractive power of the front group can be reduced to some extent, the top of the object side surface can be prevented from being positioned on the object side. As a result, it is possible to shorten the overall length of the optical system and reduce the diameter of the optical system.

In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, at least one of the meniscus lenses in the front group having a convex surface facing the object side satisfies the following conditional expression (10). It preferably has a spherical surface.
30 ° <ASP _Rθ <70 ° (10)
here,
ASP _Rθ is the inclination of the surface at a predetermined position on the image side surface of at least one lens,
The predetermined position is a position where the effective aperture is maximum in at least one lens,
The inclination of the surface is the angle at which the tangent to the surface and the optical axis at a given position
It is.

  By exceeding the lower limit value of conditional expression (10), it is possible to reduce the amount of astigmatism and distortion. When the upper limit of conditional expression (10) is not reached, the amount of chromatic aberration of magnification can be reduced.

  In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, it is preferable that the front group moves during zooming.

  Thereby, the amount of curvature of field can be reduced over the entire zoom range.

  In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, the first lens unit includes a first sub-lens unit and a second sub-lens unit in order from the object side to the image side. The distance between the sub lens unit and the second sub lens unit is preferably constant.

  In this case, the lens spacing in the first lens unit is not changed during zooming. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a space necessary for moving the lens in the first lens unit. As a result, the first lens unit can be reduced in size. Further, since the structure of the lens barrel can be simplified, it is easier to reduce the diameter of the lens barrel. The interval between the first sub lens unit and the second sub lens unit is a paraxial interval.

  Further, if the moving direction and moving amount differ for each lens during zooming, it may be necessary to provide an extra space necessary for moving the lens. As a result, the overall length of the first lens unit may change. On the other hand, when the first lens unit moves together, all the lenses in the first lens unit move by the same amount in the same direction. In this case, the total length of the first lens unit does not change. Therefore, the first lens unit can be reduced in size.

  In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, the first lens unit includes a first sub-lens unit and a second sub-lens unit in order from the object side to the image side. The distance between the sub lens unit and the second sub lens unit is preferably changed.

  In this way, the zoom ratio can be borne by the two lens units of the first sub lens unit and the second sub lens unit. In this case, the movement amount of the first sub lens unit and the second sub lens unit at the time of zooming can be suppressed. Therefore, the total length of the optical system can be shortened.

  In addition, by configuring the first lens unit with the first sub-lens unit and the second sub-lens unit, both can have a zooming action. In this case, the first sub lens unit and the second sub lens unit can bear the magnification necessary to obtain a desired zoom ratio. Therefore, the movement amount at the time of zooming can be kept small in both the first sub lens unit and the second sub lens unit. As a result, the overall length of the optical system can be shortened. The interval between the first sub lens unit and the second sub lens unit is a paraxial interval.

  In addition, when changing the magnification, the spherical aberration tends to fluctuate. Therefore, by changing the interval between the two sub lens units, it is possible to obtain mainly the effect of suppressing the fluctuation of the spherical aberration. This is effective for high zooming. In addition, the amount of variation in field curvature can also be reduced.

  In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, a part of the first sub lens unit is a focus lens group, and it is preferable that the focus lens group moves together with the first sub lens unit during zooming. .

  By doing so, it is possible to simplify the movement of the focus lens group with respect to zooming. Further, since only the focus lens group moves during focusing, the weight of the focus lens group can be reduced. Further, the drive mechanism of the focus lens group can be reduced in size and weight. As a result, focus driving with high power consumption and low power consumption is possible.

  In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, it is preferable that the entire first sub lens unit is a focus lens group.

  Since the rear group has an aperture stop, the first sub lens unit can be positioned in the vicinity of the aperture stop. Therefore, the entire first sub lens unit is used as a focus lens group, so that the focus lens group is positioned in the vicinity of the aperture stop.

  In the vicinity of the aperture stop, the height of the off-axis light beam is low. For this reason, in the off-axis light beam that passes through the focus lens group, changes in the height and angle of the light beam due to zooming are reduced. As a result, the amount of fluctuation of off-axis aberrations, particularly coma aberration, can be reduced over the entire zoom range.

  In addition, this makes it possible to make the drive mechanism at the time of zooming and the drive mechanism at the time of focusing common. Therefore, the lens frame structure can be simplified and downsized.

  In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, it is preferable that the first sub lens unit has a positive refractive power.

  Since the rear group has an aperture stop, the first sub lens unit having a positive refractive power can be arranged closer to the object side than the aperture stop. In this case, the second sub lens unit is disposed on the image side of the aperture stop. By doing so, it is possible to easily correct spherical aberration and coma.

  Further, since the first sub lens unit has a positive refractive power, it has an effect of converging the light beam. Therefore, by arranging the first sub lens unit closest to the object side in the rear group, the entire rear group can be easily reduced in diameter. In addition, since the height of the on-axis light beam in the rear group can be kept low, the generation amount of spherical aberration can be reduced.

  In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, the first lens unit includes a focus lens group and a second sub lens unit in order from the object side to the image side. It is preferable that the distance from the second sub lens unit changes.

  Thereby, it is possible to reduce the amount of fluctuation of the field curvature during zooming. Note that the distance between the focus lens group and the second sub lens unit is a paraxial distance.

  In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, the first lens unit has a camera shake reduction lens unit, and image blur due to camera shake is reduced by moving the camera shake reduction lens unit in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. Is preferred.

  Image blur occurs due to camera shake. Therefore, image blur correction is performed by moving the camera shake reduction lens unit in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. As described above, the front group has a negative refractive power. Therefore, a camera shake reduction lens unit is disposed on the image side of the front group so that the camera shake reduction lens unit has a positive refractive power. By doing so, the magnification of the camera shake reduction lens unit can be increased. That is, the amount of movement of the image can be made larger than the amount of movement of the camera shake reduction lens unit. As a result, camera shake reduction sensitivity can be increased.

  In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, it is preferable that the camera shake reduction lens unit is disposed closer to the image side than the focus lens group.

  It is preferable that the camera shake reduction lens unit can move at a higher speed. Further, it is preferable that the moving range is narrow. For that purpose, it is desirable that the diameter of the camera shake reduction lens unit be as small as possible. That is, it is desirable that a lens (lens unit) at a position where the light beam is thinner be a camera shake reduction lens unit.

  The light beam emitted from the focus lens group passes through the aperture stop. Therefore, the beam diameter is smaller on the image side than the focus lens group. Therefore, by arranging the camera shake reduction lens unit here, the diameter of the camera shake reduction lens unit can be reduced. As a result, image blur can be reduced more favorably.

  In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, a camera shake reduction lens unit is disposed in the first sub lens unit, and the camera shake reduction lens unit is moved in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, thereby reducing image blur due to camera shake. It is preferable to do.

  It is preferable that the camera shake reduction lens unit can move at a higher speed. Further, it is preferable that the moving range is narrow. For that purpose, it is desirable that the diameter of the camera shake reduction lens unit be as small as possible. That is, it is desirable that a lens (lens unit) at a position where the light beam is thinner be a camera shake reduction lens unit.

  Since the rear group has an aperture stop, the first sub-lens unit can be arranged in the vicinity of the aperture stop. Therefore, the camera shake reduction lens unit can be arranged near the aperture stop by arranging the camera shake reduction lens unit in the first sub lens unit. By doing so, it is possible to reduce camera shake at a location where the magnification of the camera shake reduction lens unit can be increased more effectively, that is, at a location where the axial light beam is thick. As a result, the sensitivity of the camera shake reduction lens unit can be increased.

  In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, it is preferable that the camera shake reduction lens unit has a negative refractive power.

  As a result, the camera shake reduction lens unit is positioned in a portion where the luminous flux is narrower. As a result, the diameter and movement range of the camera shake reduction lens unit can be reduced.

In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, it is preferable that the following conditional expression (11) is satisfied.
−25 <DTL _w <7 (11)
here,
DTL _w is distortion at the maximum angle of view at the wide-angle end, and is expressed by DTL _w = (IH _w1 −IH _w2 ) / IH _w2 × 100 (%),
IH _w1 is the real image height at which the maximum field angle at the wide-angle end from the infinite object point is imaged on the image plane,
IH _w2 is the paraxial image height at which the maximum field angle at the wide-angle end from the infinite object point is imaged on the image plane,
It is.

  By appropriately setting the amount of distortion, the optical system can be reduced in diameter while increasing the refractive power of the front group to increase the super wide angle of view and shorten the total length of the optical system.

  By exceeding the lower limit value of conditional expression (11), the amount of barrel distortion can be reduced. As a result, the perspective effect can be strengthened. In addition, when distortion is electrically corrected, the image in the peripheral portion of the image may be greatly stretched to deteriorate the image, but this deterioration can be suppressed.

  By falling below the upper limit value of conditional expression (11), the diameter of the front group can be reduced. As a result, the optical system can be reduced in size.

The zoom lens according to the present embodiment includes a predetermined lens group, and the predetermined lens group is a lens group located between the image side surface and the image plane of the focus lens group, and the following conditional expression ( It is preferable to satisfy 12).
0.10 <| MG _fob ² × (MG _fo ² −1) | <3.0 (12)
here,
MG _fo is the lateral magnification of the focus lens group at an arbitrary position,
MG _fob is a lateral magnification of a predetermined lens group at the same position as an arbitrary position,
It is.

  By exceeding the lower limit value of conditional expression (12), the amount of movement of the focus lens group can be reduced. As a result, the overall length of the optical system can be shortened. By falling below the upper limit value of conditional expression (12), the position control of the focus lens group can be easily performed. As a result, accurate focusing can be achieved.

In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, it is preferable that the following conditional expression (13) is satisfied.
−2.0 <f _F / (f _w × f _t ) ^1/2 <−1.0 (13)
f _F is the focal length of the front group,
f _w is the focal length of the entire zoom lens system at the wide-angle end,
f _t is the focal length of the entire zoom lens system at the telephoto end,
It is.

  Conditional expression (13) relates to the ratio between the focal length of the front group and the product of the focal lengths at the wide-angle end and the telephoto end.

  By exceeding the lower limit value of conditional expression (13), it is possible to suppress the refractive power of the front group from becoming too large. As a result, the amount of astigmatism and lateral chromatic aberration generated at the wide angle end can be reduced.

  By falling below the upper limit value of conditional expression (13), the refractive power of the front group can be increased appropriately, so that the entrance pupil can be positioned closer to the object side. As a result, the diameter of the front group can be reduced.

In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, it is preferable that the following conditional expression (14) is satisfied.
1.6 <SP _F2 <6 (14)
here,
SP _F2 = (r _F2o + r _F2i ) / (r _F2o -r _F2i )
r _F2o is the paraxial radius of curvature of the object side of the second lens,
r _F2i is the paraxial radius of curvature of the image side surface of the second lens,
It is.

  By exceeding the lower limit value of the conditional expression (14), the total length of the optical system can be shortened with respect to the back focus at the wide angle end. As a result, the overall length of the optical system can be shortened.

  By falling below the upper limit value of conditional expression (14), the back focus can be shortened with respect to the entire length of the optical system at the wide-angle end. As a result, the overall length of the optical system can be shortened. Further, when an optical element is arranged in the optical system, it becomes easy to secure a sufficient space for arranging the optical element. For this reason, the optical performance in the entire zoom range can be improved.

In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, it is preferable that the following conditional expression (15) is satisfied.
0.5 <SP _F4 <6.0 (15)
here,
SP _F4 = (r _F4o + r _F4i ) / (r _F4o -r _F4i )
r _F4o is the paraxial radius of curvature of the object side surface of the fourth lens,
r _F4i is the paraxial radius of curvature of the image side of the fourth lens,
It is.

  By exceeding the lower limit value of the conditional expression (15), the total length of the optical system can be shortened with respect to the back focus at the wide angle end. As a result, the overall length of the optical system can be further shortened.

  By falling below the upper limit of conditional expression (15), the back focus can be shortened with respect to the entire length of the optical system at the wide-angle end. As a result, the overall length of the optical system can be further shortened. Further, when an optical element is arranged in the optical system, it becomes easy to secure a sufficient space for arranging the optical element. For this reason, the optical performance in the entire zoom range can be improved.

  In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, it is preferable that the focus lens group is disposed on the most object side of the first lens unit.

  Since the rear group has an aperture stop, the height of the peripheral rays is lower at the position of the aperture stop than in the front group. In the rear group, the first lens unit is disposed on the object side. Therefore, by arranging the focus lens group on the most object side of the first lens unit, the height of the peripheral light beam is lowered in the focus lens group.

  In this case, even if the focus lens group moves, fluctuations in the height of the peripheral rays passing through the front group can be reduced. Thereby, the fluctuation | variation of the curvature of field in a meridional surface can also be suppressed. As a result, the imaging performance of the optical system can be kept high even when focusing on a short-distance object.

  In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, it is preferable that the lens group located closest to the image side has a positive refractive power.

  It is necessary to increase the refractive power of the front group in order to increase the angle of view, to reduce the size of the optical system, and to reduce the diameter of the optical system. Positive field curvature occurs. Therefore, by arranging a lens group having a positive refractive power closest to the image side, a large positive field curvature that occurs in the front group can be easily corrected.

  Below, the numerical data of each said Example are shown. Symbols are the above, r is the radius of curvature of each lens surface, d is the distance between the lens surfaces, nd is the refractive index of the d-line of each lens, νd is the Abbe number of each lens, and * is an aspherical surface . F is the focal length of the entire system, FNO. Is the F number, ω is the half field angle, IH is the image height, FB is the back focus, and the total length is the distance from the lens surface closest to the object side to the lens surface closest to the image side of the zoom lens. F1, f2,... Are focal lengths of the respective lens groups. Note that FB represents the distance from the final lens surface to the paraxial image plane in terms of air. The wide angle represents the wide angle end, the middle represents the intermediate focal length state, and the telephoto represents the telephoto end.

  The zoom data in the numerical data is data at the time of focusing on an object at infinity. For example, in the zoom data of Numerical Example 9, the value d14 is described. The value of d14 is the same at any of the wide angle end, the intermediate focal length state, and the telephoto end. Thus, since d14 is not an interval that changes during zooming, there is no need to describe it as zoom data, but it is described to show the movement of the focus lens group.

  The state of movement of the focus lens group can be known from the interval at the time of focusing on an object at infinity, that is, the interval in zoom data and the interval at the time of focusing on a near object. For example, the movement of the focus lens group in Numerical Example 9 may be performed by comparing the distance at the time of focusing on an object at infinity with the distance at the time of focusing on a short distance object for d14.

At the wide-angle end, the values of d14 when an object at infinity is in focus and when an object at a short distance is in focus are as follows.
When focusing on an object at infinity d14 = 6.50
D14 = 4.96 at the time of focusing on a short distance object

  As described above, the value of d14 is smaller when focusing on an object at a short distance than when focusing on an object at infinity. Here, d12 indicates the positions of the biconvex positive lens L6 and the biconcave negative lens L7 of the second lens group G2. Therefore, the value of d14 at the time of focusing on an object at infinity and at the time of focusing on an object at short distance is the biconvex positive lens L6 and the biconcave negative lens at the time of focusing from an object at infinity to a near object in Numerical Example 6. It shows that L7 moves to the image side. It is possible to know the movement of the focus lens group in the same way for the intermediate focal length state and the telephoto end.

Further, the aspherical shape is expressed by the following equation when the optical axis direction is z, the direction orthogonal to the optical axis is y, the conical coefficient is k, and the aspherical coefficients are A4, A6, A8, and A10. .
z = (y ² / r) / [1+ {1− (1 + k) (y / r) ² } ^1/2 ]
+ A4y ⁴ + A6y ⁶ + A8y ⁸ + A10y ¹⁰
In the aspheric coefficient, “e−n” (n is an integer) indicates “10 ⁻ⁿ ”. The symbols of these specification values are common to the numerical data of the examples described later.
