[0033] Hereinafter, embodiments of the technology of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0034] FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of the configuration of an imaging lens according to an embodiment of the present disclosure when focused on an object at infinity. FIG. 2 shows cross-sectional views of the configuration and light beams of the imaging lens in each focus state of FIG. 1. In FIG. 2, the upper row labeled "infinity" shows the state when focused on an object at infinity, and the lower row labeled "close distance" shows the state when focused on an object at close range. FIG. 2 shows the axial light beam 2 and the light beam 3 at the maximum half angle of view ωm when focused on an object at infinity, as well as the axial light beam and the light beam at the maximum half angle of view ωm when focused on an object at close range. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the left side is the object side, and the right side is the image side. The example shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 corresponds to the imaging lens of Example 1, which will be described later. The following description will mainly refer to FIG. 1.

[0035] FIG. 1 shows an example in which a parallel-plate optical member PP is arranged between the imaging lens and the image plane Sim, assuming that the imaging lens is applied to an imaging device. The optical member PP is a member that is assumed to include various filters and / or cover glass. The various filters are low-pass filters, infrared cut filters, and / or filters that cut off specific wavelength ranges. The optical member PP is a member that does not have refractive power. It is also possible to configure an imaging device without the optical member PP.

[0036] The imaging lens of the present disclosure is composed of, in order from the object side to the image side along the optical axis Z, a first lens group G1 having positive refractive power, a second lens group G2 having negative refractive power, and a third lens group G3 having positive refractive power. This configuration is advantageous for making the entire lens system compact.

[0037] As an example, each group of the imaging lens in FIG. 1 is configured as follows: The first lens group G1 consists of, in order from the object side to the image side, six lenses, lenses L11 to L16, and an aperture diaphragm St. The second lens group G2 consists of, in order from the object side to the image side, two lenses, lenses L21 to L22. The third lens group G3 consists of, in order from the object side to the image side, eight lenses, lenses L31 to L38. Note that the aperture diaphragm St in FIG. 1 does not indicate the size or shape, but rather its position in the direction of the optical axis.

[0038] In Figure 1, a horizontal arrow is written below the focusing group to indicate the direction of movement during focusing from an object at infinity to a close-up object. In this specification, a "focusing group" is a group that moves along the optical axis Z during focusing. In the example of Figure 1, the focusing group consists solely of the second lens group G2. The parentheses and right-pointing arrow below the second lens group G2 in Figure 1 indicate that the second lens group G2 is the focusing group and that the second lens group G2 moves toward the image side during focusing from an object at infinity to a close-up object.

[0039] In the imaging lens of the present disclosure, during focusing, at least the second lens group G2 moves along the optical axis Z. By configuring the imaging lens so that focusing is performed by moving at least the second lens group G2, it is possible to reduce the weight of the focusing group and increase the focusing speed.

[0040] While the imaging lens in the example of FIG. 1 includes only one focusing group, an imaging lens according to the present disclosure may be configured to include multiple focusing groups that move along the optical axis Z at different intervals during focusing. In the technology of the present disclosure, when an imaging lens includes one or more focusing groups, the focusing group closest to the object among these one or more focusing groups is the second lens group G2. In the imaging lens according to the present disclosure, the group consisting of all optical elements closer to the object than the second lens group G2 is the first lens group G1, and the group consisting of all optical elements closer to the image than the second lens group G2 is the third lens group G3. The above "optical elements" include lenses, aperture diaphragm St, etc.

[0041] As in the example of Figure 1, if the imaging lens is configured to include only one focusing group, this is advantageous for reducing the weight of the entire lens system. If the imaging lens is configured to include multiple focusing groups, this is advantageous for suppressing aberration fluctuations during focusing. For example, the imaging lens of the present disclosure may be configured so that, during focusing, the entire second lens group G2 and part of the third lens group G3 move along the optical axis Z with different spacings between them. This is advantageous for improving optical performance when focusing on a close-distance object.

[0042] The first lens group G1 is configured to include two positive lenses, arranged in succession from the object side to the image side, which is advantageous for making the optical system compact while effectively correcting spherical aberration and axial chromatic aberration.

[0043] The first lens group G1 may be configured to include, in succession from the object side to the image side, a positive lens, a positive lens, a positive lens, and a negative lens, which is advantageous in that it allows the optical system to be made compact while providing good correction for spherical aberration and axial chromatic aberration.

[0044] For example, the first lens group G1 may be configured to include only six lenses, consisting of, in order from the object side to the image side, a positive lens, a positive lens, a positive lens, a negative lens, a positive lens, and a negative lens. This is advantageous for excellent correction of spherical aberration and axial chromatic aberration. When the first lens group G1 includes the six lenses described above, the first lens group G1 may be configured to include a cemented lens in which a positive lens and a negative lens are cemented together. This is advantageous for correcting chromatic aberration. To obtain better characteristics, it is preferable that the first lens group G1 include two pairs of the above cemented lenses.

[0045] The second lens group G2 preferably includes at least one positive lens and at least one negative lens, which is advantageous for suppressing fluctuations in axial chromatic aberration during focusing.

[0046] The second lens group G2 may be configured to include a cemented lens set consisting of a positive lens and a negative lens, which is advantageous for reducing the weight of the focusing group while suppressing fluctuations in axial chromatic aberration during focusing.

[0047] The third lens group G3 is configured to include a lens component with negative refractive power closest to the image side. This configuration is advantageous for shortening the overall length of the lens system. In this specification, one lens component is defined as one single lens or one set of cemented lenses. A "single lens" is a single lens that is not cemented.

[0048] It is preferable to arrange a lens component with positive refractive power adjacent to the object side of the lens component with negative refractive power that is closest to the image in the third lens group G3, which is advantageous for shortening the overall length of the lens system.

[0049] It is preferable that the third lens group G3 includes at least one cemented lens and a single lens having negative refractive power, which is advantageous for effectively correcting lateral chromatic aberration and shortening the overall length of the lens system.

[0050] The number of lenses included in the third lens group G3 is preferably four or more, which is advantageous for correcting astigmatism. To obtain better characteristics, the number of lenses included in the third lens group G3 is more preferably five or more, and even more preferably six or more.

[0051] It is preferable that the number of lenses included in the third lens group G3 be 13 or less. This is advantageous for reducing the weight of the optical system and the overall length of the lens system. To obtain better characteristics, it is more preferable that the number of lenses included in the third lens group G3 be 12 or less, even more preferably 11 or less, and even more preferably 10 or less.

[0052] The imaging lens includes an aperture stop St, and it is preferable that the lens surface adjacent to the object side of the aperture stop St and the lens surface adjacent to the image side of the aperture stop St are concave. In this case, the air lens formed by the two lens surfaces facing each other across the aperture stop St has a biconvex shape, making it easy to appropriately correct spherical aberration and astigmatism. In this specification, the air gap sandwiched between the two opposing lens surfaces is considered to be a lens with a refractive index of 1, and this air gap is called the air lens.

[0053] The aperture stop St may be arranged between the lens surface of the first lens group G1 closest to the image and the lens surface of the second lens group G2 closest to the object. By arranging the aperture stop St relatively close to the object in this way, the outer diameter of the lens on the object side can be made smaller, which contributes to reducing the weight of the optical system.

[0054] The imaging lens may be configured to include an image stabilization group that moves in a direction intersecting the optical axis Z during image blur correction. If the imaging lens includes an image stabilization group, it is preferable that the image stabilization group be disposed within the third lens group G3. In this way, providing the image stabilization group in a portion of the lens where the outer diameter is relatively small is advantageous for reducing the diameter of the entire lens system.

[0055] When a vibration reduction group is disposed within the third lens group G3, it is preferable that the third lens group G3 include a fixed group that has a refractive power of the opposite sign to that of the vibration reduction group, does not move during image blur correction, and is disposed on the object side of the vibration reduction group. In this case, the vibration reduction sensitivity of the vibration reduction group (i.e., the amount of image blur correction per unit movement of the vibration reduction group) can be improved, which is advantageous for making the diameter of the optical system smaller.

[0056] The third lens group G3 may be configured to include, in order from the object side to the image side, a first subgroup having positive refractive power, a second subgroup having negative refractive power, and a third subgroup having positive refractive power, with only the second subgroup moving in a direction intersecting the optical axis Z during image blur correction. That is, the vibration-reduction group may be configured to include the second subgroup. By using a vibration-reduction group having negative refractive power and sandwiching it between groups having positive refractive power that do not move during image blur correction, vibration-reduction sensitivity can be improved, which is advantageous for reducing the diameter of the optical system. Furthermore, if the third lens group G3 is fixed relative to the image plane Sim during focusing, providing a vibration-reduction group in the third lens group G3 that does not move during focusing can contribute to simplifying the mechanical structure.

[0057] In the example of Fig. 1, the group consisting of lens L31 corresponds to the first subgroup, the group consisting of lenses L32 to L34 corresponds to the second subgroup, and the group consisting of lenses L35 to L38 corresponds to the third subgroup. The parentheses and downward arrows below lenses L32 to L34 in Fig. 1 indicate that lenses L32 to L34 are image stabilization groups.

[0058] It is preferable that the image stabilization group includes a cemented lens in which a positive lens and a negative lens are cemented together. This is advantageous for correcting color bleeding during image blur correction. Furthermore, using a cemented lens makes it easier to assemble with high precision.

[0059] The vibration reduction group may be configured to include a cemented lens and a single lens, which is advantageous for correcting color bleeding during image blur correction.

[0060] Below, a description is given of a preferred configuration of the imaging lens of the present disclosure with respect to the conditional expressions. In the following description of the conditional expressions, to avoid redundancy, the same symbols are used for elements with the same definitions, and duplicate explanations of the symbols are omitted. Also, to avoid redundancy, hereinafter, "the imaging lens of the present disclosure" will also be referred to simply as "the imaging lens."

[0061] It is preferable that the imaging lens satisfy the following conditional expression (1). Here, DG1 is the distance on the optical axis from the lens surface of the first lens group G1 closest to the object to the lens surface of the first lens group G1 closest to the image. DA is the distance on the optical axis from the lens surface of the first lens group G1 closest to the object to the lens surface of the third lens group G3 closest to the image when focused on an object at infinity. FIG. 3 shows the imaging lens of FIG. 1, and illustrates the above-mentioned distances DG1 and DA as an example. Note that some of the lens reference symbols are omitted in FIG. 3. Ensuring that the value corresponding to conditional expression (1) is not equal to or less than the lower limit is advantageous for correcting spherical aberration. Ensuring that the value corresponding to conditional expression (1) is not equal to or greater than the upper limit is advantageous for reducing the weight of the optical system and the overall length of the lens system. 0.14 <DG1 / DA<0.5 (1)

[0062] To obtain better characteristics, the lower limit of conditional expression (1) should preferably be 0.16, more preferably 0.18, and even more preferably 0.2.To obtain better characteristics, the upper limit of conditional expression (1) should preferably be 0.4, more preferably 0.35, and even more preferably 0.3.

[0063] It is preferable that the imaging lens satisfy the following conditional expression (2). Here, the maximum half angle of view when focused on an object at infinity is defined as ωm. The unit of ωm is degrees. The maximum F-number when focused on an object at infinity is defined as Fno. As an example, FIG. 2 shows the above maximum half angle of view ωm. By ensuring that the corresponding value of conditional expression (2) is not equal to or less than the lower limit, it becomes easy to reduce the maximum F-number while widening the angle of view and ensuring a large image circle. By ensuring that the corresponding value of conditional expression (2) is not equal to or greater than the upper limit, it becomes easy to suppress an increase in the number of lenses and an increase in the size of the optical system while obtaining good optical performance. 0.02<(tanωm) / Fno<0.15 (2)

[0064] To obtain better characteristics, the lower limit of conditional expression (2) should preferably be set to 0.03, more preferably 0.04, and even more preferably 0.05.To obtain better characteristics, the upper limit of conditional expression (2) should preferably be set to 0.1, more preferably 0.09, and even more preferably 0.085.

[0065] It is preferable that the imaging lens satisfy the following conditional expression (3). Here, the average value of the Abbe numbers of all the positive lenses included in the first lens group G1 based on the d-line is defined as ν1pave. Ensuring that the corresponding value of conditional expression (3) is not equal to or smaller than the lower limit thereof is advantageous for good correction of longitudinal chromatic aberration. Ensuring that the corresponding value of conditional expression (3) is not equal to or larger than the upper limit thereof increases the availability of materials, allowing the use of materials that are easier to manufacture. 55<ν1pave<95 (3)

[0066] In order to obtain better characteristics, the lower limit of conditional expression (3) should preferably be set to 60, more preferably to 63, and even more preferably to 65. In order to obtain better characteristics, the upper limit of conditional expression (3) should preferably be set to 90, more preferably to 80, and even more preferably to 78.

[0112] The above-described preferred and possible configurations, including those relating to the conditional expressions, can be arbitrarily combined, and are preferably selectively adopted as appropriate according to the required specifications.

[0114] Next, examples of the imaging lens of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. The reference symbols assigned to the lens groups and lenses in the cross-sectional views of each example are used independently for each example to avoid cluttering the explanations and drawings due to an increase in the number of digits in the reference symbols. Therefore, even if common reference symbols are assigned in drawings of different examples, this does not necessarily mean that the configuration is the same.

[0115] [Example 1] A cross-sectional view of the configuration of the imaging lens of Example 1 is shown in Figure 1, and since the illustration method and configuration are as described above, some overlapping explanations will be omitted here.

The focusing group comprises the second lens group G2, and when focusing from an object at infinity to an object at a close distance, the second lens group G2 moves toward the image side along the optical axis Z. The image stabilization group comprises lenses L32 to L34.

[0116] For the imaging lens of Example 1, basic lens data is shown in Table 1, specifications are shown in Table 2, and variable surface spacings are shown in Table 3.

[0117] The table of basic lens data is written as follows. The "Sn" column shows the surface number, with the surface closest to the object being surface 1 and the numbers increasing by one as you move toward the image side. The "R" column shows the radius of curvature of each surface. The "D" column shows the surface spacing on the optical axis between each surface and its adjacent surface on the image side. The "Nd" column shows the refractive index of each lens relative to the d-line. The "νd" column shows the Abbe number of each lens based on the d-line.

[0118] In the basic lens data table, the sign of the radius of curvature of a surface with a convex shape facing the object side is positive, and the sign of the radius of curvature of a surface with a convex shape facing the image side is negative. The surface number and the phrase (St) are entered in the column for the surface number corresponding to the aperture stop St. The basic lens data table also shows the optical element PP. The value in the bottom column of the D column in the table is the distance between the surface closest to the image side in the table and the image plane Sim. The symbol DD[ ] is used to indicate the variable surface distance during focusing, and the surface number on the object side of this distance is entered in the [ ] in the surface distance column.

[0119] Table 2 shows the focal length (f) of the imaging lens, the back focal length (Bf) in air equivalent distance, the maximum F-number (Fno), and the maximum full-field angle (2ωm) based on the d-line. The [°] in the maximum full-field angle column indicates that the unit is degrees. Table 2 shows the values ​​when focused on an object at infinity.

[0120] In Table 3, the "infinity" column shows the variable surface spacing when focused on an object at infinity. The topmost column on the rightmost column shows the object distance of a close object, and the column below that shows the variable surface spacing when focused on this close object. For example, in Example 1, the object distance of the close object is 0.91 m (meters). Note that the "object distance" is the distance on the optical axis from the object to the lens surface closest to the object.

[0121] In the data in each table, degrees are used as the unit of angle, and mm (millimeters) are used as the unit of length other than the object distance, but since the optical system can be used with proportional enlargement or reduction, other appropriate units can also be used. Also, in each table shown below, values ​​are rounded to a predetermined number of digits.
