Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an optical system suitable for digital video cameras, digital still cameras, broadcast cameras, cameras for silver halide film, surveillance cameras, vehicle-mounted cameras, and the like. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, telephoto type imaging optical systems (telephoto lenses) with long focal lengths are known. The term "long focal length" refers to a focal length that is longer than the dimensions of the effective imaging range, for example. In general, telephoto lenses become larger and heavier as the focal length becomes longer. In addition, among various aberrations, there are many fluctuations in axial chromatic aberration and lateral chromatic aberration during focusing.
[0003] Patent Document 1 discloses a telephoto lens having first to third lens groups with positive, negative and positive refractive powers arranged in that order from the object side to the image side, in which the second lens group moves toward the image side during focusing from an object at infinity to a closest object. The telephoto lens of Patent Document 1 can achieve weight reduction and good correction of various aberrations by appropriately setting the refractive power of a subgroup within the third lens group. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2016-151664 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] In the telephoto lens of Patent Document 1, the second lens group, which is the focusing group, is composed of one positive lens and one negative lens, or one positive lens and two negative lenses, but since the focusing group has a large number of lenses, it is heavy in weight. In addition, the load on the drive system of the focusing group becomes large, making it difficult to achieve high-speed focusing.
[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide an imaging optical system capable of realizing a reduction in the weight of the focusing group, and an image taking apparatus having the same. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] An optical system according to one aspect of the present invention includes, in order from the object side to the image side, a first lens group having positive refractive power, an aperture stop, a second lens group having negative refractive power, and a third lens group having positive refractive power, and the distance between adjacent lens groups changes during focusing. During focusing from an object at infinity to a closest object, the second lens group moves toward the image side. The first lens group includes a positive lens arranged closest to the object and two or more negative lenses, and the positive lens arranged closest to the object is a meniscus lens with a convex surface facing the object side. The second lens group includes one negative lens. Let LD1 be the distance on the optical axis from the lens surface of the first lens group closest to the object to the lens surface of the first lens group closest to the image, LD be the distance on the optical axis from the lens surface of the first lens group closest to the object to the image plane, f be the focal length of the optical system, and BF be the back focus of the optical system when focused on an object at infinity. 0.2 <LD1 / LD<0.4 BF / f<0.25 The present invention is characterized in that the following conditional expression is satisfied: Effect of the Invention
[0008] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an optical system that can realize a reduction in the weight of the focusing group, and an image taking apparatus having the same. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, the same reference numerals are given to the same members, and duplicated explanations will be omitted.
[0011] 1, 3, 5, and 7 are cross-sectional views of the imaging optical system (optical system) of Examples 1 to 4 when focusing on an object at infinity. The imaging optical system of each Example is an optical system used in imaging devices such as digital video cameras, digital still cameras, broadcast cameras, silver halide film cameras, surveillance cameras, and vehicle-mounted cameras.
[0012] In each cross-sectional view, the left side is the object side and the right side is the image side. The optical system of each embodiment is configured to have multiple lens groups. In this specification, a lens group is a group of lenses that move or stand still as a unit during focusing. That is, in the imaging optical system of each embodiment, the distance between adjacent lens groups changes during focusing. Note that a lens group may be composed of one lens or multiple lenses.
[0013] The imaging optical system of each embodiment has, arranged in order from the object side to the image side, a first lens group L1 with positive refractive power, an aperture stop SP, a second lens group L2 with negative refractive power, and a third lens group L3 with positive refractive power.
[0014] IP is an image plane, and when the imaging optical system of each embodiment is used as the photographing optical system of a digital still camera or digital video camera, the imaging plane of a solid-state imaging element (photoelectric conversion element) such as a CCD sensor or CMOS sensor is disposed thereon. When the imaging optical system of each embodiment is used as the photographing optical system of a silver halide film camera, a photosensitive surface equivalent to the film surface is disposed on the image plane IP. GB is an optical filter disposed on the object side of the image plane IP.
[0015] The arrows in each cross-sectional view indicate the direction of movement of the lens group (focusing group) during focusing from an object at infinity to a close object. In the imaging optical system of each embodiment, the second lens group L2, which is the focusing group, moves toward the image side during focusing from an object at infinity to a closest object.
[0016] 2, 4, 6, and 8 are aberration diagrams of the imaging optical systems of Examples 1 to 4. In each aberration diagram, (a) is an aberration diagram when an object at infinity is focused, and (b) is an aberration diagram when an object at the closest distance is focused.
[0017] In the spherical aberration diagram, Fno is the F-number, and shows the amount of spherical aberration for the d-line (wavelength 587.6 nm) and g-line (wavelength 435.8 nm). In the astigmatism diagram, S shows the amount of astigmatism on the sagittal image plane, and M shows the amount of astigmatism on the meridional image plane. In the distortion diagram, the amount of distortion for the d-line is shown. In the chromatic aberration diagram, the amount of chromatic aberration for the g-line is shown. ω is the half angle of view (degrees).
[0018] Next, the characteristic configuration of the imaging optical system of each embodiment will be described.
[0019] The lens closest to the object side in the imaging optical system is a positive lens. That is, the first lens group L1 includes a positive lens arranged closest to the object side. This enhances the convergence effect of the light beam at the lens closest to the object side, and reduces the diameter of the light beam incident on the lens located closer to the image side than the lens closest to the object side, thereby enabling the optical system to be made smaller in diameter and lighter in weight.
[0020] The first lens group L1 includes two or more negative lenses, which makes it possible to effectively correct chromatic aberration, particularly axial chromatic aberration.
[0021] The second lens group L2 is made up of one negative lens, which makes it possible to reduce the weight of the second lens group L2, which is the focusing group.
[0022] The second lens group L2 is disposed adjacent to the image side of the aperture stop SP, which makes it possible to reduce the weight of the second lens group L2, which is the focusing group, and to suppress fluctuations in lateral chromatic aberration during focusing.
[0023] The imaging optical system of each embodiment satisfies the following conditional expressions (1) and (2).
[0024] 0.2 <LD1 / LD<0.4 (1) BF / f<0.25 (2) Here, LD1 is the distance on the optical axis from the lens surface of the first lens group L1 closest to the object to the lens surface of the first lens group L1 closest to the image. LD is the distance on the optical axis from the lens surface of the first lens group L1 closest to the object to the image plane (hereinafter, referred to as the total lens length). f is the focal length of the imaging optical system. BF is the back focus of the imaging optical system when focusing on an object at infinity (the distance on the optical axis from the lens surface of the imaging optical system closest to the image to the image plane expressed in air equivalent length).
[0025] Conditional formula (1) specifies the ratio of the total lens length LD to the distance LD1 on the optical axis from the lens surface of the first lens group L1 closest to the object to the lens surface of the first lens group L1 closest to the image. If the lower limit of conditional formula (1) is exceeded, it becomes easy to reduce the weight of the imaging optical system, but it becomes difficult to correct spherical aberration and axial chromatic aberration. If the upper limit of conditional formula (1) is exceeded, it is advantageous in terms of aberration correction, but it becomes difficult to reduce the weight of the imaging optical system.
[0026] Condition (2) defines the ratio between the back focus BF and the focal length f of the imaging optical system. If the upper limit of condition (2) is exceeded, the overall lens length becomes long.
[0027] The imaging optical system of each embodiment has the above-mentioned configuration, and thus can realize a reduction in the weight of the focusing group. Therefore, the load on the drive system of the focusing group can be reduced, and therefore, high-speed focusing can be realized. In addition, the imaging optical system of each embodiment can realize a reduction in weight and good correction of various aberrations.
[0028] It should be noted that a similar effect can be obtained even with a configuration of four or more groups as long as the above-mentioned configuration is satisfied.
[0029] It is preferable that the numerical ranges of the conditional expressions (1) and (2) be the numerical ranges of the following conditional expressions (1a) and (2a).
[0030] 0.23 <LD1 / LD<0.35 (1a) BF / f<0.2 (2a) It is further preferable that the numerical ranges of the conditional expressions (1) and (2) be the numerical ranges of the following conditional expressions (1b) and (2b).
[0031] 0.26 <LD1 / LD<0.35 (1b) BF / f<0.17 (2b) Next, a description will be given of configurations that are preferably satisfied in the imaging optical system of each embodiment.
[0032] The third lens group L3 is composed of a first subgroup L3a with positive refractive power, a second subgroup L3b with negative refractive power, and a third subgroup L3c with positive refractive power, which are arranged in this order from the object side to the image side. It is preferable that the second subgroup L3b, which is an anti-vibration group, moves in a direction including a component perpendicular to the optical axis during image blur correction (correction of fluctuations in image position caused by vibrations of the imaging optical system, etc.).
[0033] Next, conditions that the imaging optical system of each embodiment should preferably satisfy will be described. The imaging optical system of each embodiment should preferably satisfy one or more of the following conditional expressions (3) to (7).
[0034] LD / f<1.5 (3) 0.50 <f1 / f<0.85 (4) -0.65 <f2 / f<-0.35 (5) 0.65 <f3 / f<0.95 (6) 15<νdG1<30 (7) Here, f1 is the focal length of the first lens group L1, f2 is the focal length of the second lens group L2, f3 is the focal length of the third lens group L3, and νdG1 is the Abbe number of the lens (positive lens) closest to the object in the imaging optical system.
[0035] Conditional formula (3) defines the ratio between the total lens length LD and the focal length f of the imaging optical system. When conditional formula (3) is satisfied, the imaging optical system can be regarded as having a long focal length. The imaging optical system in each embodiment is preferably a medium telephoto lens to a telephoto lens, and exceeding the upper limit of conditional formula (3) is not preferable because it is regarded as a lens with a short focal length.
[0036] Conditional expression (4) defines the ratio between the focal length f1 of the first lens group L1 and the focal length f of the imaging optical system. If the lower limit of conditional expression (4) is not reached, the refractive power of the first lens group L1 becomes large, which is advantageous for shortening the overall lens length, but makes it difficult to correct spherical aberration and axial chromatic aberration. If the upper limit of conditional expression (4) is exceeded, the refractive power of the first lens group L1 becomes small, and the overall lens length becomes long.
[0037] Conditional formula (5) specifies the ratio between the focal length f2 of the second lens group L2 and the focal length f of the imaging optical system. If the lower limit of conditional formula (5) is not reached, the refractive power of the second lens group L2 becomes smaller, so that the focus sensitivity of the second lens group L2 (the amount of focus movement relative to the amount of movement of the focusing group) becomes smaller, and the overall lens length becomes longer. If the upper limit of conditional formula (5) is exceeded, the refractive power of the second lens group L2 becomes larger, so that the focus sensitivity of the second lens group L2 becomes larger, making it difficult to satisfy the optical performance during focusing.
[0038] Conditional expression (6) defines the ratio of the focal length f3 of the third lens group L3 to the focal length f of the imaging optical system. If the lower limit of conditional expression (6) is not reached, the refractive power of the third lens group L3 becomes large, which is advantageous for shortening the overall lens length, but it becomes difficult to correct lateral chromatic aberration. If the upper limit of conditional expression (6) is exceeded, the refractive power of the third lens group L3 becomes small, and the overall lens length becomes long.
[0039] Conditional expression (7) defines the Abbe number νdG1 of the lens closest to the object in the imaging optical system. If the lower limit of conditional expression (7) is exceeded, excessive chromatic aberration will occur in the lens closest to the object in the imaging optical system, which is undesirable. If the upper limit of conditional expression (7) is exceeded, insufficient chromatic aberration will occur in the lens closest to the object in the imaging optical system, which is undesirable.
[0040] It is preferable that the numerical ranges of the conditional expressions (3) to (7) are set to the numerical ranges of the following conditional expressions (3a) to (7a).
[0041] LD / f<1.4 (3a) 0.60 <f1 / f<0.81 (4a) -0.61 <f2 / f<-0.40 (5a) 0.7 <f3 / f<0.9 (6a) 16<νdG1<26 (7a) It is further preferable that the numerical ranges of the conditional expressions (3) to (12) be the numerical ranges of the following conditional expressions (3b) to (7b).
[0042] LD / f<1.3 (3b) 0.65 <f1 / f<0.76 (4b) -0.58 <f2 / f<-0.46 (5b) 0.74 <f3 / f<0.86 (6b) 20<νdG1<24 (7b) Numerical examples 1 to 4 corresponding to the first to fourth embodiments, respectively, are shown below.
[0043] In the surface data of each numerical example, r represents the radius of curvature of each optical surface, and d (mm) represents the axial spacing (distance on the optical axis) between the mth surface and the (m+1)th surface. Here, m is the surface number counted from the light incident side. In addition, nd represents the refractive index of the optical member with respect to the d-line, and νd represents the Abbe number of the optical member. The Abbe number νd of a certain material is given by the following, when the refractive indices at the d-line (587.6 nm), F-line (486.1 nm), and C-line (656.3 nm) of the Fraunhofer lines are Nd, NF, and NC, respectively: νd=(Nd-1) / (NF-NC) It is expressed as:
[0044] In each numerical example, d, focal length (mm), F-number, and half angle of view (degrees) are all values when the imaging optical system of each example is focused on an object at infinity. "Back focus" is the distance on the optical axis from the final lens surface (the lens surface closest to the image) to the paraxial image surface expressed as an air-equivalent length. "Total lens length" is the distance on the optical axis from the foreground (the lens surface closest to the object) of the imaging optical system to the final surface plus the back focus. The term "lens group" is not limited to cases where the group is composed of multiple lenses, but also includes cases where the group is composed of a single lens.
