The present invention also provides an optical device having the zoom lens.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a small zoom lens having excellent optical performance, in which chromatic aberration in the telephoto imaging region is corrected, and an optical apparatus having the zoom lens.

A zoom lens according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The zoom lens according to the embodiment includes, in order from the object side, a plurality of lens groups including a first lens group having a positive refractive power, a second lens group having a negative refractive power, a third lens group, and a fourth lens group. It is the structure which has.

To explain the above lens configuration from an optical point of view, the first lens group is a first condenser lens group, the second lens group is a variable power lens group, the third lens group is an imaging lens group, and the lens on the most image plane side. The group is a field lens group.

The first lens group and the second lens group greatly change the incident light height and the incident angle at the time of zooming, and thus greatly contribute to variations in spherical aberration and curvature of field during zooming.

The third lens group preferably has an aperture stop in or near the third lens group. Since the change of the light incident height and the light incident angle is small during zooming, the contribution of various aberration fluctuations to zooming is small. However, since the image is formed by further collecting the light beam condensed by the first lens group, the lens structure must have a small radius of curvature with a strong refractive power. As a result, high-order spherical aberration tends to occur greatly.

Since the lens group closest to the image plane has a small incident beam diameter with respect to each image height, it contributes more to fluctuations in field curvature than spherical aberration. In addition, in order to match a solid-state image pickup device represented by shading with a photographing optical system, the exit pupil is further moved away from the image plane on the object side.

In order to satisfactorily correct aberrations while keeping the overall length small, the third lens group includes, in order from the object side, a first positive lens of the third lens group, a negative lens of the third lens group, and a third lens. The second positive lens of the lens group, the focal length in the wide-angle end state is Fw, the total thickness of the third lens group is D30, the first positive lens of the third lens group and the second positive lens group of the third lens group When the average refractive index is N3, it is desirable that the following conditional expression (1) is satisfied.
(1) 0.700 <D30 × N3 / Fw <1.435

If the lower limit value of conditional expression (1) is not reached, high-order spherical aberration is greatly generated, which is not preferable. If the upper limit value of conditional expression (1) is exceeded, the air gap between the second lens group and the third lens group becomes small in the telephoto end state. In order to avoid this, it is necessary to set the rear principal point position of the second lens group closer to the image plane side, which is not preferable because the variation in field curvature due to zooming becomes large.

In order to secure the effect of the embodiment, it is preferable to set the lower limit of conditional expression (1) to 0.800. In order to secure the effect of the embodiment, it is preferable to set the upper limit of conditional expression (1) to 1.430.

In the zoom lens according to the embodiment, it is preferable that the third lens group has a positive refractive power and the fourth lens group has a positive refractive power. By adopting such a configuration, it becomes possible to correct various aberrations and achieve high imaging performance.

In the zoom lens according to the embodiment, the gap between the first lens group and the second lens group is increased when the object to be photographed is changed from the wide-angle focal length to the telephoto focal length at infinity. It is desirable that the gap of the third lens group is reduced and the lens group closest to the image plane among the plurality of lens groups is moved along the optical axis along a locus convex toward the object side.

If the first lens group is fixed at the time of zooming, it is difficult to cause deterioration of flatness of the image plane due to decentering, which is preferable.

In the zoom lens according to the embodiment, it is desirable that the third lens group is fixed when zooming from the wide-angle end state to the telephoto end state. As described above, if the third lens group is fixed at the time of zooming, when the third lens group is set as an anti-vibration lens group, a zooming drive mechanism for the third lens group is not required. The arrangement is such that the mechanism is independent of the drive mechanism. In addition, the outer diameter of the optical system can be reduced.

In the zoom lens according to the embodiment, it is preferable that the following condition is satisfied when the focal length of the third lens unit is F3.
(2) 1.00 <F3 / Fw <3.40

Conditional expression (2) is a rule for achieving miniaturization while satisfactorily correcting various aberrations. By satisfying conditional expression (2), it is possible to satisfactorily correct aberrations such as spherical aberration and field curvature, to keep the entire length of the zoom lens short, and to achieve miniaturization of the zoom lens.

If the lower limit value of conditional expression (2) is not reached, high-order spherical aberration is greatly generated, which is not preferable. If the upper limit value of conditional expression (2) is exceeded, the focal length of the fourth lens group must be shortened in order to keep the entire length of the entire optical system short, which is not preferable because the field curvature becomes large.

In order to secure the effect of the embodiment, it is preferable to set the lower limit of conditional expression (2) to 1.50. In order to secure the effect of the embodiment, it is preferable to set the upper limit of conditional expression (2) to 3.00.

In the following description, “lens component” indicates “lens”.
In the zoom lens according to the embodiment, it is desirable that the lens group closest to the image plane among the plurality of lens groups has one positive lens component. With such a configuration, it is possible to achieve good chromatic aberration with a small lens system.

In the zoom lens according to the embodiment, when the focal length of the lens unit closest to the image plane among the plurality of lens units is Fe and the refractive index of the positive lens component is Ne, the following conditional expression (3) It is desirable to satisfy
(3) 0.10 <D30 × Ne / Fe <0.50

Conditional expression (3) is a rule for correcting aberrations satisfactorily. By satisfying conditional expression (3), it is possible to satisfactorily correct lateral chromatic aberration, curvature of field aberration, and the like and achieve high imaging performance.

If the lower limit of conditional expression (3) is not reached, the lateral chromatic aberration becomes large, which is not preferable. Exceeding the upper limit value of conditional expression (3) is not preferable because the variation in field curvature due to zooming becomes large.

In order to secure the effect of the embodiment, it is preferable to set the lower limit of conditional expression (3) to 0.15. In order to secure the effect of the embodiment, it is preferable to set the upper limit of conditional expression (3) to 0.52.

In the zoom lens according to the embodiment, the first positive lens of the third lens group has a convex shape on the object side surface, and the negative lens of the third lens group has an absolute value of the curvature radius of the image side surface of the object side surface. The absolute value of the curvature radius is smaller than the absolute value of the curvature radius of the second lens in the third lens group, and the absolute value of the curvature radius of the image side surface is smaller than the absolute value of the curvature radius of the object side surface. It is desirable to have a spherical surface.

With such a configuration, it is possible to achieve a small zoom lens that satisfactorily corrects various aberrations and has high imaging performance.

In the zoom lens according to the embodiment, it is preferable that all the lenses in the third lens group are arranged with air interposed therebetween.

With such a configuration, various aberrations can be corrected satisfactorily, and a small zoom lens having high imaging performance can be achieved.

In the zoom lens according to the embodiment, it is preferable that the following conditional expression (4) is satisfied when the focal length of the negative lens of the third lens group is F32.
(4) -2.00 <F3 / F32 <-0.98

Conditional expression (4) is a rule for favorably correcting various aberrations. By satisfying conditional expression (4), it is possible to satisfactorily correct spherical aberration, coma, and the like and achieve high imaging performance.

If the lower limit of conditional expression (4) is not reached, spherical aberration is greatly generated, which is not preferable. Exceeding the upper limit of conditional expression (4) is not preferable because coma becomes large.

In order to secure the effect of the embodiment, it is preferable to set the lower limit of conditional expression (4) to −1.80. In order to secure the effect of the embodiment, it is preferable to set the upper limit of conditional expression (4) to −1.03.

In the zoom lens according to the embodiment, a favorable monochromatic aberration is obtained while maintaining the entire length small by the above configuration. However, since the third lens group has a strong refractive power to shorten the back focus of the entire optical system, chromatic aberration tends to occur. In order to avoid this, it is preferable to use a low dispersion glass for the positive lens of the third lens group. However, since the low dispersion glass tends to have a small refractive index, it is necessary to reduce the radius of curvature of the lens surface in order to obtain a predetermined refractive power, which causes large spherical aberration.

Therefore, the zoom lens according to the embodiment has an aspheric surface on the object side surface of the first positive lens of the third lens group, and includes the first positive lens of the third lens group and the second positive lens of the third lens group. When the average refractive index is N3 and the average Abbe number is ν3, it is desirable that the following conditional expressions (5) and (6) are satisfied.
(5) N3 <1.500
(6) 70.00 <ν3
Thus, by forming an aspheric surface on the object side surface of the first positive lens of the third lens group, it is possible to satisfactorily correct spherical aberration correction.

Further, by satisfying conditional expressions (5) and (6), it is possible to satisfactorily correct the axial chromatic aberration during zooming. If the conditional expressions (5) and (6) are not satisfied, the variation of longitudinal chromatic aberration due to zooming becomes large, which is not preferable.

In order to secure the effect of the embodiment, it is preferable to set the upper limit of conditional expression (5) to 1.495. In order to secure the effect of the embodiment, it is preferable to set the lower limit of conditional expression (6) to 75.00.

In the zoom lens according to the embodiment, the most positive lens component on the image plane side of the plurality of lens groups has an aspheric surface on the image side surface, the refractive index of the positive lens component is Ne, and the Abbe number of the positive lens component. Is preferably νe, the following conditions (7) and (8) are preferably satisfied.
(7) Ne <1.550
(8) 75.00 <νe

Conditional expressions (7) and (8) are rules for satisfactorily correcting chromatic aberration and the like. By satisfying conditional expressions (7) and (8), it is possible to satisfactorily correct aberrations such as lateral chromatic aberration and achieve high imaging performance.

A deviation from the range of conditional expressions (7) and (8) is not preferable because a variation due to magnification chromatic aberration becomes large. In order to secure the effect of the embodiment, it is preferable to set the upper limit of conditional expression (7) to 1.500. In order to secure the effect of the embodiment, it is preferable to set the lower limit of conditional expression (8) to 80.00.

In order to achieve good chromatic aberration with a compact lens system, the lens group closest to the image plane is composed of one positive lens component, and the image side surface of the positive lens component is aspherical for the purpose of correcting spherical aberration. The shape is preferable.

In the zoom lens according to the embodiment, it is desirable to perform image blur correction by moving at least a part of the third lens group in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

Since the third lens group has little change in light incident height and light incident angle during zooming, aberration correction for performing image stabilization correction can be performed efficiently. Further, if the third lens group that is fixed at the time of zooming and focusing is used as a blur correction lens group, the third lens group can be an anti-vibration driving mechanism that is independent from the focusing driving mechanism. Further, since both drive systems are arranged independently, the outer diameter of the optical system can be reduced.

FIGS. 23A and 23B are graphs showing various aberrations of the zoom lens according to the eighth example in the infinity state. FIG. 23A is an aberration diagram in the wide-angle end state, FIG. 23B is the intermediate focal length state, and FIG. Respectively. FIGS. 24A and 24B are graphs showing various aberrations of the zoom lens according to the eighth example when the close-up shooting distance is in focus. FIG. 24A shows Rw = 206 mm, FIG. 24B shows Rm = 732 mm, and FIG. 24C shows Rt = 500 mm. Each aberration diagram is shown.

From each aberration diagram, it can be seen that the zoom lens according to Example 8 has excellent imaging characteristics with various aberrations corrected well from the wide-angle end state to the telephoto end state.

A camera having a zoom lens according to an embodiment will be described below.

FIG. 25 shows an electronic still camera equipped with the zoom lens according to the embodiment, where (a) shows a front view and (b) shows a rear view. FIG. 26 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A ′ of FIG.

In FIGS. 25 and 26, when the electronic still camera 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as a camera) presses a power button (not shown), a shutter (not shown) of the photographing lens 2 is opened, and the photographing lens 2 removes an object from a subject (not shown). The light is condensed and imaged on an image sensor C (for example, CCD or CMOS) disposed on the image plane I. The subject image formed on the image sensor C is displayed on the liquid crystal monitor 3 disposed behind the camera 1. The photographer determines the composition of the subject image while looking at the liquid crystal monitor 3, and then presses the release button 4 to photograph the subject image with the image sensor C, and records and saves it in a memory (not shown). At this time, blurring of the camera 1 caused by camera shake or the like is detected by an angular velocity sensor (not shown) built in the camera 1, and the image stabilization lens G3 disposed on the photographing lens 2 is taken by the image stabilization lens (not shown). 2 is shifted in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis 2 to correct image blur on the image plane I caused by camera shake.

The taking lens 2 is composed of a zoom lens according to an embodiment described later. The camera 1 also includes an auxiliary light emitting unit 5 that emits auxiliary light when the subject is dark, and a zoom lens that is the photographing lens 2 when zooming from the wide-angle end state (W) to the telephoto end state (T). A wide (W) -tele (T) button 6 and a function button 7 used for setting various conditions of the camera 1 are arranged.

Thus, the camera 1 including the zoom lens according to the embodiment is configured.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the telephoto end half angle of view is 3.0 degrees or less, the zoom ratio is approximately 10 times or more, and the telephoto end Fno is 5 or less. A small zoom lens having excellent imaging performance can be achieved.

In the above embodiment, the first lens unit and the third lens unit are fixed at the time of zooming. However, the intention of the present application is not limited to this zooming method. For example, if the zooming mechanism of the first lens group has a configuration with little eccentricity, the first lens group is moved to the object side, the second lens group is moved to the image side, and the third lens group is fixed. Of the plurality of lens groups, the lens group closest to the image plane may move along the optical axis along a locus convex toward the object side.

Also, if the image stabilization correction mechanism and the zooming mechanism of the third lens group can coexist, the first lens group is fixed, the second lens group is moved to the image side, and the third lens group is moved to the object side. The lens group closest to the image plane may be moved convexly toward the object side.

Further, if the zooming mechanism of the first lens unit has a configuration with little decentering and the third lens unit can coexist with the image stabilization mechanism and the zooming mechanism, the first lens unit is moved to the object side. The second lens group may be moved toward the image side, the third lens group may be moved toward the object side, and the lens group closest to the image plane may be moved convexly toward the object side.

In the first embodiment, the entire third lens group G3 is decentered in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis to correct image shake caused by so-called camera shake, but may be performed in other embodiments. Further, the correction may be performed by driving not only the entire third lens group G3 but also any lens or lens group of the above-described design example in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. Further, the fourth lens group may have a single convex lens configuration for cost reduction.

Further, the short distance focusing in each embodiment is performed by the fourth lens group or the fifth lens group which is the lens group closest to the image plane side, but the zooming mechanism and the short distance focusing mechanism of the first lens group are different. As long as the coexistence is possible, the entire first lens unit or a part thereof may be used.

Further, in the embodiment, the 4-group or 5-group configuration is shown, but the present invention can also be applied to other group configurations such as a 3-group or 6-group configuration.

The lens surface may be an aspherical surface. The aspherical surface may be any of an aspherical surface by grinding, a glass mold aspherical surface in which a glass is formed into an aspherical shape, or a composite aspherical surface in which a resin is formed in an aspherical shape on the glass surface.

The aperture stop is preferably disposed in the vicinity of the third lens group, but the role of the aperture stop may be substituted by a lens frame without providing a member as an aperture stop.

Further, if each lens surface is provided with an antireflection film having a high transmittance at a wide wavelength range, flare and ghost can be reduced and high optical performance with high contrast can be achieved.

In addition, in order to explain the present invention in an easy-to-understand manner, the configuration requirements of the embodiment have been described, but it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to this.
