[0071] In addition, the terms "including" and "including" in this specification mean that, in addition to the constituent elements listed, it may also include lenses that do not substantially have refractive power, as well as optical elements other than lenses such as apertures, filters and cover glass, and mechanism parts such as lens flanges, lens barrels, imaging elements and hand shaking correction mechanisms.

[0072] In addition, in this specification, "a group with positive refractive power" means that the group as a whole has positive refractive power. Similarly, "a group with negative refractive power" means that the group as a whole has negative refractive power. "Lens with positive refractive power," "positive lens," and "positive lens" have the same meaning. "Lens with negative refractive power," "negative lens," and "negative lens" have the same meaning. "Single lens" refers to a single, unjoined lens.

[0073] A "lens group" is not limited to a structure comprising multiple lenses; it can also be a structure comprising only a single lens. A compound aspherical lens (a lens in which a spherical lens and an aspherical film formed on the spherical lens are integrated to function as a single aspherical lens) is used as a single lens and not considered a combined lens. Unless otherwise specified, the sign of the refractive power, the surface shape of the lens surface, and the radius of curvature associated with lenses including aspherical surfaces are considered in the paraxial region. Regarding the sign of the radius of curvature, the radius of curvature of the surface with a convex shape facing the object is signified positive, and the radius of curvature of the surface with a convex shape facing the image is signified negative.

[0074] In this specification, "the entire system" refers to "the imaging lens". In this specification, "the object-side of the entire system" is also simply referred to as "the object-side". Furthermore, "in order from the object side to the image side" related to the arrangement order is also simply referred to as "in order from the object side". The "focal length" used in the conditional formula is the paraxial focal length. The value of "FNo" used in the conditional formula is the value of the open F-number. The "back focal length" is the distance on the optical axis from the lens surface closest to the image side to the image-side focal point of the imaging lens. The value used in the conditional formula is the value with the d-line as a reference when focusing on an object at infinity. When the refractive indices of a lens relative to the g-line, F-line, and C-line are set to Ng, NF, and NC, respectively, the partial dispersion ratio θgF between the g-line and F-line of the lens is defined by θgF = (Ng - NF) / (NF - NC). The “d-line,” “C-line,” “F-line,” and “g-line” mentioned in this specification are bright lines. The wavelength of the d-line is 587.56 nm, the wavelength of the C-line is 656.27 nm, the wavelength of the F-line is 486.13 nm, and the wavelength of the g-line is 435.84 nm.

[0139] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 This is a diagram showing the structure of an imaging lens according to an embodiment of the present invention, including a cross-section of the optical axis Z. Figure 1 The example shown corresponds to the imaging lens of Embodiment 1, which will be described later. Figure 1 In the image, the left side is the object side and the right side is the image side, showing the state of focusing on an object at infinity. It also shows the on-axis beam 2 and the beam 3 with the maximum angle of view.

[0140] exist Figure 1 The illustration shows an example assuming an imaging lens is used in a camera device, with a parallel flat optical component PP positioned between the imaging lens and the image plane (Sim). The optical component PP is assumed to be a component such as various filters and / or cover glass. These filters include, for example, low-pass filters, infrared cutoff filters, and filters that cut off specific wavelength regions. The optical component PP may be a component without refractive power, or it may be a structure in which the optical component PP is omitted.

[0141] The imaging lens of this invention is a fixed-focus lens, which comprises, sequentially along the optical axis Z from the object side to the image side, a first lens group G1 with positive refractive power and a second lens group G2 with refractive power. Furthermore, the aperture St is positioned further to the image side than the second lens from the object side. By setting the refractive power of the first lens group G1 to positive, it is advantageous to shorten the overall length of the lens.

[0142] The imaging lens of the present invention may further include a lens group on the image side of the second lens group G2. Furthermore, in this specification, "lens group" refers to a component of the imaging lens, which includes at least one lens separated by an air gap that changes during focusing. During focusing, the lens group is moved or fixed as a unit, and the spacing between the lenses within a lens group remains constant.

[0143] As an example, Figure 1 The imaging lens shown includes, from the object side, a first lens group G1, an aperture St, a second lens group G2, and a third lens group G3. Figure 1 The aperture stop St shown indicates its position on the optical axis, not its shape. Figure 1 In the imaging lens of the present invention, as an example, the first lens group G1 includes seven lenses L1a to L1g sequentially from the object side, the second lens group G2 includes five lenses L2a to L2e sequentially from the object side, and the third lens group G3 includes one lens L3a. However, in the imaging lens of the present invention, the number of lenses constituting each lens group may also be different. Figure 1 The number of examples shown.

[0144] In the imaging lens of the present invention, the configuration is such that when focusing from an object at infinity to a closer object, the interval between the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2 changes, while the mutual intervals of all lenses in the first lens group and all lenses in the second lens group remain constant. Here, "constant mutual intervals during focusing" means that the mutual intervals remain unchanged during focusing. By setting the structure such that the intervals between the lens groups change during focusing, compared to a structure where the entire imaging lens moves as a whole for focusing, variations in image plane curvature during focusing can be suppressed. Here, "moves as a whole" means moving simultaneously in the same direction by the same amount.

[0145] exist Figure 1 In an imaging lens, as an example, when focusing from an object at infinity to the nearest object, the first lens group G1 and the third lens group G3 are fixed relative to the image plane Sim, while the second lens group G2 moves along the optical axis Z towards the object side. That is, in Figure 1 In the imaging lens, the lens group that moves during focusing (hereinafter referred to as the focusing lens group) includes the second lens group G2. Figure 1 The horizontal left arrow on the lower side of the second lens group G2 indicates that the second lens group G2 moves towards the object side when focusing from an object at infinity to the nearest object.

[0146] The imaging lens is configured such that the combined refractive power of all lenses located on the object side, beyond the aperture St, is positive. Furthermore, the imaging lens is configured to include at least one LA positive lens and at least one LB lens on the object side, beyond the aperture St. The LA lens is a positive lens positioned on the object side beyond the aperture St, satisfying the following conditions (1) and (2) when the refractive index of the LA positive lens relative to the d-line is set to NdA and the dispersion coefficient of the LA positive lens relative to the d-line reference is set to vdA.

[0148] 10 < v dA < 35 (2)

[0149] The LB lens is a positive lens that is positioned closer to the object than the aperture St, and whose d-line reference dispersion coefficient is the largest among all positive lenses closer to the object than the aperture St, and satisfies the following condition (3). Here, the d-line reference dispersion coefficient of the LB positive lens LB is set as v dB.

[0150] 57 < v dB < 105 (3)

[0151] exist Figure 1 In the example, lens L1c corresponds to lens LA, and lens L1b corresponds to lens LB.

[0152] By setting it to not be below the lower limit of condition (1), the absolute value of the lens's radius of curvature will not become too small, thus suppressing the generation of spherical aberration. By setting it to not be above the upper limit of condition (1), the lens's specific gravity will not become too large, thus facilitating lightweight design.

[0153] By setting it to not be below the lower limit of condition (2), it is beneficial to properly correct primary color differences. By setting it to not be above the upper limit of condition (2), it is beneficial to properly correct secondary color differences. By satisfying condition (2), it is beneficial to properly correct both primary and secondary color differences.

[0154] By setting it to not be below the lower limit of condition (3), it is beneficial to correct chromatic aberration well, especially on-axis chromatic aberration. By setting it to not be above the upper limit of condition (3), the refractive index of the LB positive lens can be prevented from becoming too low. If a positive lens is made of a material with a low refractive index, spherical aberration and coma are easily generated, but by setting it to not be above the upper limit of condition (3), the generation of spherical aberration and coma can be suppressed.

[0155] In the imaging lens of the present invention, a high-refractive-index and high-dispersion LA lens LA, satisfying conditions (1) and (2), is disposed on the object side closer than the aperture St, while a low-dispersion LB positive lens LB, satisfying condition (3), is also disposed. The multiple lenses disposed on the object side closer than the aperture St have positive refractive power as a whole. By disposing of the LA positive lens LA, which is made of a material satisfying conditions (1) and (2), a secondary chromatic aberration correction effect can be obtained. By controlling the amount of chromatic aberration generated by the LA lens LA and the LB positive lens LB, a balance between primary and secondary chromatic aberration can be maintained. Furthermore, by disposing of the positive lens, which is made of a high-refractive-index material satisfying condition (1), the absolute value of the radius of curvature of each positive lens can be prevented from becoming too small. As a result, chromatic aberration and monochromatic aberrations such as spherical aberration and coma can be easily and evenly corrected.

[0156] To obtain better characteristics, the LA lens LA preferably satisfies at least one of the following conditions (1-1), (1-2), (2-1), (2-2) and (2-3).

[0157] 1.88 < NdA < 2.15 (1-1)

[0158] 1.91 < NdA < 2.15 (1-2)

[0159] 13.5 < v dA < 31 (2-1)

[0160] 14<ν dA<28 (2-2)

[0161] 14.5 < v dA < 22 (2-3)

[0162] To obtain better characteristics, the LB positive lens preferably satisfies the following condition (3-1), and more preferably satisfies the following condition (3-2).

[0163] 62 < v dB < 92 (3-1)

[0164] 66 < v dB < 88 (3-2)

[0165] Furthermore, when the dispersion coefficient of the d-line reference of the LA lens LA is set to v dA, and the partial dispersion ratio between the g-line and F-line of the LA lens LA is set to θgFA, it is preferable to satisfy the following conditional expression (17). By setting it to not be below the lower limit of conditional expression (17), insufficient secondary chromatic aberration correction can be suppressed. By setting it to not be above the upper limit of conditional expression (17), excessive secondary chromatic aberration correction can be suppressed. To obtain even better characteristics, it is more preferable to satisfy the following conditional expression (17-1).

[0166] 0.01<θgFA+0.00162×v dA-0.64159<0.06 (17)

[0167] 0.015<θgFA+0.00162×v dA-0.64159<0.055 (17-1)

[0168] The condition (17) is θgFA+0.00162×v dA-0.64159, which is expressed by the following formula: ΔθgFA.

[0169] ΔθgFA=θgFA-(-0.00162×v dA+0.64159)

[0170] ΔθgFA represents the anomalous dispersion of the material used in the LA positive lens LA; the larger the value, the higher the anomalous dispersion. Anomalous dispersion can be considered using an orthogonal coordinate system with the dispersion coefficient vd (horizontal axis as reference to the d-line) and the partial dispersion ratio θgF (vertical axis as reference to the g-line and F-line as reference to the y-line). In this orthogonal coordinate system, the straight line passing through the points (vd, θgF) = (60.49, 0.5436) and (vd, θgF) = (36.26, 0.5828) serves as the baseline. The deviation from this baseline indicates the degree of anomalous dispersion. ΔθgFA represents the deviation of the partial dispersion ratio from this baseline. Furthermore, the definition of the above deviation is based on the definition of anomalous dispersion by OHARAIN C.

[0171] Similarly, when the partial dispersion ratio between the g-line and F-line of the LB lens LB is set to θgFB, it is preferable to satisfy the following conditional expression (18). θgFB + 0.00162 × v dA - 0.64159 in conditional expression (18) represents the anomalous dispersion of the material used for the LB positive lens LB; the larger this value, the higher the anomalous dispersion. By setting it to not be below the lower limit of conditional expression (18), chromatic aberration, especially on-axis chromatic aberration, is easily corrected. By setting it to not be above the upper limit of conditional expression (18), materials other than low-refractive-index materials can be selected, thus preventing the absolute value of the lens's radius of curvature from becoming too small. Therefore, spherical aberration and coma are easily corrected. By satisfying conditional expression (18), chromatic aberration, spherical aberration, and coma are easily and evenly corrected. To obtain even better characteristics, it is more preferable to satisfy the following conditional expression (18-1).

[0172] 0.01<θgFB+0.00162×ν dB-0.64159<0.05 (18)

[0173] 0.012<θgFB+0.00162×v dB-0.64159<0.035 (18-1)

[0174] Hereinafter, other preferred structures and achievable structures of the imaging lens of the present invention will be described. Preferably, during focusing, the first lens group G1 is fixed relative to the image plane Sim, and the first lens group G1 includes at least one LA positive lens LA. The reason is as follows: If an LA positive lens LA made of a high refractive index and highly dispersed material is arranged in the focusing lens group, the variation of chromatic aberration and spherical aberration is likely to increase during focusing. Therefore, it is preferable to arrange it in the first lens group that does not move during focusing. Alternatively, if the LA lens LA is arranged in the focusing lens group, in order to counteract the aberrations generated by the LA positive lens LA, a negative lens needs to be further arranged in the focusing lens group, which would lead to a larger focusing lens group. Considering the above, more preferably, during focusing, the first lens group G1 is fixed relative to the image plane Sim, and the first lens group G1 includes all LA lenses LA.

[0175] Preferably, the imaging lens includes at least one LC lens LC on the object side, which is closer to the aperture St than the aperture St. The LC lens LC is a positive lens that is positioned on the object side, has the largest or second largest d-line reference dispersion coefficient among all positive lenses on the object side, and satisfies the following condition (6). Here, the d-line reference dispersion coefficient of the LC positive lens LC is set as vdC.

[0176] 57<v dC<102 (6)

[0177] Figure 1The image shows an example where lens L1d corresponds to an LC positive lens LC.

[0178] By setting it to not be below the lower limit of condition (6), chromatic aberration, especially on-axis chromatic aberration, can be well corrected. By setting it to not be above the upper limit of condition (6), the refractive index of the LC positive lens LC will not become too low, thus suppressing the generation of spherical aberration and coma. By having an LB lens LB made of a low-dispersion material satisfying condition (3) and an LC positive lens LC made of a low-dispersion material satisfying condition (6) on the object side of the imaging lens, which is closer to the aperture St than the aperture St, chromatic aberration and spherical aberration can be well corrected. Compared with a structure where the positive lens made of a low-dispersion material is only an LB positive lens LB, the refractive power of the LB positive lens LB can be reduced in a structure with both an LB positive lens LB and an LC positive lens LC. As a result, the absolute value of the radius of curvature of the LB lens LB will not become too small, thus suppressing the generation of spherical aberration. Furthermore, based on the refractive index characteristics and dispersion coefficient characteristics of the optical material, the refractive index of the LC lens LC can be made higher than that of the LB lens LB. Therefore, when the imaging lens has two positive lenses made of low-dispersion material closer to the object side than the aperture St, compared with the structure where both lenses are LB lenses, the absolute value of the radius of curvature of the two positive lenses can be increased in the structure where one LB positive lens is used and one LC positive lens is used, which is beneficial to suppressing the generation of spherical aberration.

[0179] To obtain better characteristics, the LC positive lens preferably satisfies the following condition (6-1), and more preferably satisfies the following condition (6-2).

[0180] 62<ν dC<88 (6-1)

[0181] 66 < v dC < 80 (6-2)

[0182] When the minimum refractive index of all positive lenses closer to the object side than the aperture St relative to the d-line is set to Ndfm, it is preferable to satisfy the following conditional expression (7). By setting it to be below the lower limit of conditional expression (7), the absolute value of the radius of curvature of the lens will not become too small, thus suppressing the generation of spherical aberration. Furthermore, the positive lenses arranged in the first lens group G1 with a large lens diameter will not become too thick, thus facilitating the miniaturization of the lens system. By setting it to be above the upper limit of conditional expression (7), low-dispersion materials can be selected, which is beneficial for chromatic aberration correction. To obtain even better characteristics, it is more preferable to satisfy the following conditional expression (7-1).

[0183] 1.46 < Ndfm < 1.72 (7)

[0184] 1.52 < Ndfm < 1.68 (7-1)

[0185] Preferably, the imaging lens includes at least two positive lenses on the image side further than the aperture St. When the average refractive index of all positive lenses on the image side further than the aperture St relative to the d-line is set to Ndpr, the following condition (8) is satisfied. By arranging two or more positive lenses on the image side further than the aperture St, astigmatism and image plane curvature can be well corrected. By setting it to not be below the lower limit of condition (8), the absolute value of the lens radius of curvature will not become too small, thus making it easy to effectively correct astigmatism and image plane curvature. By setting it to not be above the upper limit of condition (8), materials other than highly dispersed materials can be selected, which is beneficial for chromatic aberration correction. To obtain even better characteristics, it is more preferable to satisfy the following condition (8-1), and even more preferable to satisfy the following condition (8-2).

[0186] 1.77 < Ndpr < 2.15 (8)

[0187] 1.81 < Ndpr < 2.1 (8-1)

[0188] 1.87 < Ndpr < 2.05 (8-2)

[0189] Preferably, the first lens group G1 includes at least two positive lenses and at least two negative lenses. In this case, spherical aberration, coma, and on-axis chromatic aberration can be well corrected, and aberration variations accompanying changes in the spacing between the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2 during focusing can be easily reduced.

[0190] Preferably, three positive lenses are arranged consecutively within the first lens group. In this case, the height of the edge rays on the axis can be gradually reduced by the consecutive arrangement of three positive lenses, thus suppressing the generation of spherical aberration. To further suppress the generation of spherical aberration, it is preferable to arrange four positive lenses consecutively within the first lens group.

[0191] Preferably, the first lens group G1 includes at least two negative lenses. When the average of the d-line dispersion coefficients of two negative lenses selected from the negative lenses included in the first lens group G1 in ascending order of d-line dispersion coefficient is set to v dn 1, the following condition (4) is satisfied. In addition, the dispersion coefficients of the "two negative lenses selected in ascending order of dispersion coefficient" can be the same. Specifically, when there are two or more negative lenses with the minimum dispersion coefficient of all negative lenses in the first lens group, this minimum value is v dn 1. When there is only one negative lens with the minimum dispersion coefficient of all negative lenses in the first lens group, the average of this minimum value and the second smallest dispersion coefficient among all negative lenses in the first lens group is v dn 1. In addition, to avoid redundant explanation, the "d-line dispersion coefficient" is simply referred to as "dispersion coefficient" in the above. By setting it to not be below the lower limit of condition (4), it is beneficial to correct secondary chromatic aberration well. By setting it to not exceed the upper limit of condition (4), it is beneficial to correct primary color differences well. By satisfying condition (4), it is beneficial to correct primary and secondary color differences evenly. To obtain even better characteristics, it is more preferable to satisfy the following condition (4-1).

[0192] 15 < v dn1 < 28 (4)

[0193] 16 < v dn1 < 25 (4-1)

[0194] Preferably, the first lens group G1 includes at least two negative lenses. When the average of the d-line dispersion coefficients of two negative lenses selected from the first lens group G1 in ascending order of d-line dispersion coefficient is set as v dn1, and the average of the partial dispersion ratios between the g-line and F-line of two negative lenses selected from the first lens group G1 in ascending order of d-line dispersion coefficient is set as θgFn1, the following condition (19) is satisfied. Similar to condition (4), in condition (19), the dispersion coefficients of the two negative lenses selected in ascending order of d-line dispersion coefficient can also be the same. Similar to θgFA+0.00162×v dA-0.64159 in conditional (17), θgFn1+0.00162×v dn1-0.64159 in conditional (19) represents the average value of the anomalous dispersion of two negative lenses selected in ascending order of dispersion coefficient among the negative lenses arranged in the first lens group G1. The larger this value, the higher the anomalous dispersion. By setting it to not be below the lower limit of conditional (19), primary chromatic aberration can be easily and well corrected. By setting it to not be above the upper limit of conditional (19), secondary chromatic aberration can be easily and well corrected. By satisfying conditional (19), primary and secondary chromatic aberration can be easily and evenly corrected. To obtain even better characteristics, it is more preferable to satisfy the following conditional (19-1).

[0195] 0.01<θgFn1+0.00162×v dn1-0.64159<0.05 (19)

[0196] 0.016<θgFn1+0.00162×v dn1-0.64159<0.042 (19-1)

[0197] Preferably, the first lens group G1 includes at least three negative lenses. In this case, chromatic aberration is easily and well corrected, and it is also beneficial for correcting image plane curvature.

[0198] When the focal length of the first lens group G1 is set to f1 and the focal length of the imaging lens in the state of focusing on an object at infinity is set to f, it is preferable to satisfy the following conditional expression (10). By setting it to not be below the lower limit of conditional expression (10), the refractive power of the first lens group G1 will not become too strong, thus facilitating good correction of various aberrations, especially spherical aberration. By setting it to not be above the upper limit of conditional expression (10), the refractive power of the first lens group G1 will not become too weak, thus facilitating a shorter overall lens length. To obtain even better characteristics, it is more preferable to satisfy the following conditional expression (10-1), even more preferable to satisfy the following conditional expression (10-2), and even more preferable to satisfy the following conditional expression (10-3).

[0199] 0.5 < f1 / f < 3.5 (10)

[0200] 0.7 < f1 / f < 3.3 (10-1)

[0201] 1.4 < f1 / f < 3.2 (10-2)

[0202] 1.8 < f1 / f < 2.9 (10⁻³)

[0203] The first lens group G1 can be configured as follows: sequentially comprising, from the object-side closest, a first unit Gs1 with negative refractive power and a second unit Gs2 with positive refractive power, separated from the first unit Gs1 by the maximum air gap on the optical axis within the first lens group. The first unit Gs1 comprises at least one lens, and the second unit Gs2 comprises either a single lens or a combined lens. In this configuration, the first unit Gs1 and the second unit Gs2 can form a structure similar to a wide-angle conversion lens, easily expanding the viewing angle while suppressing sagittal coma. Figure 1 In the example, the first unit Gs1 includes lens L1a, and the second unit Gs2 includes lens L1b.

[0204] In the structure of the first lens group G1 having the first unit Gs1 and the second unit Gs2 described above, when the focal length of the imaging lens in the state of focusing on an object at infinity is set to f, and the combined focal length of all lenses in the imaging lens in the state of focusing on an object at infinity that are closer to the image side than the second unit Gs2 is set to fm, it is preferable to satisfy the following conditional expression (16). By setting it to not be below the lower limit of conditional expression (16), it is beneficial to suppress coma aberration generated by the first unit Gs1 and the second unit Gs2. By setting it to not be above the upper limit of conditional expression (16), it is beneficial to suppress aberrations generated by lenses that are closer to the image side than the second unit Gs2, especially coma aberration. To obtain even better characteristics, it is more preferable to satisfy the following conditional expression (16-1).

[0205] 0.7 < f / fm < 0.98 (16)

[0206] 0.75 < f / fm < 0.95 (16-1)

[0207] Preferably, when the first lens group G1 has the aforementioned first unit Gs1 and second unit Gs2, the first unit Gs1 includes a negative lens and the second unit Gs2 includes a positive lens. In this case, the number of lenses in the first unit Gs1 and the second unit Gs2, which have large lens diameters, is reduced, thus facilitating the miniaturization and weight reduction of the imaging lens.

[0208] Preferably, in the entire system, one of the lens components closest to the object and the second lens component from the object side has negative refractive power, and the other lens component has positive refractive power. When focused on an object at infinity, the on-axis beam 2 emitted from the image-side lens of the lens component with negative refractive power is divergent. Furthermore, a lens component represents either a single lens or a combined lens. Figure 1 In the example, the lens component closest to the object side of the entire system, namely lens L1a, has negative refractive power, while the second lens component from the object side, namely lens L1b, has positive refractive power. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the beam diameter of the on-axis beam 2 between lens L1a and lens L1b, emitted from lens L1a towards the image side, increases as it moves towards the image side, becoming a divergent beam.

[0209] As described above, by arranging a lens component with negative refractive power closer to the object, the angle of the principal ray with the maximum viewing angle emitted from this lens component towards the image side relative to the optical axis Z can be reduced, thus easily suppressing sagittal coma. Furthermore, by arranging a lens component with negative refractive power within the first lens group, the excessive positive refractive power of the first lens group G1 can be prevented, suppressing spherical aberration and image plane curvature. However, if negative refractive power is continuously arranged so that both the lens component closest to the object side and the second lens component from the object side have negative refractive power, the entire lens system becomes large. Therefore, it is preferable that one of the two lens components has negative refractive power and the other has positive refractive power. Furthermore, by making the on-axis beam 2 emitted from the lens component with negative refractive power diverge, a structure that temporarily expands the beam and then refocuses it can be adopted in the first lens group G1 with positive refractive power, which is beneficial for suppressing sagittal coma.

[0210] Preferably, at least one of the lens closest to the object and the second lens from the object side in the entire system is a negative lens with a concave lens surface on the object side. In this way, by placing the negative lens closer to the object, the angle of the principal ray of maximum viewing angle emitted from the negative lens to the image side relative to the optical axis Z can be reduced, thus easily suppressing sagittal coma. Furthermore, by making the object-side lens surface of the aforementioned negative lens concave, it is beneficial to correct spherical aberration.

[0211] Preferably, the lens surface on the object side of the lens closest to the object in the entire system is concave. In this case, it is beneficial to correct spherical aberration.

[0212] Preferably, the lens closest to the object in the entire system is a negative lens. In this case, the angle of the principal ray with the maximum viewing angle emitted from the lens closest to the object towards the image side relative to the optical axis Z can be reduced, thus making it easier to suppress sagittal coma.

[0213] The imaging lens can be configured such that, sequentially from the object-side closest to the system, it includes a single lens with negative refractive power, a single lens with positive refractive power, and a single lens with positive refractive power. By making the lens closest to the object a negative lens, as described above, sagittal coma is easily suppressed. Furthermore, by continuously arranging positive lenses with the lens closest to the object, the height of the axial fringe rays can be gradually reduced, thus suppressing spherical aberration. Moreover, by using only one negative lens among the three lenses from the first to the third closest to the object, the large size of the lens system can be prevented.

[0214] The second lens group G2 can be configured as a lens group with positive refractive power. In this case, from the moment the light from the object enters the first lens group G1 with positive refractive power until it exits from the second lens group G2, the height of the axial edge rays can be gradually reduced, thus suppressing the generation of spherical aberration even when the F-number is small.

[0215] When the focal length of the first lens group G1 is set to f1 and the focal length of the second lens group G2 is set to f2, it is preferable to satisfy the following conditional expression (13). By setting it to not be below the lower limit of conditional expression (13), the refractive power of the first lens group G1 can be prevented from becoming too strong. By setting it to not be above the upper limit of conditional expression (13), the refractive power of the second lens group G2 can be prevented from becoming too strong. By satisfying conditional expression (13), the aberrations generated by the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2 can be easily suppressed. In order to obtain better characteristics, it is more preferable to satisfy the following conditional expression (13-1), even more preferable to satisfy the following conditional expression (13-2), and even more preferable to satisfy the following conditional expression (13-3).

[0216] 1 < f1 / f2 < 5 (13)

[0217] 1.2 < f1 / f2 < 4.4 (13-1)

[0218] 2.3 < f1 < f2 < 4.2 (13-2)

[0219] 2.5 < f1 / f2 < 4 (13-3)

[0220] Preferably, the second lens group G2 includes at least two positive lenses and at least two negative lenses. In this case, various aberrations, especially image plane curvature, can be well corrected, and aberration variations accompanying changes in the spacing between the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2 during focusing can be easily reduced.

[0221] Preferably, the second lens group G2 includes at least two positive lenses and at least three negative lenses. In this case, aberrations can be well corrected, and aberration variations during focusing can be easily suppressed.

[0222] Regarding the movement of each lens group during focusing, it is preferable that, during focusing, the first lens group G1 is fixed relative to the image plane Sim, while the second lens group G2 moves. In a lens system with a large aperture ratio, the diameter of the lens closest to the object tends to increase, thus increasing its weight. Therefore, assuming a structure where the first lens group G1 moves during focusing, several inconveniences occur. First, the heavy lens must be moved during focusing, making high-speed autofocus difficult. Furthermore, moving the heavy lens requires a large motor with high torque, resulting in a larger overall lens assembly. Moreover, the total length of the lens changes with the movement of the lens closest to the object with the largest diameter, causing a shift in the center of gravity of the imaging lens during shooting. For these reasons, an internal focusing or rear focusing method is preferred. Furthermore, a structure where the first lens group G1 does not move during focusing also provides the advantage of easily ensuring the robustness of the lens assembly.

[0223] Preferably, the aperture St is positioned between the lens groups, or the aperture St is positioned within a lens group that is fixed relative to the image plane Sim during focusing. That is, preferably, the aperture St is not included in the focusing lens group. By excluding the aperture unit from the focusing lens group, the focusing lens group can be made lighter, and high-speed autofocus can be achieved. Furthermore, if the focusing lens group can be made lighter, a large, high-torque motor is unnecessary, thus facilitating the miniaturization and lightening of the entire lens system.

[0224] Considering the above, preferably, with emphasis on miniaturization and lightweight design, the aperture St is configured such that the aperture group G1 and the second lens group G2 are positioned between them. During focusing, the first lens group G1 and the aperture St are fixed relative to the image plane Sim, while the second lens group G2 moves.

[0225] Preferably, there is only one lens group that moves during focusing. By using only one lens group that moves during focusing, the structure can be simplified, and the lens device can be miniaturized and made lighter. In lens systems with large aperture ratios, the depth of focus is extremely shallow, and the performance changes associated with lens tilting and / or axial offset can easily become large. In particular, in focusing lens groups that are movable lens groups, it is structurally impossible to make lens tilting and axial offset completely zero; therefore, it is preferable to have a smaller number of movable lens groups.

[0226] As described above, preferably, during focusing, the first lens group G1 is fixed relative to the image plane Sim, and preferably, only one lens group moves during focusing. Considering this, preferably, only the second lens group G2 moves during focusing.

[0227] Preferably, when the second lens group G2 moves during focusing, the number of lenses included in the second lens group G2 is 7 or less. By reducing the number of lenses in the second lens group G2, which serves as the focusing lens group, the focusing lens group can be made lighter, thus facilitating high-speed autofocus. Furthermore, if the focusing lens group can be made lighter, a large, high-torque motor is unnecessary, thus facilitating the miniaturization and lightening of the entire lens system. Considering this, in the structure where the second lens group G2 moves during focusing, it is more preferable that the number of lenses included in the second lens group G2 is 6 or less, and even more preferably 5 or less.

[0228] Preferably, in the structure where the second lens group G2 moves during focusing, the second lens group G2 includes at least one positive lens, and the following condition (9) is satisfied when the average refractive index of all positive lenses in the second lens group relative to the d-line is set to Nd2p. By setting it to not be below the lower limit of condition (9), astigmatism and image plane curvature can be easily and well corrected. By setting it to not be above the upper limit of condition (9), the specific gravity of the lens material will not become too large, thus suppressing the weight increase of the focusing lens group. Furthermore, materials other than highly dispersed materials can be selected, thus suppressing the variation of chromatic aberration when the focusing lens moves. To obtain better characteristics, it is more preferable to satisfy the following condition (9-1), even more preferable to satisfy the following condition (9-2), and even more preferable to satisfy the following condition (9-3).

[0229] 1.7 < Nd2p < 2.2 (9)

[0230] 1.77 < Nd2p < 2.15 (9-1)

[0231] 1.81 < Nd2p < 2.1 (9-2)

[0232] 1.87 < Nd2p < 2.05 (9-3)

[0233] Preferably, when the second lens group G2 moves during focusing, the second lens group G2 includes at least two joint lenses. In this case, variations in chromatic aberration during focusing can be minimized.

[0234] Preferably, in the structure where the second lens group G2 moves during focusing, when the focal length of the second lens group G2 is set to f2 and the focal length of the imaging lens in the state of focusing on an object at infinity is set to f, the following condition (12) is satisfied. By setting it to not be below the lower limit of condition (12), the refractive power of the second lens group G2 will not become too strong, thus easily suppressing the generation of various aberrations generated by the second lens group G2. By setting it to not be above the upper limit of condition (12), the amount of movement of the second lens group G2 during focusing can be reduced, thus facilitating the miniaturization of the lens system. To obtain better characteristics, it is more preferable to satisfy the following condition (12-1), even more preferable to satisfy the following condition (12-2), and even more preferable to satisfy the following condition (12-3).

[0235] 0.3 < |f2| / f < 2.2 (12)

[0236] 0.4 < |f²| / f < 1.9 (12-1)

[0237] 0.45 < |f²| / f < 1.2 (12-2)

[0238] 0.5 < |f²| / f < 1 (12-3)

[0239] Preferably, in the structure where the second lens group G2 moves during focusing, the following condition (14) is satisfied when the lateral magnification of the second lens group G2 is set to β2 when focusing on an object at infinity, the combined lateral magnification of all lenses positioned on the image side of the second lens group G2 when focusing on an object at infinity with lenses positioned on the image side of the second lens group G2 are set to βr, and βr is not set to 1 when lenses are positioned on the image side of the second lens group G2. The condition (14) is |(1-β2) 2 )×βr 2 | represents the amount of movement of the image plane position relative to the second lens group G2 during focusing, and is referred to as the focusing sensitivity. By setting it to not be below the lower limit of condition (14), the amount of movement of the second lens group G2 during focusing can be reduced, thus facilitating the miniaturization of the lens system. By setting it to not be above the upper limit of condition (14), the stopping accuracy of the focusing lens group during focusing can be tightened. Furthermore, by setting it to not be above the upper limit of condition (14), it is not necessary to increase the refractive power of the second lens group G2 for the sake of focusing sensitivity. Therefore, spherical aberration and coma can be easily corrected. To obtain better characteristics, it is more preferable to satisfy the following condition (14-1), and even more preferable to satisfy the following condition (14-2).

[0240] 0.3 < |(1-β2) 2 )×βr 2|<1.5 (14)

[0241] 0.4 < |(1-β2) 2 )×βr 2 |<1.4 (14-1)

[0242] 0.6 < |(1-β2) 2 )×βr 2 |<1 (14-2)

[0243] like Figure 1 As illustrated in the examples, preferably, the imaging lens of the present invention, from the object side to the image side, comprises only three lens groups: a first lens group G1 fixed relative to the image plane Sim during focusing, a second lens group G2 movable during focusing, and a third lens group G3 comprising two or fewer lenses and fixed relative to the image plane Sim during focusing. Alternatively, as illustrated in the embodiments described later, preferably, the imaging lens of the present invention, from the object side to the image side, comprises only two lens groups: a first lens group G1 fixed relative to the image plane Sim during focusing and a second lens group G2 movable during focusing. The effect of the structure where the first lens group G1 is fixed relative to the image plane Sim during focusing and the second lens group G2 is movable is as described above. When no lens is arranged further on the image side than the second lens group G2, it is easy to ensure the travel of the second lens group G2, which is the focusing lens group, while suppressing the increase in the total length of the lens. Alternatively, even when a lens is positioned further on the image side than the second lens group G2, by setting the number of lenses to two or fewer, it is easy to ensure the travel of the second lens group G2, which serves as the focusing lens group, while suppressing an increase in the overall lens length. This makes it easier to increase the maximum magnification. If, assuming that multiple lenses are positioned further on the image side than the second lens group G2 while maintaining the overall lens length, the travel of the second lens group G2 will decrease, potentially reducing the maximum magnification. Alternatively, if the refractive power of the second lens group G2 is enhanced to achieve the same maximum magnification while maintaining the overall lens length, the aberrations generated by the second lens group G2 will increase, especially spherical aberration and image plane curvature.

[0244] Preferably, the imaging lens comprises 13 or fewer lenses, more preferably 12 or fewer. By using a small number of lenses to form the imaging lens, miniaturization and weight reduction can be achieved.

[0245] Preferably, the number of lenses positioned on the object side closer to the aperture St is 8 or less, more preferably 7 or less. Lenses positioned on the object side closer to the aperture St tend to have larger outer diameters and are heavier, therefore it is preferable to minimize the number of lenses positioned on the object side closer to the aperture St.

[0246] Preferably, when the distance on the optical axis from the lens surface closest to the object to the aperture St in the state of focusing on an object at infinity is set to Tf, and the sum of the distance on the optical axis from the lens surface closest to the object to the lens surface closest to the image in the state of focusing on an object to the back focal length measured in air-converted distance is set to TL, the following conditional expression (15) is satisfied. The first lens group G1 arranged on the object side has positive refractive power, so by setting it to not be below the lower limit of conditional expression (15), the height of the light rays arranged in the lens arranged on the image side of the aperture St can be further reduced, thereby helping to suppress the generation of various aberrations in the lens arranged on the image side of the aperture St. Furthermore, by setting it to not be below the lower limit of conditional expression (15), it is easy to arrange the number of lenses required for the correction of spherical aberration and on-axis chromatic aberration, etc., on the object side of the aperture St. By setting the condition to not exceed the upper limit of condition (15), it is possible to suppress the large diameter of the lens positioned closer to the object side than the aperture St, thus making it easier to miniaturize and lighten the entire lens system. To obtain better characteristics, it is more preferable to satisfy the following condition (15-1), and even more preferable to satisfy the following condition (15-2).

[0247] 0.2 < Tf / TL < 0.65 (15)

[0248] 0.4 < Tf / TL < 0.64 (15-1)

[0249] 0.48 < Tf / TL < 0.61 (15-2)

[0250] Preferably, when the sum of the distance along the optical axis from the lens surface closest to the object to the lens surface closest to the image, when focusing on an object at infinity, and the back focal length (measured in air distance) is set to TL, the F-number of the imaging lens when focusing on an object at infinity is set to FNo, and the focal length of the imaging lens when focusing on an object at infinity is set to f, the following conditional expression (5) is satisfied. By setting it to not be below the lower limit of conditional expression (5), it is beneficial to correct various aberrations well. More specifically, it is easy to configure the optimal number of lenses for correcting various aberrations, thus benefiting to obtain higher imaging performance. By setting it to not be above the upper limit of conditional expression (5), it is beneficial to suppress the enlargement of the lens system. To obtain better characteristics, it is more preferable to satisfy the following conditional expression (5-1), and even more preferable to satisfy the following conditional expression (5-2).

[0251] 1.5 < TL × FNo / f < 5 (5)

[0252] 1.8 < TL × FNo / f < 3.5 (5-1)

[0253] 2 < TL × FNo / f < 3.2 (5-2)

[0254] Preferably, when the maximum half-angle of the imaging lens when focusing on an object at infinity is set to ωmax and the F-value of the imaging lens when focusing on an object at infinity is set to FNo, the following condition (11) is satisfied. If condition (11) is considered under the premise of maintaining a small F-value, the smaller the value of 1 / {tan(ωmax)×FNo} in condition (11), the wider the lens system will become an optical system with a wider angle, and the larger the value, the longer the lens system will become an optical system with a longer focal length. When maintaining a small F-value while being below the lower limit of condition (11), it will be difficult to correct sagittal coma, and in order to correct sagittal coma, the number of lenses in the first lens group G1 with a large outer diameter will increase, which may make the lens system larger. On the other hand, when maintaining a small F-value while being above the upper limit of condition (11), the diameter of the incident pupil will increase, and the diameter of the entire lens system will increase, which may make the lens system larger. Alternatively, to correct the on-axis chromatic aberration that arises as the lens system becomes a longer focal length optical system, it may be necessary to increase the overall length of the lens. Therefore, satisfying condition (11) is advantageous in balancing a small F-number and miniaturization of the lens system. For even better characteristics, satisfying condition (11-1) is more preferable, and satisfying condition (11-2) is even more preferable.

[0255] 1.8<1 / {tan(ωmax)×FNo}<4.5 (11)

[0256] 2.4<1 / {tan(ωmax)×FNo}<4.2 (11-1)

[0257] 2.8<1 / {tan(ωmax)×FNo}<3.8 (11-2)

[0274] The above-described preferred and feasible structures can be combined in any way, and are preferably selectively adopted according to the required specifications. According to the technology of the present invention, a suitable imaging lens with a small F-number and well-corrected aberrations can be achieved.

[0275] Next, a numerical embodiment of the imaging lens of the present invention will be described.

[0276] [Example 1]

[0277] The cross-sectional structure of the imaging lens in Example 1 is shown below. Figure 1 The illustrated method and structure are as described above, therefore repeated descriptions are omitted here. The imaging lens of Embodiment 1, from the object side, sequentially includes a first lens group G1 with positive refractive power, an aperture St, a second lens group G2 with positive refractive power, and a third lens group G3 with positive refractive power. When focusing from an object at infinity to the nearest object, the first lens group G1 and the third lens group G3 are fixed relative to the image plane Sim, while the second lens group G2 moves along the optical axis Z towards the object side. The first lens group G1, from the object side, sequentially includes seven lenses L1a to L1g. The second lens group G2, from the object side, sequentially includes five lenses L2a to L2e. The third lens group G3 includes one lens, L3a.

[0278] Regarding the imaging lens of Embodiment 1, basic lens data is shown in Table 1, specifications in Table 2, variable surface spacing in Table 3, and aspherical coefficients in Table 4. In Table 1, the Sn column shows the surface numbering when the surface closest to the object side is designated as surface 1 and the numbering increases sequentially towards the image side; the R column shows the radius of curvature of each surface; and the D column shows the surface spacing along the optical axis between each surface and its image-side adjacent surface. Furthermore, the Nd column shows the refractive index of each component relative to the d-line; the vd column shows the dispersion coefficient of each component based on the d-line; and the θgF column shows the partial dispersion ratio between the g-line and F-line of each component.

[0279] In Table 1, the radius of curvature of the convex surface facing the object side is marked positive, and the radius of curvature of the convex surface facing the image side is marked negative. Table 1 also shows the aperture St and optical components PP, with the surface number and the term (St) listed in the surface number column corresponding to the aperture St. The bottom column of D in Table 1 represents the interval between the image-side surface and the image plane Sim. In Table 1, the variable surface interval that changes during focusing is indicated by the notation DD[], with the object-side surface number of that interval marked in [] and recorded in column D.

[0280] Table 2 shows the focal length f, F-value FNo., and maximum full angle of view 2ωmax of the imaging lens. FNo. is the same as FNo used in the above conditional formula. The unit of 2ωmax is degrees. The values ​​shown in Table 2 are based on the d-line when focusing on an object at infinity.

[0281] In Table 3, the variable surface interval values ​​for focusing on an object at infinity and for focusing on an object at a distance of 0.7 m from the image plane Sim are shown in the columns labeled "infinity" and "0.7 m", respectively.

[0282] In Table 1, the surface numbers of aspherical surfaces are marked with an asterisk (*), and the paraxial radius of curvature is recorded in the radius of curvature column. In Table 4, the surface number of the aspherical surface is shown in the Sn column, and the aspherical coefficients for each aspherical surface are shown in the KA and Am columns (m is an integer greater than 3 and varies depending on the surface). The "E±n" (n: integer) values ​​for the aspherical coefficients in Table 4 represent "×10" ±n KA and Am are the aspheric coefficients in the aspheric formula expressed by the following equation.

[0283] Zd=C×h 2 / {1+(1-KA×C 2 ×h 2 ) 1 / 2}+∑Am×h m

[0284] in,

[0285] Zd: Aspherical depth (the length of the perpendicular line from a point on the aspherical surface at height h to a plane tangent to the vertex of the aspherical surface and perpendicular to the optical axis);

[0286] h: Height (distance from the optical axis to the lens surface);

[0287] C: The reciprocal of the paraxial radius of curvature;

[0288] KA, Am: Aspheric coefficients

[0289] In aspherical form, ∑ represents the summation related to m.

[0290] In the data in each table, degrees are used as the unit for angles and millimeters as the unit for lengths. Optical systems can be used at both magnified and reduced scales, so other appropriate units can also be used. Furthermore, the values ​​are rounded to a specified number of decimal places in the tables shown below.
