DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] Examples of the high-magnification zoom lens according to the present invention will be described in detail below. Note that the following description of the examples is an example of the high-magnification zoom lens according to the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these examples within the scope of the gist of the present invention.

[0015] As can be seen from the lens construction diagrams shown in FIGS. 1, 11, 21, 31, and 41, the high-magnification zoom lens of the present invention comprises, in order from the object side, a first lens group G1 having positive refractive power, a second lens group G2 having negative refractive power, a third lens group G3 having positive refractive power, a fourth lens group G4 having positive refractive power, and an L-th lens group GL having positive refractive power and located closest to the image side. When zooming from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, the spacing between the lens groups changes, and the third lens group G A high-magnification zoom lens 3 is characterized in that it comprises a 3A lens group G3A with positive refractive power and a 3B lens group G3B with negative refractive power, and image blurring is corrected by moving the 3B lens group G3B in a direction approximately perpendicular to the optical axis, and the fourth lens group G4 comprises a 4A lens group G4A with positive refractive power and a 4B lens group G4B with negative refractive power, and focusing from infinity to a close distance is performed by moving the 4B lens group G4B in the optical axis direction from the object side to the image side, and satisfies the following conditional expression: (1) 0.25 <f1 / fT<0.66 (2) 0.35<|ff / fr|<0.80 f1: focal length of the first lens group G1 fT: focal length of the entire system at infinity at the telephoto end ff: composite focal length of the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2 at infinity at the wide-angle end fr: composite focal length from the third lens group G3 to the L lens group GL at infinity at the wide-angle end

[0016] As an optical system for achieving a high zoom ratio, a zoom lens is generally known that includes, 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 groups, with a group for focusing within the rear group. Among these, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a zoom lens that has a subgroup for image blur correction within the third lens group, thereby reducing the size of the optical system.

[0017] Furthermore, in general, in a zoom lens that is composed of, 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 groups, the on-axis light ray in the third lens group passes through a high position throughout the entire zoom range, causing large spherical aberrations and coma aberrations in the third lens group. Therefore, the high-magnification zoom lens of the present invention is configured with a third lens group G3 with positive refractive power and a fourth lens group G4 with positive refractive power, the spacing of which varies during magnification variation, thereby making it possible to keep spherical aberrations and coma aberrations small throughout the entire zoom range, and to keep aberrations small throughout the entire optical system.

[0018] Conditional expression (1) defines the ratio between the focal length of the first lens group G1 and the focal length of the entire system at infinity 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 becomes small, the convergence effect of the light rays emerging from the first lens group G1 becomes small, and the diameter of the second lens group G2 becomes large, which undesirably leads to an increase in the size of the optical system.

[0020] If the lower limit of conditional expression (1) is exceeded and the refractive power of the first lens group G1 becomes too large, spherical aberration and coma, mainly at the telephoto end, become too large, which is not desirable.

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

[0022] Conditional formula (2) defines the ratio between the composite focal length of the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2 at infinity at the wide-angle end, and the composite focal length of the third lens group G3 through the Lth lens group GL at infinity at the wide-angle end. In order to obtain a large angle of view at the wide-angle end while achieving a compact overall system, it is necessary to appropriately configure the power arrangement of a retrofocus type at the wide-angle end.

[0023] If the upper limit of conditional expression (2) is exceeded and the composite refractive power of the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2 at infinity at the wide-angle end becomes weak, it becomes difficult to widen the angle of the entire system while maintaining a short overall optical length. Also, if the upper limit of conditional expression (2) is exceeded and the composite refractive power of the third lens group G3 through the Lth lens group GL at infinity at the wide-angle end becomes strong, it becomes difficult to reduce spherical aberration and coma.

[0024] If the lower limit of conditional expression (2) is exceeded and the composite refractive power of the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2 at infinity at the wide-angle end becomes too strong, it becomes difficult to reduce astigmatism at the wide-angle end. Furthermore, the upward movement of on-axis rays emerging from the second lens group G2 becomes too strong, undesirably increasing the diameter of the third lens group G3 and subsequent groups. Furthermore, if the lower limit of conditional expression (2) is exceeded and the composite refractive power from the third lens group G3 to the Lth lens group GL at infinity at the wide-angle end becomes too weak, the overall length becomes too long, undesirably.

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

[0026] The present invention is further characterized in that the distance between the 4A lens group G4A and the 4B lens group G4B at infinity remains constant during zooming.

[0027] By keeping the distance between the 4A lens group G4A and the 4B lens group G4B constant during magnification changes, mechanisms such as cams can be simplified, making it possible to reduce the size of the product. In addition, so-called zoom tracking, which maintains focus on the subject during magnification changes at infinity, is satisfied, enabling fast and stable focusing operations.

[0028] The present invention is further characterized in that the distance between the 3A lens group G3A and the 3B lens group G3B remains constant during zooming.

[0029] By keeping 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 made more compact.

[0030] The present invention is further characterized in that each of the 3B lens groups G3B is a cemented lens composed of one positive lens and one negative lens.

[0031] If the weight of the lens group that is driven during image stabilization increases, the actuator required for driving it will also become larger, resulting in an increase in the size of the mechanism. In order to simultaneously achieve good aberration correction during image stabilization and a compact mechanism, it is necessary to minimize the number of lenses used in the 3B lens group G3B. By configuring the 3B lens group G3B with one positive lens and one negative lens, it becomes possible to suppress the chromatic aberration of magnification that occurs when the 3B lens group G3B is moved in a direction approximately perpendicular to the optical axis. Furthermore, using a cemented lens eliminates the need for mechanical elements such as spacers, allowing for further weight reduction.

[0032] The present invention is further characterized in that the 4B lens group G4B is a cemented lens composed of one negative lens or one positive lens and one negative lens.

[0033] To simultaneously achieve fast drive during focusing and a compact mechanism, it is necessary to reduce the weight of the lens group used for focusing. The weight of the 4B lens group G4B can be kept small by configuring the 4B lens group G4B as a single negative lens or a cemented lens consisting of a single positive lens and a single negative lens.

[0034] The present invention is further characterized in that the Lth lens group GL, which is positioned closest to the image side, is fixed relative to the image plane.

[0035] By fixing the Lth lens group GL, which is positioned closest to the image side, with respect to the image plane, it is possible to simplify mechanisms such as cams and to make the product more compact.

[0036] The present invention is further characterized in that the first lens group G1 comprises, in order from the object side, one negative lens and two positive lenses.

[0037] To simultaneously achieve high imaging performance and compact size, it is necessary to create an optimal configuration that can correct aberrations while minimizing the number of elements in the first lens group G1. By including a negative lens and a positive lens, it is possible to suppress chromatic aberration of magnification that occurs in the first lens group G1. Furthermore, by using two positive lenses, it is possible to minimize spherical aberration and coma aberration that occur in the first lens group G1, mainly at the telephoto end.

[0038] The present invention is further characterized in that the 4A lens group G4A includes at least two positive lenses and one negative lens.

[0039] From the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, axial rays pass through a high position within the 4A lens group G4A, resulting in significant spherical aberration and coma aberration within the 4A lens group G4A. The aberrations generated in the 4A lens group G4A are magnified by the 4B lens group G4B, which has negative refractive power. Therefore, in order to effectively correct various aberrations from infinity to close distances, it is necessary to suppress the aberrations generated within the 4A lens group G4A. Therefore, by configuring the 4A lens group G4A with at least two positive lenses, spherical aberration and coma aberration can be effectively corrected throughout the entire system. Furthermore, by including a positive lens and a negative lens in the 4A lens group G4A, axial chromatic aberration can be effectively corrected throughout the entire system.

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

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

[0042] If the upper limit of conditional expression (3) is exceeded and the refractive power of the 4B lens group G4B becomes small, the movement distance of the 4B lens group G4B during focusing becomes large, making it difficult to perform a fast focusing operation, which is undesirable. On the other hand, if the upper limit of conditional expression (3) is exceeded and the refractive power of the 4th lens group G4 becomes large, 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 becomes too large, it becomes difficult to suppress the astigmatism that occurs in the 4B lens group G4B, and the fluctuation in astigmatism from the infinity state to the close distance state becomes large, which is undesirable. Also, if the lower limit of conditional expression (3) is exceeded and the refractive power of the 4th lens group G4 becomes too small, the divergence of off-axial rays emerging from the 4th lens group G4 becomes large, which increases the diameter of the lens group on the image side of the 4th lens group G4 and makes the optical system larger.

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

[0045] The present invention is further characterized in that the following conditional expression is satisfied. (4) 0.08 <FB / LT<0.20 FB: Back focus in air at the wide-angle end LT: Total optical length at the wide-angle end

[0046] Conditional formula (4) defines the ratio of the air-equivalent back focal length at the wide-angle end to the total optical length at the wide-angle end. Here, back focal length is the distance on the optical axis from the apex of the lens surface in the Lth lens group GL that is closest to the image to the image plane. By setting the back focal length appropriately, it is possible to reduce the size of the entire system.

[0047] If the upper limit of conditional expression (4) is exceeded and the back focus at the wide-angle end becomes large, it becomes difficult to keep the overall length of the optical system small, which is undesirable.

[0048] If the lower limit of conditional expression (4) is exceeded and the back focal length at the wide-angle end becomes small, the angle of the off-axis ray emerging from the Lth lens group GL onto the image plane becomes large, which is undesirable as it reduces the amount of peripheral light.

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

[0050] The present invention is further characterized in that the following conditional expression is satisfied. (5) 0.50 <f3 / f4<5.00 f3: focal length of the third lens group G3 f4: the 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 end to the telephoto end. Therefore, in order to effectively correct various aberrations such as spherical aberration, coma, and astigmatism while keeping the optical system compact, it is important to set the refractive power of each group appropriately.

[0053] If the upper limit of conditional expression (5) is exceeded and the refractive power of the third lens group G3 becomes small, the convergence of light rays emerging from the third lens group G3 weakens, and the diameter of the fourth lens group G4 increases, making it difficult to reduce the diameter of the final product. Also, if the upper limit of conditional expression (5) is exceeded and the refractive power of the fourth lens group G4 becomes large, it becomes difficult to suppress astigmatism.

[0054] If the refractive power of the third lens group G3 becomes too large, exceeding the lower limit of conditional expression (5), it becomes difficult to effectively correct spherical aberration and coma. Also, if the refractive power of the fourth lens group G4 becomes too small, exceeding the lower limit of conditional expression (5), the divergence of off-axis rays emerging from the fourth lens group G4 increases, which increases the diameter of the lens group on the image side of the fourth lens group G4 and makes the optical system larger.

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

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

[0057] Condition (6) defines the largest value of the anomalous dispersion for the g-line and F-line of the positive lens included in the 3A lens group G3A. The anomalous dispersion of each lens included in the imaging optical system of the present invention is defined by the following formula. ΔPgF=PgF-0.64833+0.00180*νd ΔPgF: Anomalous dispersion of lenses included in the imaging optical system PgF: The partial dispersion ratio between the g-line and F-line of a lens included in an imaging optical system νd: Abbe number at the 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 secondary spectrum will be overcorrected, making it difficult to effectively correct axial chromatic aberration from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, which is undesirable.

[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 will be undercorrected, which is undesirable.

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

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

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

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

[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, the secondary spectrum will be undercorrected mainly at the telephoto end, which is undesirable.

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

[0066] Next, the lens configuration of an embodiment of the high-magnification zoom lens of the present invention will be described. Note that 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 spacing between each surface, and nd is the refraction for the d line (wavelength 587.56 nm). where vd is the Abbe number for the d-line, and PgF is the partial dispersion ratio for the g-line (wavelength 435.8 nm) and F-line (wavelength 486.1 nm).

[0068] An asterisk (*) next to a surface number indicates that the lens surface is aspherical, and BF represents the back focal length.

[0069] The (stop) attached to the surface number indicates that the aperture stop S is located at that position. The radius of curvature for the plane or aperture stop S is marked as ∞ (infinity).

[0070] [Aspherical Data] shows the values ​​of each coefficient that determines the aspherical shape of lens surfaces marked with an * in [Surface Data]. The aspherical shape is defined as follows: y is the displacement from the optical axis in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, z is the displacement (sag) from the intersection of the aspherical surface and the optical axis in the direction of the optical axis, r is the radius of curvature of the reference sphere, K is the Conic coefficient, and A4, A6, . . ., and A12 are the aspherical coefficients of 4th, 6th, . . ., and 12th orders, respectively. The coordinates of the aspherical shape are expressed by the following equations: TIFF2025125276000002.tif22169

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

[0072] [Variable Distance Data] shows the variable distance and BF values ​​for each focal length state.

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

[0074] 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 surface and meridional image surface, respectively.

[0075] In addition, for all of the values ​​of the following specifications, the focal length f, radius of curvature r, lens surface spacing d, and other length units are given in millimeters (mm) unless otherwise specified; however, this is not a limitation, as optical systems can achieve equivalent optical performance with proportional magnification and proportional reduction.

[0076] In the lens construction diagrams of the respective embodiments, the arrows indicate the locus of the lens group when changing magnification from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, I indicates the image plane, and the dashed line passing through the center indicates the optical axis. [Example]

[0077] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the lens configuration of a high-magnification zoom lens according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0078] Example 1 includes, from the object side, a first lens group G1 having positive refractive power, a second lens group G2 having negative refractive power, an aperture stop S, a third lens group G3 having positive refractive power, a fourth lens group G4 having positive refractive power, and a fifth lens group G5 having positive refractive power.

During image blur correction during vibration reduction, the 3B lens group G3B moves in a direction substantially perpendicular to the optical axis. During focusing from infinity to a close distance, the 4B lens group G4B moves toward the image plane. The fifth lens group G5 corresponds to the Lth lens group GL, which is located closest to the image side.

[0083] The fifth lens group G5 is composed of, in order from the object side, a negative meniscus lens with its convex surface facing the object side, and a biconvex lens.

[0084] In the high-magnification zoom lens of Example 1, when zooming from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, the distance between the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2 increases, the distance between the second lens group G2 and the third lens group G3 decreases, the distance between the third lens group G3 and the fourth lens group G4 decreases, and the distance between the fourth lens group G4 and the fifth lens group G5 increases. The fifth lens group G5 is fixed with respect to the image plane during zooming.
