[0034] Figure 24 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for manufacturing an optical system according to the second embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0035] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below. First, according to... Figure 22 A camera (optical device) having an optical system with each embodiment will be described. For example... Figure 22 As shown, the camera 1 consists of a main body 2 and a camera lens 3 mounted on the main body 2. The main body 2 includes an image sensor 4, a main control unit (not shown) for controlling the operation of the digital camera, and an LCD screen 5. The camera lens 3 includes an optical system OL consisting of multiple lens groups and a lens position control mechanism (not shown) for controlling the position of each lens group. The lens position control mechanism consists of a sensor for detecting the position of the lens groups, a motor for moving the lens groups back and forth along the optical axis, and a control circuit for driving the motor.

[0036] Light from the subject is focused by the optical system OL of the camera lens 3 and reaches the image plane I of the image sensor 4. The light from the subject reaching the image plane I is then photoelectrically converted by the image sensor 4 and recorded as digital image data in a memory (not shown). The digital image data recorded in the memory can be displayed on the LCD screen 5 according to user operation. Furthermore, this camera can be a mirrorless camera or a single-lens reflex camera with a reflex mirror. Figure 22 The optical system OL shown schematically illustrates an optical system included in the photographic lens 3, but the lens structure of the optical system OL is not limited to this structure.

[0037] Next, the optical system of the first embodiment will be described. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the optical system OL (1), as an example of the optical system OL in the first embodiment, consists of a front group GA, an aperture (aperture stop) S, and a rear group GB arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object side. The rear group GB has a first focusing lens group GF1 and a second focusing lens group GF2. The first focusing lens group GF1 is located closest to the object side of the rear group GB and has negative optical power. The second focusing lens group GF2 is located on the image plane side compared to the first focusing lens group GF1 and also has negative optical power. When focusing from an object at infinity to a closer object, the first focusing lens group GF1 and the second focusing lens group GF2 move along the optical axis to the image plane side along different trajectories.

[0038] According to the first embodiment, an optical system with minimal aberration during focusing and an optical device equipped with such an optical system can be obtained. Furthermore, since the aberration during focusing is minimal, large aperture and excellent optical performance can be achieved. Because each focusing lens group can be made lightweight, an optical system compatible with high-speed autofocus (AF) can be obtained. Because the drive mechanism for each focusing lens group can be simplified, the sensitivity of optical performance to manufacturing errors can be suppressed.

[0039] The optical system OL in the first embodiment can be Figure 3 The zoom optical system OL(2) shown can also be Figure 5 The optical system OL(3) shown can also be Figure 7 The optical system OL(4) shown can also be Figure 9 The optical system OL(5) shown. Alternatively, the optical system OL of the first embodiment may also be... Figure 11 The zoom optical system OL(6) shown can also be Figure 13 The optical system OL(7) shown can also be Figure 19 The optical system shown

[0040] OL(10).

[0041] The optical system OL of the first embodiment preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (1).

[0042] 0.30 <STL / TL<0.90…(1)

[0043] Where STL: the distance on the optical axis from aperture S to image plane I.

[0044] TL: Total length of the optical system OL

[0045] Condition (1) specifies an appropriate relationship between the distance on the optical axis from the aperture S to the image plane I and the total length of the optical system OL. By satisfying condition (1), the pupil position can be deduced, and a suitable range of aperture positions can be specified. In addition, field of view variations corresponding to changes in back focal length caused by manufacturing errors can be suppressed. Furthermore, in each embodiment, the total length of the optical system OL is the distance (air equivalent distance) on the optical axis from the lens surface of the optical system OL closest to the object when focusing at infinity to the image plane I.

[0046] When the corresponding value of conditional expression (1) is lower than the lower limit, the exit pupil approaches the image plane I, and therefore the angle of inclination of the light rays incident on the image plane I becomes steeper. This makes it easier for the field of view to change due to variations in the back focal length caused by manufacturing errors, etc. By setting the lower limit of conditional expression (1) to 0.33, 0.35, 0.38, 0.40, 0.43, 0.45, 0.48, 0.50, and further setting it to 0.52, the effects of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably.

[0047] When the corresponding value of conditional expression (1) is higher than the upper limit value, the cutting ratio of the upper and lower rays in aperture S becomes uneven due to the unsuitable position of aperture S, resulting in a so-called single aperture. Furthermore, aberration correction is difficult to perform because the total length of the optical system OL is too short. By setting the upper limit value of conditional expression (1) to 0.88, 0.85, 0.83, 0.80, 0.78, and further setting it to 0.76, the effects of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably.

[0048] In the optical system OL of the first embodiment, it is preferable that the rear group GB has a positive lens group GP, which is disposed between the first focusing lens group GF1 and the second focusing lens group GF2, and has positive optical power. When focusing from an object at infinity to a closer object, the position of the positive lens group GP relative to the image plane I is fixed. As a result, spherical aberration, Petzval, etc., can be well corrected.

[0049] In the optical system OL of the first embodiment, it is preferable that the front group GA is composed of a front lens group GA1 having positive optical power, and the rear group GB has a positive lens group GP and a final lens group GE. The positive lens group GP is disposed between the first focusing lens group GF1 and the second focusing lens group GF2 and has positive optical power. The final lens group GE is disposed on the image plane side relative to the second focusing lens group GF2. Therefore, by distributing multiple focusing lens groups on the image plane side relative to the aperture S, it is easy to align the axes of the multiple focusing lens groups together during focusing, thus suppressing the sensitivity of optical performance to manufacturing errors. Furthermore, by moving the multiple focusing lens groups during focusing, the focusing lens groups can be made lighter, and aberration variations during focusing can be effectively suppressed.

[0050] Next, the optical system of the second embodiment will be described. For example... Figure 1As shown, the optical system OL (1), as an example of the optical system OL in the second embodiment, is configured to include a front lens group GA1 with positive optical power, a first focusing lens group GF1 with negative optical power, a positive lens group GP with positive optical power, a second focusing lens group GF2 with negative optical power, and a final lens group GE, arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object side. When focusing from an object at infinity to a closer object, the first focusing lens group GF1 and the second focusing lens group GF2 move along the optical axis towards the image plane along different trajectories.

[0051] According to the second embodiment, an optical system with minimal aberration during focusing and an optical device equipped with such an optical system can be obtained. Furthermore, since the aberration during focusing is minimal, large aperture and excellent optical performance can be achieved. Because each focusing lens group can be made lightweight, an optical system compatible with high-speed autofocus (AF) can be obtained. Because the drive mechanism for each focusing lens group can be simplified, the sensitivity of optical performance to manufacturing errors can be suppressed.

[0052] The optical system OL in the second embodiment can be Figure 3 The zoom optical system OL(2) shown can also be Figure 5 The optical system OL(3) shown can also be Figure 7 The optical system OL(4) shown can also be Figure 9 The optical system OL(5) shown is an example. Alternatively, the optical system OL of the second embodiment could also be... Figure 11 The zoom optical system OL(6) shown can also be Figure 13 The optical system OL(7) shown can also be Figure 15 The optical system shown

[0053] OL(8) can also be Figure 17 The optical system OL(9) shown can also be Figure 19 The optical system OL(10) shown is illustrated.

[0054] In the optical system OL of the second embodiment, it is preferable to arrange an aperture stop (aperture stop) S between the front lens group GA1 and the first focusing lens group GF1. This effectively concentrates the light incident on the focusing lens group, enabling the focusing lens group to be compact and lightweight. Furthermore, it facilitates the alignment of the multiple focusing lens groups during focusing, suppressing the sensitivity of optical performance to manufacturing errors. Additionally, it allows for good correction of field-of-view variations during focusing.

[0055] The optical system OL of the second embodiment preferably satisfies the conditional expression (1) described above. By satisfying conditional expression (1), the pupil position can be deduced analogously, just as in the first embodiment, and a suitable range of aperture position can be defined. In addition, field of view variation caused by back focal length changes due to manufacturing errors can be suppressed. By setting the lower limit of conditional expression (1) to 0.33, 0.35, 0.38, 0.40, 0.43, 0.45, 0.48, 0.50, and further to 0.52, the effects of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably. In addition, by setting the upper limit of conditional expression (1) to 0.88, 0.85, 0.83, 0.80, 0.78, and further to 0.76, the effects of this embodiment can be obtained more reliably.

[0056] The optical system OL of the first and second embodiments preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (2).

[0057] 0.50 <fA / f<2.00…(2)

[0058] Where fA: focal length of the front lens group GA1

[0059] f: Focal length of the optical system OL

[0060] Condition (2) specifies the appropriate relationship between the focal length of the front lens group GA1 and the focal length of the optical system OL. By satisfying condition (2), chromatic aberration can be well corrected, and the overall length of the optical system OL can be shortened.

[0061] When the corresponding value of conditional expression (2) deviates from the above range, it is difficult to correct the color difference and to shorten the overall length of the optical system OL. By setting the lower limit of conditional expression (2) to 0.55, 0.60, 0.65, 0.70, 0.75, 0.80, 0.85, 0.90, and further to 0.95, the effects of each embodiment can be obtained more reliably. In addition, by setting the upper limit of conditional expression (2) to 1.90, 1.80, 1.75, 1.70, 1.65, 1.60, 1.55, 1.50, and further to 1.45, the effects of each embodiment can be obtained more reliably.

[0062] The optical system OL of the first and second embodiments preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (3).

[0063] 0.50 <fA / (-fF1)<1.50…(3)

[0064] Where fA: focal length of the front lens group GA1

[0065] fF1: Focal length of the first focusing lens group GF1

[0066] Condition (3) specifies the appropriate relationship between the focal length of the front lens group GA1 and the focal length of the first focusing lens group GF1. By satisfying condition (3), aberration variation and field of view variation during focusing can be reduced.

[0067] When the corresponding value of condition (3) deviates from the above range, it is difficult to suppress aberration changes and field of view changes during focusing. By setting the lower limit of condition (3) to 0.53, 0.55, 0.58, 0.60, 0.63, 0.65, 0.58, 0.70, and further to 0.73, the effects of each embodiment can be obtained more reliably. In addition, by setting the upper limit of condition (3) to 1.48, 1.45, 1.43, 1.40, 1.38, 1.35, and further to 1.33, the effects of each embodiment can be obtained more reliably.

[0068] The optical system OL of the first and second embodiments preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (4).

[0069] 0.35 <fB / (-fF1)<1.50…(4)

[0070] Wherein, fB: the combined focal length of the lens group GF1 positioned on the image plane side compared to the first focusing lens group.

[0071] fF1: Focal length of the first focusing lens group GF1

[0072] Condition (4) specifies an appropriate relationship between the combined focal length of the lens group GF1 positioned on the image plane side and the focal length of the first focusing lens group GF1. By satisfying condition (4), aberration variations and field of view variations during focusing can be reduced.

[0073] When the corresponding value of condition (4) deviates from the above range, it is difficult to suppress aberration changes and field of view changes during focusing. By setting the lower limit of condition (4) to 0.38, 0.40, 0.43, 0.45, 0.48, 0.50, 0.53, 0.55, 0.58, and further to 0.60, the effects of each embodiment can be obtained more reliably. In addition, by setting the upper limit of condition (4) to 1.45, 1.40, 1.35, 1.30, 1.25, 1.20, 1.18, 1.20, 1.15, 1.13, and further to 1.10, the effects of each embodiment can be obtained more reliably.

[0074] The optical system OL of the first and second embodiments preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (5).

[0075] -2.00<(-fE) / f<15.00…(5)

[0076] Where fE: the focal length of the final lens group GE

[0077] f: Focal length of the optical system OL

[0078] Condition (5) specifies the appropriate relationship between the focal length of the final lens group GE and the focal length of the optical system OL. By satisfying condition (5), shading can be suppressed and the overall length of the optical system OL can be shortened.

[0079] When the corresponding value of condition (5) deviates from the above range, it is difficult to suppress shadows and difficult to shorten the overall length of the optical system OL. By setting the lower limit of condition (5) to -1.80, -1.50, -1.00, -0.50, -0.10, 0.10, 0.50, 0.65, 0.80, and further to 0.90, the effects of each embodiment can be obtained more reliably. In addition, by setting the upper limit of condition (5) to 14.80, 12.00, 10.00, 8.50, 7.50, 6.00, 5.00, 4.50, and further to 4.00, the effects of each embodiment can be obtained more reliably.

[0080] The optical system OL of the first and second embodiments preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (6).

[0081] -1.00 <fP / (-fE)<1.50…(6)

[0082] Where fP: focal length of the positive lens group GP

[0083] fE: Focal length of the final lens group GE

[0084] Condition (6) specifies the appropriate relationship between the focal length of the positive lens group GP and the focal length of the final lens group GE. By satisfying condition (6), aberrations during focusing can be effectively suppressed, and the exit pupil can be moved away from the image plane I.

[0085] When the corresponding value of conditional expression (6) deviates from the above range, it is difficult to suppress aberration changes during focusing. By setting the lower limit of conditional expression (6) to -0.80, -0.50, -0.25, -0.10, 0.01, 0.05, 0.12, and further to 0.15, the effects of each embodiment can be obtained more reliably. In addition, by setting the upper limit of conditional expression (6) to 1.40, 1.25, 1.00, 0.85, 0.70, 0.65, 0.60, and further to 0.55, the effects of each embodiment can be obtained more reliably.

[0086] The optical system OL of the first and second embodiments preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (7).

[0087] 1.10<(-fF1) / fP<3.20…(7)

[0088] Where fF1: the focal length of the first focusing lens group GF1

[0089] fP: Focal length of the positive lens group GP

[0090] Condition (7) specifies the appropriate relationship between the focal length of the first focusing lens group GF1 and the focal length of the positive lens group GP. By satisfying condition (7), the generation of spherical aberration and axial chromatic aberration can be effectively suppressed.

[0091] When the corresponding value of condition (7) deviates from the above range, it is difficult to correct spherical aberration and axial chromatic aberration. By setting the lower limit of condition (7) to 1.15, 1.20, 1.25, 1.30, 1.33, 1.35, 1.38, 1.40, 1.43, and further to 1.45, the effects of each embodiment can be obtained more reliably. In addition, by setting the upper limit of condition (7) to 3.15, 3.10, 3.05, and further to 3.00, the effects of each embodiment can be obtained more reliably.

[0092] The optical system OL of the first and second embodiments preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (8).

[0093] 0.30 <fP / f<1.00…(8)

[0094] Where fP: focal length of the positive lens group GP

[0095] f: Focal length of the optical system OL

[0096] Condition (8) specifies the appropriate relationship between the focal length of the positive lens group GP and the focal length of the optical system OL. By satisfying condition (8), spherical aberration, Petzval, and other aberrations can be well corrected.

[0097] When the corresponding value of condition (8) deviates from the above range, it is difficult to correct spherical aberration, Petzval, etc. By setting the lower limit of condition (8) to 0.33, 0.35, 0.38, 0.40, and further to 0.43, the effects of each embodiment can be obtained more reliably. In addition, by setting the upper limit of condition (8) to 0.98, 0.95, 0.93, 0.90, and further to 0.88, the effects of each embodiment can be obtained more reliably.

[0098] In the optical system OL of the first and second embodiments, it is preferable that the positive lens group GP has a negative lens, a first positive lens, and a second positive lens arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object side. This allows for miniaturization of the optical system OL and enables the exit pupil to move away from the image plane I. Furthermore, it allows for effective correction of various aberrations, primarily spherical aberration.

[0099] The optical system OL of the first and second embodiments preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (9).

[0100] 0.10 <fF1 / fF2<2.00…(9)

[0103] Condition (9) specifies the appropriate relationship between the focal length of the first focusing lens group GF1 and the focal length of the second focusing lens group GF2. By satisfying condition (9), spherical aberration, image plane curvature, etc., can be well corrected.

[0104] When the corresponding value of condition (9) deviates from the above range, it is difficult to correct spherical aberration, image plane curvature, etc. By setting the lower limit of condition (9) to 0.13, 0.15, 0.18, 0.20, 0.23, and further to 0.25, the effects of each embodiment can be obtained more reliably. In addition, by setting the upper limit of condition (9) to 1.98, 1.95, 1.93, 1.90, 1.75, 1.50, 1.40, 1.25, 1.10, and further to 1.00, the effects of each embodiment can be obtained more reliably.

[0105] The optical system OL of the first and second embodiments preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (10).

[0109] Condition (10) specifies the appropriate relationship between the focal length of the optical system OL and the focal length of the first focusing lens group GF1. By satisfying condition (10), chromatic aberration, image plane curvature, etc., can be well corrected.

[0110] When the corresponding value of conditional expression (10) deviates from the above range, it is difficult to correct for chromatic aberration, image plane curvature, etc. By setting the lower limit of conditional expression (10) to 0.53, 0.55, 0.58, 0.60, 0.63, 0.65, 0.68, 0.70, 0.73, and further to 0.75, the effects of each embodiment can be obtained more reliably. In addition, by setting the upper limit of conditional expression (10) to 1.78, 1.75, 1.73, 1.70, 1.50, 1.40, and further to 1.20, the effects of each embodiment can be obtained more reliably.

[0111] In the optical system OL of the first and second embodiments, it is preferable that the first focusing lens group GF1 is composed of a negative lens component. This makes the first focusing lens group GF1 lighter, thus enabling high-speed focusing from an object at infinity to a closer object. Furthermore, in each embodiment, the lens component refers to a single lens or a combined lens.

[0112] The optical system OL of the first and second embodiments preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (11).

[0114] Where rF11: the radius of curvature of the lens surface closest to the object in the first focusing lens group GF1.

[0115] rF12: Radius of curvature of the lens surface closest to the image plane of the first focusing lens group GF1.

[0116] Condition (11) specifies an appropriate range for the shape factor of the lens constituting the first focusing lens group GF1. By satisfying condition (11), spherical aberration, coma, etc., can be well corrected.

[0117] When the corresponding value of conditional expression (11) deviates from the above range, it is difficult to correct spherical aberration, coma, etc. By setting the lower limit of conditional expression (11) to -2.45, -2.40, -2.35, -2.30, -2.28, -2.25, and further to -2.23, the effects of each embodiment can be obtained more reliably.

[0118] In the optical system OL of the first and second embodiments, it is preferable that the second focusing lens group GF2 is composed of a negative lens component. This makes the second focusing lens group GF2 lighter, thus enabling high-speed focusing from objects at infinity to objects at close range.

In addition, in each embodiment, the distance (air equivalent distance) on the optical axis of the optical system OL from the lens surface closest to the image plane to the image plane I when the back focal length of the optical system OL is set to infinity is defined.

[0124] When the corresponding value of conditional expression (12) is lower than the lower limit, a halo is generated on image plane I because the exit pupil is too close to image plane I. When it is desired to avoid this halo, it may be difficult to correct off-axis aberrations, especially coma, which is not preferred. By setting the lower limit of conditional expression (12) to 0.06, and further to 0.07, the effects of each embodiment can be obtained more reliably.

[0125] When the corresponding value of conditional expression (12) is higher than the upper limit, the total length of the optical system OL is too short, making it difficult to correct spherical aberration, coma, etc. In addition, the optical system OL becomes too large due to its excessively long back focal length.

[0403] According to the above embodiments, an optical system with minimal aberration changes during focusing can be achieved.

[0404] The above embodiments illustrate specific examples of the invention of this application, but the invention of this application is not limited to these.

[0405] The following can be appropriately adopted within the range that does not impair the optical performance of the optical system of this embodiment.

[0406] Although embodiments of the optical system in this embodiment show structures with 5 and 8 lens groups, this application is not limited to these and other structures (e.g., 6, 9, etc.) can also be constructed. Specifically, it is also possible to add a lens or lens group to the optical system in this embodiment on the side closest to the object or the side closest to the image plane. In addition, a lens group refers to a portion having at least one lens that is separated by the air gap that changes during focusing or zooming.

[0407] It can also be an image stabilizing lens group that corrects image shake caused by hand tremors by moving the lens group or part of the lens group in a manner that has a component perpendicular to the optical axis, or by rotating (oscillating) in the in-plane direction containing the optical axis.

[0408] The lens surface can be formed from a spherical or flat surface, or from an aspherical surface. When the lens surface is spherical or flat, lens processing and assembly adjustments become easier, preventing degradation of optical performance caused by errors in processing and assembly adjustments, and therefore this is preferred. Furthermore, there is less degradation in rendering performance when the image plane is offset, and this is also preferred.

[0409] When the lens surface is aspherical, the aspherical surface can be any of the following: a ground aspherical surface, a glass-molded aspherical surface formed by molding glass into an aspherical shape using a mold, or a composite aspherical surface formed by molding resin into an aspherical shape on the glass surface. Alternatively, the lens surface can also be a diffractive surface, or the lens can be a refractive index distribution lens (GRIN lens) or a plastic lens.

[0410] Although the aperture stop is preferably positioned between the first lens group and the second lens group, or between the second lens group and the third lens group, or between the third lens group and the fourth lens group, it is also possible to omit the aperture stop component and instead use the lens frame to perform its function.

[0411] In order to reduce glare and ghosting and achieve high contrast optical performance, an antireflective coating with high transmittance in a wide wavelength range can also be applied to each lens surface.
