DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] Hereinafter, embodiments of the high-power zoom lens according to the present invention will be described in detail. The following embodiments describe an example of the high-power zoom lens according to the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0015] As Figure 1 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 21 、 Figure 31 、 Figure 41As can be seen from the lens structure diagram shown, the high-power zoom lens of the present invention is characterized in that it has, arranged in order from the object side, a first lens group G1 with positive refractive power, a second lens group G2 with negative refractive power, a third lens group G3 with positive refractive power, a fourth lens group G4 with positive refractive power, and an Lth lens group GL with positive refractive power and located closest to the image side. When the high-power zoom lens is zoomed from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, the intervals between the lens groups change, and the third lens group G3 The high-magnification zoom lens is composed of a 3A lens group G3A with positive refractive power and a 3B lens group G3B with negative refractive power, and image blur correction is performed by moving the 3B lens group G3B in a direction approximately perpendicular to the optical axis. The fourth lens group G4 is composed of a 4A lens group G4A with positive refractive power and a 4B lens group G4B with negative refractive power, and focusing action from an infinity state to a close distance is performed by moving the 4B lens group G4B in the direction of the optical axis from the object side to the image side. The high-magnification zoom lens satisfies the following conditional formula. (1)0.25<f1 / fT<0.66 (2) 0.35<|ff / fr|<0.80 f1: focal length of the first lens group G1 fT: The focal length of the entire high-magnification zoom lens at infinity at the telephoto end ff: The combined focal length of the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2 at infinity at the wide-angle end fr: The combined focal length from the third lens group G3 to the Lth lens group GL at infinity at the wide-angle end

[0016] As an optical system for achieving a high zoom ratio, zoom lenses are generally known. These lenses consist of, arranged in order from the object side, a first lens group with positive refractive power, a second lens group with negative refractive power, a third lens group with positive refractive power, and multiple rear lens groups, with the rear lens group including a group for focusing. Furthermore, a zoom lens disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example, includes a partial group for image blur correction within the third lens group, thereby miniaturizing the optical system.

[0017] Furthermore, in a zoom lens typically consisting of a first lens group with positive refractive power, a second lens group with negative refractive power, a third lens group with positive refractive power, and multiple rear lens groups, arranged in this order from the object side, axial light rays in the third lens group pass through a high position throughout the entire zoom range, resulting in significant spherical aberration or coma in the third lens group. Therefore, the high-power zoom lens of the present invention, by employing a configuration comprising a third lens group G3 with positive refractive power that varies with zooming, and a fourth lens group G4 with positive refractive power, can minimize spherical aberration and coma throughout the entire zoom range, thereby minimizing aberrations in the optical system as a whole.

[0018] Conditional expression (1) defines the ratio of the focal length of the first lens group G1 to the focal length of the entire system in the infinite focus state at the telephoto end.

[0019] If the upper limit of conditional expression (1) is exceeded and the refractive power of the first lens group G1 decreases, the converging effect of light emitted from the first lens group G1 decreases, and the diameter of the second lens group G2 increases, resulting in an increase in the size of the optical system, which is not preferable.

[0020] If the lower limit of the conditional expression (1) is exceeded and the refractive power of the first lens group G1 increases, spherical aberration and coma aberration will increase mainly at the telephoto end, which is not preferable.

[0021] In order to ensure the effect of conditional expression (1), it is preferable to further set the upper limit value to 0.55 and the lower limit value to 0.32.

[0022] Conditional equation (2) specifies the ratio of the combined focal length of the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2 at infinity at the wide-angle end to the combined focal length of the third lens group G3 through the L-th lens group GL at infinity at the wide-angle end. In order to achieve a large field of view at the wide-angle end while miniaturizing the entire system, it is necessary to appropriately set the retrofocus power configuration at the wide-angle end.

[0023] If the upper limit of conditional expression (2) is exceeded and the combined refractive power of the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2 at infinity at the wide-angle end becomes weak, it will be difficult to widen the entire system while keeping the total optical length short. Furthermore, if the upper limit of conditional expression (2) is exceeded and the combined refractive power of the third lens group G3 to the L-th lens group GL at infinity at the wide-angle end becomes strong, it will be difficult to reduce spherical aberration or coma.

[0024] If the lower limit of conditional expression (2) is exceeded and the combined refractive power of the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2 at infinity at the wide-angle end becomes stronger, it will be difficult to reduce astigmatism at the wide-angle end. In addition, the rising effect of the on-axis light emitted from the second lens group G2 becomes stronger, and the diameter of the third lens group G3 and beyond becomes larger, which is not preferable. Furthermore, if the lower limit of conditional expression (2) is exceeded and the combined refractive power of the third lens group G3 to the L-th lens group GL at infinity at the wide-angle end becomes weaker, the total length becomes longer, which is not preferable.

[0025] In order to ensure the effect of conditional expression (2), it is preferable to further set the upper limit value to 0.70 and the lower limit value to 0.45.

[0026] Another feature of the present invention is that the distance between the 4A lens group G4A and the 4B lens group G4B in the infinite state is constant during zooming.

[0027] By making the distance between lens group 4A G4A and lens group 4B G4B constant during zooming, mechanisms such as the cam can be simplified, and the product can be miniaturized. Furthermore, since the so-called zoom tracking state for maintaining focus on the subject during zooming at infinity is achieved, rapid and stable focusing can be achieved.

[0028] Another feature of the present invention is that the interval between the 3A lens group G3A and the 3B lens group G3B is constant during zooming.

[0029] By making the distance between the 3A lens group G3A and the 3B lens group G3B constant, mechanisms such as cams can be simplified and the product can be miniaturized.

[0030] Another feature of the present invention is that each of the 3B lens groups G3B is a cemented lens consisting of a positive lens and a negative lens.

[0031] If the weight of the lens group driven during vibration control increases, the actuator required for driving it will also be large, leading to a large-scale mechanism. In order to simultaneously achieve good aberration correction during vibration control and miniaturization of the mechanism, the number of lenses used in the 3B lens group G3B needs to be suppressed to a minimum. By constituting the 3B lens group G3B with one positive lens and one negative lens, it is possible to suppress the chromatic aberration of magnification generated when the 3B lens group G3B is moved in a direction roughly perpendicular to the optical axis. In addition, by setting it as a cemented lens, there is no need to produce mechanical elements such as spacers, thereby achieving further weight reduction.

[0032] Another feature of the present invention is that the 4B lens group G4B is a negative lens, or a cemented lens consisting of a positive lens and a negative lens.

[0033] To achieve both rapid focusing and compactness, the lens group used in focusing needs to be lightweight. By making the 4B lens group G4B a single negative lens or a cemented lens consisting of a positive lens and a negative lens, the weight of the 4B lens group G4B can be kept low.

[0034] Another feature of the present invention is that the Lth lens group GL located closest to the image side is fixed relative to the image plane.

[0035] By making the Lth lens group GL located closest to the image side fixed relative to the image plane, mechanisms such as cams can be simplified, and the product can be miniaturized.

[0036] Another feature of the present invention is that the first lens group G1 is composed of one negative lens and two positive lenses arranged in order from the object side.

[0037] To achieve both high imaging performance and compactness, the optimal configuration is required to minimize the number of elements in the first lens group G1 while also correcting aberrations. By including both a negative lens and a positive lens, lateral chromatic aberration occurring in the first lens group G1 can be suppressed. Furthermore, by using two positive lenses, spherical aberration and coma, which primarily occur in the first lens group G1 at the telephoto end, can be minimized.

[0038] Another feature of the present invention is that the 4A lens group G4A includes at least two positive lenses and one negative lens.

[0039] Since the axial light in the 4A lens group G4A passes through a high position from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, large spherical aberration or coma is generated in the 4A lens group G4A. Since the aberration generated in the 4A lens group G4A is magnified in the 4B lens group G4B having a negative refractive power, it is necessary to suppress the aberration generated in the 4A lens group G4A in order to correct each aberration well from the infinity state to the close distance. Therefore, by constituting the 4A lens group G4A with at least two positive lenses, the spherical aberration or coma in the entire system can be well corrected. In addition, by including a positive lens and a negative lens in the 4A lens group G4A, the axial chromatic aberration in the entire system can be well corrected.

[0040] Another feature of the present invention is that the following conditional expression is satisfied. (3)0.60<|f4B / f4|<1.80 f4B: focal length of the 4B lens group G4B f4: focal length of the fourth lens group G4

[0041] Conditional expression (3) defines the ratio of the focal length of the 4B lens group G4B to the focal length of the 4th lens group G4.

[0042] If the upper limit of conditional expression (3) is exceeded and the refractive power of lens group 4B G4B decreases, the movement distance of lens group 4B G4B during focusing becomes longer, making it impossible to perform rapid focusing action, which is not preferred. On the other hand, if the upper limit of conditional expression (3) is exceeded and the refractive power of lens group 4B G4 increases, it becomes difficult to suppress astigmatism.

[0043] If the lower limit of conditional expression (3) is exceeded and the refractive power of the 4B lens group G4B increases, it becomes difficult to suppress the astigmatism generated in the 4B lens group G4B, and the variation of astigmatism from the infinite distance state to the close distance state becomes larger, which is not preferable. In addition, if the lower limit of conditional expression (3) is exceeded and the refractive power of the fourth lens group G4 becomes smaller, the divergence of the off-axis light emitted from the fourth lens group G4 becomes larger, thereby increasing the diameter of the lens group closer to the image side than the fourth lens group G4, and the optical system becomes larger.

[0044] In order to ensure the effect of conditional expression (3), it is preferable that the upper limit value be 1.60 and the lower limit value be 0.85.

[0045] Another feature of the present invention is that the following conditional expression is satisfied. (4)0.08<FB / LT<0.20 FB: Back focus distance in air conversion at wide angle LT: Total optical length at wide angle

[0046] Conditional equation (4) specifies the ratio of the air-equivalent back focus at the wide-angle end to the total optical length at the wide-angle end. Here, the back focus is the distance on the optical axis from the top of the lens surface closest to the image side of the Lth lens group GL to the image plane. By appropriately setting the back focus, the entire system can be miniaturized.

[0047] If the upper limit of conditional expression (4) is exceeded and the back focus at the wide-angle end increases, it becomes difficult to keep the total length of the optical system short, which is not preferable.

[0048] If the lower limit of conditional expression (4) is exceeded and the back focus at the wide-angle end becomes smaller, the angle of off-axis light emitted from the Lth lens group GL to the image plane becomes larger, and the peripheral light amount decreases, which is not preferable.

[0049] In order to ensure the effect of conditional expression (4), it is preferable to further set the upper limit value to 0.18 and the lower limit value to 0.09.

[0050] Another feature of the present invention is that the following conditional expression is satisfied. (5)0.50<f3 / f4<5.00 f3: focal length of the third lens group G3 f4: focal length of the fourth lens group G4

[0051] Conditional expression (5) defines the ratio of the focal length of the third lens group G3 to the focal length of the fourth lens group G4.

[0052] In the third lens group G3 and the fourth lens group G4, both on-axis and off-axis rays pass through high positions within the lens from the wide-angle to telephoto ends. Therefore, in order to achieve optimal correction of aberrations such as spherical aberration, coma, and astigmatism while miniaturizing the optical system, it is important to appropriately set the refractive power of each group.

[0053] If the upper limit of conditional expression (5) is exceeded and the refractive power of the third lens group G3 decreases, the converging effect of the light rays emitted from the third lens group G3 becomes weaker, and the diameter of the fourth lens group G4 becomes larger, making it difficult to reduce the diameter of the product. Furthermore, if the upper limit of conditional expression (5) is exceeded and the refractive power of the fourth lens group G4 increases, it becomes difficult to suppress astigmatism.

[0054] If the lower limit of conditional expression (5) is exceeded and the refractive power of the third lens group G3 becomes larger, it will be difficult to properly correct spherical aberration or coma. Furthermore, if the lower limit of conditional expression (5) is exceeded and the refractive power of the fourth lens group G4 becomes smaller, the divergence of off-axis light rays emitted from the fourth lens group G4 becomes larger, and thus the diameter of the lens group closer to the image side than the fourth lens group G4 becomes larger, and the optical system becomes larger.

[0055] In order to ensure the effect of conditional expression (5), it is preferable that the upper limit value be 4.00 and the lower limit value be 1.00.

[0056] Another feature of the present invention is that the following conditional expression is satisfied. (6)0.010<ΔPgF_3A<0.073 ΔPgF_3A: The maximum anomalous dispersion of the g-line and F-line anomalous dispersions of the positive lens included in the 3A lens group G3A

[0057] Conditional expression (6) specifies the maximum value of the anomalous dispersion properties of the positive lens included in the 3A lens group G3A at the g-line and the F-line. In addition, the anomalous dispersion of each lens included in the imaging optical system in the present invention is defined by the following formula. ΔPgF=PgF-0.64833+0.00180*νd ΔPgF: Anomalous dispersion of the lens included in the imaging optical system PgF: Partial dispersion ratio between the g-line and F-line of the lens included in the imaging optical system νd: Abbe number in d-line of the lens included in the imaging optical system

[0058] If the upper limit of conditional expression (6) is exceeded and the anomalous dispersion of the positive lens included in the 3A lens group G3A becomes large, the correction of the secondary spectrum becomes excessive, making it difficult to properly correct the axial chromatic aberration from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, which is not preferable.

[0059] If the lower limit of conditional expression (6) is exceeded and the anomalous dispersion of the positive lens included in the 3A lens group G3A becomes small, the secondary spectrum becomes insufficiently corrected, which is not preferable.

[0060] In order to ensure the effect of conditional expression (6), it is preferable to further set the upper limit value to 0.058 and the lower limit value to 0.020.

[0061] Another feature of the present invention is that the following conditional expression is satisfied. (7)0.010<ΔPgF_1<0.073 ΔPgF_1: The maximum anomalous dispersion of the g-line and F-line anomalous dispersion of the positive lens included in the first lens group G1

[0062] Conditional expression (7) defines the maximum value of the anomalous dispersion of the positive lens included in the first lens group G1 at the g-line and the F-line.

[0063] If the upper limit of the conditional expression (7) is exceeded and the anomalous dispersion of the positive lens included in the first lens group G1 becomes large, no suitable glass types are available.

[0064] If the lower limit of conditional expression (7) is exceeded and the anomalous dispersion of the positive lens included in the first lens group G1 becomes small, correction of the secondary spectrum becomes insufficient mainly at the telephoto end, which is not preferable.

[0065] In order to ensure the effect of conditional expression (7), it is preferable to further set the upper limit value to 0.058 and the lower limit value to 0.020.

[0066] Next, the lens configuration of an embodiment of the high-power zoom lens of the present invention will be described. In the following description, the lens configuration will be described in order from the object side to the image side.

[0067] In [Surface Data], the surface number is the number of the lens surface or aperture stop S counted from the object side, r is the radius of curvature of each surface, d is the interval between each surface, nd is the refractive index with respect to the d-line (wavelength 587.56nm), vd is the Abbe number with respect to the d-line, and PgF is the partial dispersion ratio related to the g-line (wavelength 435.8nm) and F-line (wavelength 486.1nm).

[0068] The * (asterisk) attached to the surface number indicates that the lens surface shape is aspherical. Also, BF represents the back focus.

[0069] The "(Stop)" appended to the surface number indicates the position of the aperture stop S. The radius of curvature relative to the plane or the aperture stop S is indicated by ∞ (infinity).

[0070] The values of the coefficients that define the aspheric shape of the lens surface marked with an * in the [Surface Data] section are shown in [Aspheric Surface Data]. Regarding the aspheric surface shape, the coordinates are expressed as follows: y represents the displacement perpendicular to the optical axis from the optical axis, z represents the displacement perpendicular to the optical axis from the intersection of the aspheric surface and the optical axis, r represents the radius of curvature of the reference sphere, K represents the conic coefficient, and A4, A6, ..., A12 represent the 4th, 6th, ..., and 12th order aspheric coefficients, respectively.

[0071] [Various Data] shows values such as the zoom ratio and the focal length in each focal length state.

[0072] The variable interval data shows the variable interval and BF value in each focal length state.

[0073] [Lens Group Data] shows the number of the surface closest to the object side of each lens group and the composite focal length of the entire group.

[0074] Furthermore, in the aberration diagrams corresponding to the respective examples, d, g, and C represent the d-line, g-line, and C-line, respectively, and ΔS and ΔM represent the sagittal image plane and the meridional image plane, respectively.

[0075] In addition, in all the following specifications, unless otherwise specified, the focal length f, curvature radius r, lens surface spacing d, and other lengths are described in millimeters (mm). However, in the optical system, the same optical performance can be achieved even when the scale is enlarged or reduced, so this is not limited to this.

[0076] In addition, in the lens structure diagrams of each embodiment, arrows indicate the trajectory of the lens group when zooming from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, I indicates the image plane, and the dotted line passing through the center indicates the optical axis. [Example 1]
