Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、主として35ミリ一眼レフレックスカメラ用交換レンズの広角ズームレンズとして利用される。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一眼レフレックス用の広角ズームレンズは、ワイド端で長いバックフォーカスを得るために負正の2群からなるレトロフォーカスタイプの構成が必要である。しかし、負正パワーからなる2群方式の広角ズームレンズのレトロフォーカスタイプの構成はパワー配置に対称性が無いので、たとえズーム比が2程度のシステムにおいてもズーミングによる収差変動の補正が一般に困難である。このためシステムを構成する素子の数を多くすることで良好な収差補正を実現してきた。たとえば、焦点距離が35〜70ミリ、Fナンバが3.5〜4程度でバックフォーカスの長い広角ズームレンズは、第1群が最低で3枚、第2群が4枚以上で構成されたシステムが多い。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の課題は、レンズの構成枚数が少なく製造コストの低い2群方式の広角ズームレンズを提供することにある。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、負正パワーの2つの群の適切なレンズ構成、すなわち、第1群は物体側から順に物体側に凸面を向け前面が非球面のメニスカス負レンズと物体側に凸面を向けたメニスカス正レンズからなり、第2群は物体側から順に正の単レンズ、負の単レンズ、正の単レンズとからなるトリプレットで構成され、いずれかの正パワーの素子の一つの面が非球面であり、かつ以下の条件
【0005】
(1)0.4|f1|>Df>0.2|f1|
(2)0.4f2>Db>0.2f2
ただし、
f1:第1群の焦点距離
f2:第2群の焦点距離
Df:第1群の負正レンズの空気間隔
Db:第2群の先頭レンズと第2レンズの空気間隔
を満足することにより、従来レンズに比べて構成枚数を大幅に削減し、かつ同等以上の性能を実現した。
【0006】
2群ズーム方式の収差補正上の主要な問題点は、レトロフォーカスタイプに特有な強い発散性の第1レンズ群が発生する負の歪曲収差の補正である。この補正には発散性の第1レンズ群に正レンズを導入する手法がよく知られている。しかし、全体として負パワーの第1群に正パワーを付加することは、負成分のパワーをより強くしなければならない矛盾であり、収差補正にとって好ましいことではない。この矛盾を小さくするため、本発明は先頭負レンズに非球面を導入して歪曲収差を補正し、さらに、第1レンズから大きな空気間隔を置いて正レンズを配し、その形状を物体側に凸面を向けたメニスカス状にすることにより、弱い正パワーで強い負パワーが発生する収差の補正を可能にした。
【0007】
また、第2群は諸収差を良好に補正できる最小の構成であるトリプレット、すなわち、正負正の単レンズから成る構成とし、絞りに近い方の先頭または後部の正レンズの1つの面を非球面にすることで収差補正のポテンシャルを大きくした。
【0008】
非球面の効果的な作用とあわせ、収差補正の効果が高くなるようにそれぞれの群中の空気間隔の大きさを規定することにより、少ない構成枚数で高性能な広角ズームレンズを得ることができた。
【0009】
【作用】
条件1は第1群中の負正レンズの間隔を規定する。下限を越えて間隔が小さくなるときは、コンパクト化や歪曲収差の補正がし易くなるが球面収差の補正にとっては好ましくない。逆に上限を越えて大きくしていけば開口収差の補正はし易くなるが、システムが大型化するので望ましくない。
【0010】
条件2は第2群中の先頭レンズとその次に配された負レンズとの空気間隔に関する条件である。この間隔が上限を越えて大きくなればバックフォーカスに不足が生じ、かつ負の歪曲が増大する。下限を越えて小さくなるときは非点収差の補正に好ましくない。
【0011】
条件1、2で与えた2つの量的規定は同種ズームレンズに見られない特徴である。
【0012】
また、よく知られているように、絞りに近い面の非球面化は開口収差の補正に極めて有効であるが、本発明では、歪曲収差を補正するための第1群先頭面の非球面のほかに第2群の絞りに近い方の正レンズの1つの面を非球面にし、良好な開口収差の補正を実現することができた。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is mainly used as a wide-angle zoom lens as an interchangeable lens for a 35 mm single-lens reflex camera.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A wide-angle zoom lens for a single-lens reflex requires a retrofocus type structure composed of two negative and positive groups in order to obtain a long back focus at the wide end. However, the retrofocus type configuration of the two-group wide-angle zoom lens composed of negative and positive powers has no symmetry in power arrangement, so it is generally difficult to correct aberration fluctuations due to zooming even in a system with a zoom ratio of about 2. is there. Therefore, good aberration correction has been realized by increasing the number of elements constituting the system. For example, a wide-angle zoom lens having a focal length of 35 to 70 mm, an F number of about 3.5 to 4 and a long back focus is a system in which the first group is composed of at least three lenses and the second group is composed of four or more lenses. There are many.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to provide a two-group wide-angle zoom lens with a small number of lenses and a low manufacturing cost.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention provides an appropriate lens configuration of two groups having negative and positive powers, that is, the first group is a meniscus negative lens having a convex surface facing the object side in order from the object side and a meniscus having a convex surface facing the object side. The second lens unit is composed of a triplet composed of a positive single lens, a negative single lens, and a positive single lens in order from the object side. One surface of any positive power element is an aspherical surface. Yes, and the following conditions:
(1) 0.4 | f1 |>Df> 0.2 | f1 |
(2) 0.4f2>Db> 0.2f2
However,
f1: Focal length of the first group f2: Focal length of the second group Df: Air distance of the negative positive lens of the first group Db: Conventionally by satisfying the air distance of the first lens of the second group and the second lens Compared to the lens, the number of components has been greatly reduced, and the same or better performance has been achieved.
[0006]
The main problem in aberration correction of the two-group zoom method is correction of negative distortion generated by the strong divergent first lens group unique to the retrofocus type. For this correction, a method of introducing a positive lens into the first divergent lens group is well known. However, adding positive power to the first group of negative power as a whole is a contradiction in which the power of the negative component must be made stronger, and is not preferable for aberration correction. In order to reduce this contradiction, the present invention introduces an aspherical surface to the leading negative lens to correct distortion, and further, a positive lens is arranged with a large air gap from the first lens, and the shape is arranged on the object side. By making the convex surface meniscus, it is possible to correct aberrations that generate strong negative power with weak positive power.
[0007]
The second group is a triplet which is a minimum configuration capable of correcting various aberrations satisfactorily, that is, a configuration composed of positive and negative single lenses, and one surface of the front or rear positive lens closer to the stop is aspheric. This increases the potential for aberration correction.
[0008]
Along with the effective action of the aspherical surface, by defining the size of the air gap in each group so that the effect of aberration correction is high, a high-performance wide-angle zoom lens can be obtained with a small number of components. It was.
[0009]
[Action]
Condition 1 defines the interval between the negative and positive lenses in the first group. When the interval is smaller than the lower limit, it becomes easy to make compact and correct distortion, but it is not preferable for correcting spherical aberration. Conversely, if the value exceeds the upper limit, the aperture aberration can be easily corrected, but this is not desirable because the system becomes large.
[0010]
Condition 2 is a condition relating to the air gap between the leading lens in the second lens group and the negative lens disposed next to it. If this interval exceeds the upper limit, the back focus will be insufficient, and negative distortion will increase. When it becomes smaller than the lower limit, it is not preferable for correcting astigmatism.
[0011]
The two quantitative rules given in Conditions 1 and 2 are features that are not found in the same kind of zoom lens.
[0012]
As is well known, the aspherical surface close to the stop is extremely effective for correcting the aperture aberration. In the present invention, the aspherical surface of the first lens group front surface for correcting distortion aberration is used. In addition, one surface of the positive lens closer to the stop of the second group was made aspherical, and satisfactory aperture aberration correction could be realized.
