In addition, cameras mounted on mobile bodies such as drones are becoming increasingly popular, and in order to achieve stable photography while moving, a zoom lens that has little change in the position of the center of gravity during zooming is needed.

[0009] PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION

[0010] In the zoom lens described in Patent Document 1, the first lens group moves during zooming, and thus the position of the center of gravity of the zoom lens greatly changes during zooming. In the case where this zoom lens is used as a zoom lens for a camera mounted on a mobile body such as a drone, it is difficult to suppress the change in the position of the center of gravity of the mobile body.

[0011] In the zoom lenses described in Patent Documents 2 and 3, the first lens group is fixed during zooming. However, the amount of movement of the third lens group with respect to the second lens group, or the amount of movement of the fifth lens group with respect to the second lens group during zooming is not appropriate, and thus the position of the center of gravity of the zoom lens greatly changes with the movement of these lens groups. In the case where these zoom lenses are used as zoom lenses for a camera mounted on a mobile body such as a drone, it is also difficult to suppress the change in the position of the center of gravity of the mobile body.

[0015] During zooming, the intervals of the adjacent lens groups change, the first lens group is fixed with respect to the image plane, the third lens group and the fifth lens group move in different directions from the second lens group,

[0016] The zoom lens satisfies the following equation:

[0017] 0.01 < |M3 / M2| < 1.34 ··· (1)

[0057] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a zoom lens and an imaging device according to the present application will be described. However, the zoom lens and the imaging device described hereinafter are one mode of the zoom lens and the imaging device according to the present application, and the zoom lens and the imaging device according to the present application are not limited to the mode described hereinafter.

[0058] 1. Zoom lens

[0059] 1-1. Optical configuration

[0060] The zoom lens has a 1st lens group having positive refractive power, a 2nd lens group having negative refractive power, a 3rd lens group having positive refractive power, a 4th lens group having negative refractive power, and a 5th lens group. By adopting this refractive power configuration, an axial light beam similar in effective diameter is incident on the 3rd lens group, and thus it is possible to correct spherical aberration in the 3rd lens group. Furthermore, when the zoom lens is divided into an object side group and an image side group, the object side group is configured to have positive refractive power and the image side group is configured to have negative refractive power, and thus it is possible to configure a zoom lens of a telephoto type. By this configuration, it is possible to shorten the overall optical length of the zoom lens. At this time, the zoom lens is preferably configured such that the 1st lens group to the 3rd lens group constitute the object side group and the lens groups after the 4th lens group constitute the image side group.

[0061] (1) 1st lens group

[0062] The 1st lens group is the lens group disposed most on the object side in the zoom lens, and has positive refractive power. The 1st lens group is preferably configured by, in order from the object side, a lens having negative refractive power (hereinafter referred to as a negative lens) and a lens having positive refractive power (hereinafter referred to as a positive lens), and thus it is possible to well correct chromatic aberration. In addition, it is more preferable that these two lenses be cemented in order to shorten the overall optical length.

[0063] (2) 2nd lens group

[0064] The 2nd lens group is a lens group disposed on the image side of the 1st lens group, and has a negative refractive power. The 2nd lens group has, in order from the object side, a negative lens, a negative lens, a positive lens, and a negative lens, which are preferable because they easily correct various aberrations. In addition, the lens disposed on the most image side of the 2nd lens group is a negative meniscus lens having a concave surface on the object side, which is preferable in terms of correcting various aberrations within the 2nd lens group.

[0065] (3) 3rd lens group

[0066] The 3rd lens group is a lens group disposed on the image side of the 2nd lens group, and has a positive refractive power. In addition, the 3rd lens group has at least one aspherical surface, which is preferable because it easily achieves weight reduction of the lens. In addition, the 3rd lens group has four or fewer lenses, which is preferable in terms of suppressing the lens diameter of the 3rd lens group and correcting various aberrations.

[0067] (4) 4th lens group

[0068] The 4th lens group is a lens group disposed on the image side of the 3rd lens group, and has a negative refractive power. In addition, the negative meniscus lens having a concave surface on the image side is disposed on the most image side of the 4th lens group, which is preferable in terms of correcting the field curvature of the zoom lens.

[0069] (5) 5th lens group or later

[0070] The 5th lens group is a lens group disposed on the image side of the 4th lens group. In addition, the negative lens having a concave surface on the object side is disposed on the most object side of the 5th lens group, which is preferable because it easily corrects the field curvature of the zoom lens. In addition, the zoom lens can have one or more lens groups disposed on the image side of the 5th lens group. Furthermore, the lenses disposed between the 5th lens group and the image plane are preferably three or fewer in total in terms of simplifying the control of the variation in the center of gravity. In addition, the lens group including at least one positive lens and at least one negative lens is preferable because it easily corrects chromatic aberration.

[0071] (6) aperture stop

[0072] In the zoom lens, the position of the aperture stop is not particularly limited. Here, the aperture stop referred to herein means an aperture stop that defines the beam diameter of the zoom lens, i.e., an aperture stop that defines the F value of the zoom lens. The aperture stop is preferably disposed on the image side of the 2nd lens group. In addition, the aperture stop is preferably disposed on the object side of the 3rd lens group or within the 3rd lens group.

[0073] 1-2. Action

[0074] (1) zooming

[0075] The interval between the adjacent lens groups changes when zooming in the zoom lens. Furthermore, whether or not each lens group moves, the direction of movement, and the amount of movement are not particularly limited, and it is possible for all the lens groups to move along the optical axis when zooming, or for one or more of the lens groups among all the lens groups to be fixed relative to the image plane when zooming. It is preferable in this case to configure such that the interval between the first lens group and the second lens group changes in a manner such that it is larger at the telephoto end than at the wide-angle end when zooming. According to this configuration, it is easy to suppress variation in the position of the center of gravity, and in addition, it is possible to achieve a sufficient zoom ratio. It is preferable to move the second lens group in a manner such that the interval between the first lens group and the second lens group is largest at the telephoto end, in order to easily suppress variation in the position of the center of gravity. In addition, it is preferable for the first lens group to be fixed when zooming in terms of suppressing variation in the position of the center of gravity. It is preferable to move the third lens group and the fifth lens group in different directions from the second lens group, in order to easily suppress variation in the position of the center of gravity. In addition, it is preferable for the second lens group to move toward the image side when zooming in from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end. In addition, with respect to the lens groups after the third lens group, it is preferable for the third lens group and the fifth lens group to move toward the object side, but the direction of movement of the other lens groups is not particularly limited. For example, the fourth lens group can also move toward the image side. However, it is more preferable for all the lens groups after the third lens group to move toward the object side, from the viewpoint of suppressing variation in the position of the center of gravity.

[0076] (2) Focusing

[0077] In this zoom lens, the focusing group moves on the optical axis when focusing on a close-range object from infinity. The focusing group is not particularly limited, and the direction of movement of the focusing group when focusing is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to provide the fourth lens group as the focusing group. In this configuration, the fourth lens group can be configured from lenses having a small diameter, and thus miniaturization and weight reduction of the focusing group can be achieved. Therefore, miniaturization of an actuator or the like for moving the focusing group can be achieved, and compactness of the zoom lens can be achieved. In addition, the zoom lens can achieve miniaturization of the actuator or the like through weight reduction of the focusing group by configuring the fourth lens group from only one lens component. Furthermore, it is more preferable for the zoom lens to configure the fourth lens group from only one lens.

[0078] In addition, in the present specification, among lens components, there are lenses, and cemented lenses in which a plurality of the lenses are integrated without an air gap. Among the lenses, there are single lenses, and composite lenses in which a single lens and resin are integrated without an air gap. A single lens is configured from one kind of material. Specifically, one cemented lens in which two single lenses are cemented is counted as one lens component, and counted as two lenses. A lens (single lens and composite lens) is counted as one lens component, and counted as one lens. Here, a single lens indicates a spherical lens and an aspherical lens (including a composite aspherical lens).

[0079] 1-3. Mathematical expressions

[0080] The zoom lens preferably adopts the above-described configuration and satisfies at least one of the mathematical expressions described below.

[0081] 1-3-1. Expression (1)

[0082] 0.01 < |M3 / M2| < 1.34 • • • (1)

[0083] wherein

[0084] M2: movement amount of the second lens group from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end

[0085] M3: movement amount of the third lens group from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end

[0086] The above-described expression (1) is a mathematical expression that defines the absolute value of the ratio of the movement amount of the third lens group from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end to the movement amount of the second lens group from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end. By satisfying expression (1), it is easy to reduce the variation in the position of the center of gravity of the zoom lens. Here, the movement amount of a lens group refers to the difference between the position on the optical axis of the lens group at the wide-angle end and the position on the optical axis of the lens group at the telephoto end.

[0087] In contrast, if the value of expression (1) is lower than the lower limit value, the movement amount of the second lens group becomes larger relative to the movement amount of the third lens group, and the variation in the position of the center of gravity at the time of zooming becomes large. Therefore, it is not preferable from the viewpoint of reducing the variation in the position of the center of gravity of the zoom lens. On the other hand, if the value of expression (1) is equal to or higher than the upper limit value, the movement amount of the third lens group becomes larger relative to the movement amount of the second lens group, and the variation in the position of the center of gravity at the time of zooming becomes large. Therefore, it is not preferable from the viewpoint of reducing the variation in the position of the center of gravity of the zoom lens.

[0088] In terms of obtaining the above-described effects, the lower limit value of expression (1) is preferably 0.20, and more preferably 0.40. In addition, the upper limit value of expression (1) is preferably 1.32, and more preferably 1.30. Furthermore, in the case where these preferable lower limit value or upper limit value is adopted, the inequality sign (<) in expression (1) can be replaced with an inequality sign with equality (≤). The same is true for other mathematical expressions as a principle.

[0089] 1-3-2. Expression (2)

[0090] 0.61 < |M5 / M2| < 1.81 • • • (2)

[0091] wherein

[0092] M2: movement amount of the second lens group from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end

[0093] M5: moving amount of the 5th lens group from the wide angle end to the telephoto end

[0094] The above formula (2) is a mathematical formula that defines the absolute value of the ratio of the moving amount of the 5th lens group from the wide angle end to the telephoto end to the moving amount of the 2nd lens group from the wide angle end to the telephoto end. By satisfying formula (2), the variation in the center of gravity position of the zoom lens is easily reduced.

[0095] In this regard, if the value of formula (2) is lower than the lower limit value, the moving amount of the 2nd lens group relative to the 5th lens group becomes large, and thus the variation in the center of gravity position at the time of zooming becomes large. Therefore, it is not preferable from the viewpoint of reducing the variation in the center of gravity position of the zoom lens. On the other hand, if the value of formula (2) is equal to or higher than the upper limit value, the moving amount of the 5th lens group relative to the 2nd lens group becomes large, and thus the variation in the center of gravity position at the time of zooming becomes large. Therefore, it is not preferable from the viewpoint of reducing the variation in the center of gravity position of the zoom lens.

[0096] In terms of obtaining the above effects, the lower limit value of formula (2) is preferably 0.65, and more preferably 0.70. In addition, the upper limit value of formula (2) is preferably 1.70, and more preferably 1.60.

[0097] 1-3-3. Formula (3)

[0098] 0.90 < β3t / β3w / (β2t / β2w) < 1.75 ··· (3)

[0099] wherein,

[0100] β2w: lateral magnification of the 2nd lens group at the time of focusing on an infinite distance at the wide angle end

[0101] β2t: lateral magnification of the 2nd lens group at the time of focusing on an infinite distance at the telephoto end

[0102] β3w: lateral magnification of the 3rd lens group at the time of focusing on an infinite distance at the wide angle end

[0103] β3t: lateral magnification of the 3rd lens group at the time of focusing on an infinite distance at the telephoto end

[0104] The above formula (3) is a mathematical formula that defines the ratio of the ratio of the lateral magnifications of the 2nd lens group and the 3rd lens group at the time of zooming from the wide angle end to the telephoto end of the zoom lens. By satisfying formula (3), the respective lateral magnifications of the 2nd lens group and the 3rd lens group are appropriately made, the moving amounts are defined while the zoom ratio of the zoom lens is ensured, and in addition, the variation in the center of gravity position of the zoom lens is reduced.

[0105] On the other hand, if the value of the formula (3) is equal to or more than the upper limit value, the lateral magnification ratio of the third lens group is too large with respect to the lateral magnification ratio of the second lens group, and thus the movement amount of the third lens group becomes large, and the variation of the center of gravity position at the time of zooming becomes large. Therefore, it is not preferable from the viewpoint of reducing the variation of the center of gravity position of the zoom lens. In addition, the lower limit value of the formula (3) is preferably 1.00, and more preferably 1.10, and the upper limit value of the formula (3) is preferably 1.65, and more preferably 1.60, in terms of obtaining the above-described effects.

[0106] In terms of obtaining the above-described effects, the lower limit value of the formula (3) is preferably 1.00, and more preferably 1.10. In addition, the upper limit value of the formula (3) is preferably 1.65, and more preferably 1.60.

[0107] 1-3-4. Formula (4)

[0108] 0.75 < β4t / β4w / (β2t / β2w) < 1.30 ··· (4)

[0109] wherein,

[0110] β2w: lateral magnification of the second lens group at the time of focusing on an infinite object at the wide-angle end

[0111] β2t: lateral magnification of the second lens group at the time of focusing on an infinite object at the telephoto end

[0112] β4w: lateral magnification of the fourth lens group at the time of focusing on an infinite object at the wide-angle end

[0113] β4t: lateral magnification of the fourth lens group at the time of focusing on an infinite object at the telephoto end

[0114] The above-described formula (4) is a mathematical formula that defines the ratio of the lateral magnification ratios of the second lens group and the fourth lens group at the time of zooming from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end of the zoom lens. By satisfying the formula (4), the respective lateral magnifications of the second lens group and the fourth lens group can be appropriately made, the movement amount is defined while the zoom ratio of the zoom lens is ensured, and the variation of the center of gravity position of the zoom lens can be reduced.

[0115] On the other hand, if the value of the formula (4) is equal to or greater than the upper limit value, the lateral magnification ratio of the 4th lens group is too large with respect to the lateral magnification ratio of the 2nd lens group, and thus the movement amount of the 4th lens group becomes large, and the variation of the center of gravity position at the time of zooming becomes large. Therefore, it is not preferable from the viewpoint of reducing the variation of the center of gravity position of the zoom lens. In order to obtain the above-mentioned effects, the lower limit value of the formula (4) is preferably 0.76, more preferably 0.77. In addition, the upper limit value of the formula (4) is preferably 1.20, more preferably 1.00.

[0116] In order to obtain the above-mentioned effects, the lower limit value of the formula (4) is preferably 0.76, more preferably 0.77. In addition, the upper limit value of the formula (4) is preferably 1.20, more preferably 1.00.

[0117] 1-3-5. Formula (5)

[0118] Nd2n < 1.80 ··· (5)

[0119] wherein,

[0120] Nd2n: refractive index at the d line of the most object side disposed negative lens among at least one negative lens included in the 2nd lens group

[0121] The above-mentioned formula (5) is a mathematical formula that defines the refractive index at the d line of the most object side disposed negative lens among at least one negative lens included in the 2nd lens group. The specific gravity of a lens has a tendency that the higher the refractive index of the glass material thereof, the larger the specific gravity of the lens. By satisfying the formula (5), the lightening of the 2nd lens group can be achieved, and the variation of the center of gravity position of the zoom lens can be reduced.

[0122] On the other hand, if the value of the formula (5) is equal to or greater than the upper limit value, it is difficult to achieve the lightening of the 2nd lens group, and the variation of the center of gravity position of the zoom lens becomes large. In order to obtain the above-mentioned effects, the upper limit value of the formula (5) is preferably 1.78, further preferably 1.76.

[0123] In order to well correct the field curvature, the lower limit value of the formula (5) is preferably 1.40, more preferably 1.50, further preferably 1.55.

[0124] 1-3-6. Formula (6)

[0125] 0.10 < |f2| / f1 < 0.40 ··· (6)

[0126] wherein,

[0127] f1: focal length of the 1st lens group

[0128] f2: focal length of the second lens group

[0129] The above formula (6) is a mathematical formula that defines the ratio of the focal length of the second lens group to the focal length of the first lens group. By satisfying formula (6), both the correction of each aberration and the shortening of the optical overall length can be taken into account, and the size of the zoom lens can be reduced.

[0130] In this regard, if the value of formula (6) is below the lower limit value, the power of the first lens group is weak relative to the power of the second lens group, the telephoto is weak, and it is difficult to achieve a shortening of the optical overall length. Therefore, it is not preferable from the viewpoint of reducing the size of the zoom lens. On the other hand, if the value of formula (6) is above the upper limit value, the power of the first lens group is too strong relative to the power of the second lens group, and it is difficult to correct the distortion aberration at the wide-angle end, the spherical aberration at the telephoto end, and the axial chromatic aberration, which is not preferable.

[0131] In terms of achieving the above effects, the lower limit value of formula (6) is preferably 0.15, and more preferably 0.20. In addition, the upper limit value of formula (6) is preferably 0.35, and further preferably 0.30.

[0132] 1-3-7. Formula (7)

[0133] 1.50 < β3t / β3w < 2.50 ··· (7)

[0134] wherein

[0135] β3w: lateral magnification of the third lens group at the time of focusing on an infinite distance at the wide-angle end

[0136] β3t: lateral magnification of the third lens group at the time of focusing on an infinite distance at the telephoto end

[0137] The above formula (7) is a mathematical formula that defines the lateral magnification ratio of the third lens group when the zoom lens is zoomed from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end. By satisfying formula (7), both sufficient zooming action and shortening of the optical overall length can be taken into account, and the size of the zoom lens can be reduced.

[0138] In this regard, if the value of formula (7) is below the lower limit value, the lateral magnification ratio of the third lens group becomes small, and it is therefore difficult to ensure a sufficient zoom ratio. On the other hand, if the value of formula (7) is above the upper limit value, the lateral magnification ratio of the third lens group becomes large, and the movement amount of the third lens group increases. Therefore, the optical overall length becomes long, which is not preferable from the viewpoint of reducing the size of the zoom lens.

[0139] In terms of achieving the above effects, the lower limit value of formula (7) is preferably 1.60, and more preferably 1.70. In addition, the upper limit value of formula (7) is preferably 2.40, and further preferably 2.30.

[0140] 1-3-8. Formula (8)

[0141] 0.30 < |f2 / fw| < 1.00 ··· (8)

[0142] wherein,

[0143] f2: focal length of the second lens group

[0144] fw: focal length of the zoom lens at infinity focus at the wide-angle end

[0145] The above formula (8) is a mathematical formula that defines the ratio of the focal length of the second lens group to the focal length of the zoom lens at infinity focus at the wide-angle end. By satisfying formula (8), it is possible to achieve both correction of various aberrations and miniaturization of the zoom lens.

[0146] In this regard, if the value of formula (8) is below the lower limit value, the power of the second lens group is too strong, and it is difficult to correct the field curvature and distortion aberration at the wide-angle end, and thus it is not preferable. On the other hand, if the value of formula (8) is above the upper limit value, the power of the second lens group is too weak, and in order to achieve a prescribed zoom ratio, it is necessary to increase the movement amount of the second lens group at zooming, and thus the optical total track length becomes long. Therefore, from the viewpoint of miniaturization of the zoom lens, it is not preferable.

[0147] In terms of achieving the above effects, the lower limit value of formula (8) is preferably 0.40, and more preferably 0.50. In addition, the upper limit value of formula (8) is preferably 0.90, and more preferably 0.80.

[0148] 1-3-9. Formula (9)

[0149] 0.50 < f1 / ft < 2.00 ··· (9)

[0150] wherein,

[0151] f1: focal length of the first lens group

[0152] ft: focal length of the zoom lens at infinity focus at the telephoto end

[0153] The above formula (9) is a mathematical formula that defines the ratio of the focal length of the first lens group to the focal length of the zoom lens at infinity focus at the telephoto end. By satisfying formula (9), it is possible to achieve both correction of various aberrations and miniaturization of the zoom lens.

[0154] In this regard, if the value of formula (9) is below the lower limit value, the power of the first lens group is too strong, and it is difficult to correct the spherical aberration and axial chromatic aberration at the telephoto end, and thus it is not preferable. On the other hand, if the value of formula (9) is above the upper limit value, the power of the first lens group is too weak, and it is difficult to shorten the optical total track length at the telephoto end, and thus it is not preferable.

[0155] In terms of achieving the above effects, the lower limit value of formula (9) is preferably 0.70, more preferably 0.90. In addition, the upper limit value of formula (9) is preferably 1.70, more preferably 1.40.

[0158] wherein,

[0159] f2: focal length of the second lens group

[0160] f4: focal length of the fourth lens group

[0161] The above formula (10) is a mathematical formula that defines the ratio of the focal length of the fourth lens group to the focal length of the second lens group. By satisfying formula (10), it is possible to achieve both correction of various aberrations and miniaturization of the zoom lens.

[0162] In this regard, if the value of formula (10) is below the lower limit value, the power of the fourth lens group is too strong with respect to the second lens group, and it is difficult to correct spherical aberration, coma, and field curvature, which is not preferable. On the other hand, if the value of formula (10) is above the upper limit value, the power of the fourth lens group is too weak with respect to the second lens group, and the fourth lens group becomes large, and the diameter of the lens barrel becomes large, which is not preferable. Furthermore, when the fourth lens group is provided as a focus adjustment group, the movement amount of the fourth lens group at the time of focusing becomes large, and thus it is difficult to shorten the optical total track.

[0163] In terms of achieving the above effects, the lower limit value of formula (10) is preferably 1.00, more preferably 1.50. In addition, the upper limit value of formula (10) is preferably 3.00, more preferably 2.50.

[0164] 1-3-11. Formula (11)

[0168] f5: focal length of the fifth lens group

[0169] The above formula (11) is a mathematical formula that defines the ratio of the focal length of the fifth lens group to the focal length of the third lens group. By satisfying formula (11), it is possible to achieve both correction of various aberrations and miniaturization of the zoom lens.

[0170] On the other hand, if the value of the formula (11) is equal to or more than the upper limit value, the power of the third lens group is too strong with respect to the fifth lens group, and it is difficult to correct the spherical aberration, and it is difficult to balance the correction of each aberration and the miniaturization of the zoom lens.

[0171] In terms of obtaining the above-described effects, the lower limit value of the formula (11) is preferably 4.70, and more preferably 4.85. In addition, the upper limit value of the formula (11) is preferably 7.00, and more preferably 6.90.

[0172] 2. Imaging device

[0173] Next, an imaging device according to the present application will be described. The imaging device according to the present application is characterized by including the above-described zoom lens according to the present application, and an imaging element that converts an optical image formed by the zoom lens into an electric signal. In addition, the imaging element is preferably disposed on an image side of the zoom lens.

The zoom lens according to the present application is particularly suitable as a zoom lens for an imaging device that mounts a large-sized imaging element such as a full-size imaging element. The zoom lens is small and light in its entirety, and has high optical performance, and thus a high-quality captured image can be obtained when used as a zoom lens for such an imaging device.

The camera 2 has a detachable zoom lens 3, an imaging element 21 (CCD sensor or CMOS sensor) disposed at an image plane IP of the zoom lens 3, and a protection glass CG disposed on an object side of the imaging element 21.
