During focusing, the first lens group does not move, and the second lens group moves. When the focal length of the optical system is f, the focal length of the second lens group is f2, the Abbe number based on the d-line of the most object-side negative lens among at least one negative lens included in the first lens group is νdgn1, and the minimum value of the specific gravity of each of all the lenses included in the second lens group is SG, -8.50 ≦ f2 / f ≦ -1.15 10.00 ≦ νdgn1 ≦ 31.00 0.80 ≦ SG ≦ 2.38 It is characterized by satisfying the following conditions.
[0006] Furthermore, another aspect of the present invention is that the optical system is characterized in that the first lens group has two or more positive lenses.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention
[0009] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, prior to the description of specific Examples 1 to 8, matters common to each example will be described.
[0010] FIG. 1, FIG. 4, FIG. 7, FIG. 10, FIG. 13, FIG. 16, FIG. 19, and FIG. 22 each show a cross-section of the optical system L0 of Examples 1 to 8 in a state of being focused on an object at infinity (hereinafter referred to as the infinity focusing state). The optical system L0 of each example is used in various imaging devices such as digital video cameras, digital still cameras, silver halide film cameras, broadcast cameras, and surveillance cameras.
[0011] In each figure, the left side is the object side (front), and the right side is the image side (rear). The optical system L0 of each embodiment has multiple lens groups. A lens group is a collection of one or more lenses that move together or remain stationary during focusing. That is, in the optical system L0 of each embodiment, the distance between adjacent lens groups changes during focusing. The lens groups may include aperture diaphragms.
[0012] In each diagram, Li represents the i-th lens group (i=1,2,3) counting from the object. Below the lens group that moves during focusing (focus group) in each diagram, an arrow indicates the direction of movement of the focus group when focusing from infinity to near distance.
[0013] SP stands for aperture diaphragm. IP stands for image plane. The image plane IP is where the imaging surface (light-receiving surface) of an image sensor such as a CCD sensor or CMOS sensor, or the film surface (photosensitive surface) of a silver halide film, is located.
[0014] The optical system L0 of each embodiment has a first lens group L1 with positive refractive power and a second lens group L2 with negative refractive power, arranged in order from the object side to the image side. By making the refractive power of the first lens group L1 positive and the refractive power of the second lens group L2 negative, the diameter of the light beam incident on the second lens group L2 is reduced, making it possible to miniaturize and lighten the focusing group.
[0015] Furthermore, in the optical system L0 of each embodiment, the second lens group L2, which acts as the focusing group, moves during focusing. This makes it possible to suppress fluctuations in the angle of view that occur during focusing.
[0016] Furthermore, the optical system L0 of each embodiment satisfies at least one of the following conditions (1) to (3).
[0017] -8.50 ≤ f² / f ≤ -1.15 (1) 10.00 ≤ νdgn1 ≤ 31.00 (2) 0.80 ≤ SG ≤ 2.38 (3) In the above equation, f is the focal length of the entire optical system L0, and f2 is the focal length of the second lens group L2. νdgn1 is the Abbe number with reference to the d line of the negative lens Gn1, the negative lens closest to the object (hereinafter referred to as the "negative lens closest to the object") among the at least one negative lens included in the first lens group L1. SG is the minimum specific gravity of each lens included in the second lens group L2. The specific gravity of a lens here is the ratio of its mass to the same volume of water.
[0018] The conditions in equation (1) show an appropriate relationship between the focal length f2 of the second lens group L2, which is the focusing group, and the focal length f of the entire optical system L0. If lenses with high refractive power made of resin material are used in the optical system for weight reduction, aberration fluctuations due to temperature changes will be large. Equation (1) shows the conditions for giving the focusing group an appropriate refractive power while suppressing aberration fluctuations due to temperature changes. If the focal length of the focusing group becomes shorter, i.e., the refractive power of the focusing group becomes larger, so that f2 / f exceeds the upper limit of equation (1), this is undesirable because aberration fluctuations due to temperature changes will be large. If the focal length of the focusing group becomes longer, i.e., the refractive power of the focusing group becomes smaller, so that f2 / f falls below the lower limit of equation (1), this is undesirable because the amount of movement of the focusing group during focusing will be large, and the optical system L0 will become larger.
[0019] Furthermore, it is more preferable to set the lower limit of equation (1) to -8.40, -8.30, -8.20, or -8.10. Also, it is more preferable to set the upper limit of equation (1) to -1.20, -1.25, or -1.29.
[0020] The conditions in equation (2) indicate an appropriate range for the Abbe number of the negative lens Gn1 on the object side. The second lens group L2 uses a material with negative refractive power and a large partial dispersion ratio θgF for the g-line (wavelength 435.8 nm) and F-line (wavelength 486.1 nm), which has a large impact on lateral chromatic aberration. Therefore, it is necessary to suppress lateral chromatic aberration by using a material with a large partial dispersion ratio θgF for the g-line and F-line for the negative lens Gn1 on the object side. The appropriate range for the material of the negative lens Gn1 on the object side in this case is the range in equation (2). If νdgn1 exceeds the upper limit of equation (2), it is advantageous for suppressing axial chromatic aberration, but it is undesirable because it becomes difficult to suppress lateral chromatic aberration. If νdgn1 falls below the lower limit of equation (2), it is advantageous for suppressing lateral chromatic aberration, but it is undesirable because it becomes difficult to suppress axial chromatic aberration.
[0021] Furthermore, it is more preferable to set the lower limit of equation (2) to 12.00, 14.00, 16.00, or 17.00. Also, it is more preferable to set the upper limit of equation (2) to 30.70, 30.40, or 30.10.
[0022] The conditions in equation (3) indicate an appropriate range for the minimum specific gravity of each lens in the second lens group L2. If SG exceeds the upper limit of equation (3), all lenses in the second lens group L2 become glass lenses, increasing the weight of the focusing group, which is undesirable. If SG falls below the lower limit of equation (3), it becomes difficult to create a lens with a refractive power suitable for focusing, which is also undesirable.
[0023] Furthermore, it is more preferable to set the lower limit of equation (3) to 0.85, 0.90, 0.95, or 1.00. Also, it is more preferable to set the upper limit of equation (3) to 2.00, 1.70, 1.50, or 1.30.
[0024] By satisfying the above configuration and the conditions of equations (1) to (3), the optical system L0 of each embodiment can reduce the weight of the focus group, minimize its movement, and achieve high optical performance.
[0025] The optical system L0 of each embodiment preferably satisfies at least one of the following equations (4) to (13).
[0026] 2.00 ≤ TL / f ≤ 7.00 (4) -2.00 ≤ fgn1 / f ≤ -0.50 (5) 15.00 ≤ νdgp1 ≤ 40.00 (6) 1.80 ≤ Ndgn1 ≤ 2.15 (7) -5.00≦(Rn2+Rn1) / (Rn2-Rn1)≦-1.00 (8) 0.70 ≤ f1 / f ≤ 1.20 (9) 0.20 ≤ DF / f ≤ 1.50 (10) 0.14 ≤ SK / TL ≤ 0.30 (11) 0.35 ≤ Db1 / TL ≤ 0.70 (12) 0.00 <Db2 / TL≦0.10 (13) In the above formula, TL is the distance along the optical axis from the lens surface closest to the object in the optical system L0 to the image plane IP, and is the total optical length. fgn1 is the focal length of the negative lens Gn1 closest to the object. νdgp1 is the Abbe number with reference to the d line of the positive lens Gp1 closest to the object (hereinafter referred to as the positive lens closest to the object) among the at least one positive lens included in the first lens group L1. Ndgn1 is the refractive index of the negative lens Gn1 closest to the object at the d line. Rn1 is the radius of curvature of the lens surface on the object side of the negative lens Gn1 closest to the object, and Rn2 is the radius of curvature of the lens surface on the image side of the negative lens Gn1 closest to the object. f1 is the focal length of the first lens group L1. DF is the distance along the optical axis from the lens surface closest to the image in the second lens group L2 in the infinity focus state to the lens surface on the object side of the lens adjacent to the image side in the second lens group L2, or to the image plane IP. SK is the air-equivalent distance from the image-side lens surface to the image plane IP in the optical system L0, and is the back focus. Db1 is the sum of the thicknesses along the optical axis of all lenses included in the first lens group L1. Db2 is the sum of the thicknesses along the optical axis of all lenses included in the second lens group L2.
[0027] The conditions in equation (4) indicate an appropriate relationship between the total optical length TL of the optical system L0 and the focal length f of the entire optical system L0. If TL / f exceeds the upper limit of equation (4), the total optical length is not long enough, and the optical system L0 becomes large, which is undesirable. If TL / f falls below the lower limit of equation (4), it is not possible to secure the air gap necessary to suppress various aberrations such as spherical aberration and chromatic aberration, and an increase in weight due to an increase in the number of lenses occurs, which is also undesirable.
[0028] Furthermore, it is more preferable to set the lower limit of equation (4) to 2.10, 2.20, or 2.30. Also, it is more preferable to set the upper limit of equation (4) to 6.80, 6.60, or 6.50.
[0029] The conditions in equation (5) indicate an appropriate relationship between the focal length fgn1 of the negative lens Gn1 on the outermost side and the focal length f of the entire optical system L0. If fgn1 / f exceeds the upper limit of equation (5), the negative refractive power of the negative lens Gn1 on the outermost side becomes too strong, increasing distortion, which is undesirable. If fgn1 / f falls below the lower limit of equation (5), the negative refractive power of the negative lens Gn1 on the outermost side becomes too weak, increasing astigmatism, which is also undesirable.
[0030] Furthermore, it is more preferable to set the lower limit of equation (5) to -1.96, -1.93, or -1.91. Also, it is more preferable to set the upper limit of equation (5) to -0.55, -0.58, or -0.60.
[0031] The conditions in equation (6) indicate an appropriate range for the Abbe number νdgn1 of the closest positive lens Gp1. If νdgn1 exceeds the upper limit of equation (6), it becomes difficult to suppress axial chromatic aberration, which is undesirable. If νdgn1 falls below the lower limit of equation (6), it becomes difficult to suppress lateral chromatic aberration, which is also undesirable.
[0032] Furthermore, it is more preferable to set the lower limit of equation (6) to 17.25, 20.00, or 22.00. Also, it is more preferable to set the upper limit of equation (6) to 38.00, 37.00, or 36.00.
[0033] The conditions in equation (7) indicate an appropriate range for the refractive index Ndgn1 of the negative lens Gn1 on the object side. If Ndgn1 exceeds the upper limit of equation (7), distortion increases, and the partial dispersion ratio θgF for the g-line and F-line becomes large, making it difficult to suppress axial chromatic aberration, which is undesirable. If Ndgn1 falls below the lower limit of equation (7), it becomes difficult to suppress lateral chromatic aberration and field curvature, which is also undesirable.
[0034] Furthermore, it is more preferable to set the lower limit of equation (7) to 1.82, 1.83, or 1.84. Also, it is more preferable to set the upper limit of equation (8) to 2.10, 2.05, or 2.00.
[0035] The conditions in equation (8) indicate an appropriate range for the shape factor (Rn2+Rn1) / (Rn2-Rn1) of the object-side negative lens Gn1. If the shape factor exceeds the upper limit of equation (8), the radius of curvature of the object-side lens surface becomes too small compared to the radius of curvature of the image-side lens surface of the object-side negative lens Gn1, which increases field curvature and is therefore undesirable. If the shape factor falls below the lower limit of equation (8), it is advantageous in suppressing field curvature, but it is undesirable because the lens diameter of the object-side negative lens Gn1 becomes larger, and the optical system L0 becomes larger.
[0036] Furthermore, it is more preferable to set the lower limit of equation (8) to -4.75, -4.60, or -4.50. Also, it is more preferable to set the upper limit of equation (8) to -1.05, -1.08, or -1.10.
[0037] The conditions in equation (9) indicate an appropriate relationship between the focal length f1 of the first lens group L1 and the focal length f of the entire optical system L0. If f1 / f exceeds the upper limit of equation (9), the refractive power of the first lens group L1 becomes too weak, which is undesirable because it increases the overall optical length. If f1 / f falls below the lower limit of equation (9), it is advantageous for miniaturizing the focusing group, but it is undesirable because it increases spherical aberration and axial chromatic aberration.
[0038] Furthermore, it is more preferable to set the lower limit of equation (9) to 0.71, 0.72, or 0.73. Also, it is more preferable to set the upper limit of equation (9) to 1.17, 1.14, or 1.12.
[0039] The conditions in equation (10) indicate an appropriate relationship between the distance DF of the second lens group L2 in the infinity focus state and the focal length f of the optical system L0. If DF / f exceeds the upper limit of equation (10), the overall optical length increases and the optical system L0 becomes larger, which is undesirable. If DF / f falls below the lower limit of equation (10), it becomes impossible to secure the amount of movement of the second lens group L2 necessary for focusing, which is also undesirable.
[0040] Furthermore, it is more preferable to set the lower limit of equation (10) to 0.23, 0.26, 0.30, or 0.32. Also, it is more preferable to set the upper limit of equation (10) to 1.40, 1.30, or 1.20.
[0041] The conditions in equation (11) indicate an appropriate relationship between the back focus SK and the total optical length TL. If SK / TL exceeds the upper limit of equation (11), the spacing between the lenses constituting the optical system L0 becomes too narrow, making it difficult to suppress spherical aberration and chromatic aberration, which is undesirable. If SK / TL falls below the lower limit of equation (11), the back focus SK becomes too short, increasing spherical aberration and coma aberration, which is also undesirable. Furthermore, it is more preferable to set the lower limit of equation (11) to 0.15 or 0.16. Also, it is more preferable to set the upper limit of equation (11) to 0.29, 0.28, or 0.27.
[0042] The conditions in equation (12) indicate an appropriate relationship between the sum of the lens thicknesses Db1 of the first lens group L1 and the total optical length TL. If Db1 / TL exceeds the upper limit of equation (12), the thickness of the first lens group L1 becomes too large, making it unsuitable for weight reduction, which is undesirable. If Db1 / TL falls below the lower limit of equation (12), it becomes difficult to suppress various aberrations, which is also undesirable.
[0043] Furthermore, it is more preferable to set the lower limit of equation (12) to 0.37, 0.39, or 0.40. Also, it is more preferable to set the upper limit of equation (12) to 0.69 or 0.68.
[0044] The conditions in equation (13) indicate an appropriate relationship between the sum of the lens thicknesses Db2 of the second lens group L2 and the total optical length TL. If Db2 / TL exceeds the upper limit of equation (13), the thickness of the second lens group L2 becomes too large, resulting in a larger focusing group and making it unsuitable for miniaturizing the optical system L0, which is undesirable. If Db2 / TL falls below the lower limit of equation (13), the thickness of the second lens group L2 is small, but it becomes difficult to mold at least one of the lenses constituting the second lens group L2, which is also undesirable.
[0045] Furthermore, it is more preferable to set the lower limit of formula (13) to 0.005, 0.007, or 0.009. Also, it is more preferable to set the upper limit of formula (13) to 0.09, 0.08, or 0.07.
[0046] Furthermore, it is preferable that the optical system L0 of each embodiment satisfies at least one of the following configurations.
[0047] The lens closest to the image in the optical system L0 preferably has a negative refractive power. This makes it possible to reduce the diameter of the lens closest to the image.
[0048] The first lens group L1 is preferably composed of eight or fewer lenses. This facilitates miniaturization and weight reduction of the entire optical system L0.
[0049] The second lens group L2 is preferably composed of two or fewer lenses. This facilitates weight reduction of the focusing group.
[0050] The optical system L0 is preferably composed of 10 or fewer lenses. This facilitates miniaturization and weight reduction of the optical system L0. Note that if two lenses are joined together to form a single cemented lens, the number of lenses is considered to be 2.
[0051] Next, the optical systems L0 of Examples 1 to 8 will be described in detail. Following the description of Example 8, numerical examples 1 to 8 corresponding to each of Examples 1 to 8 will be shown.
[0052] The optical system L0 of Embodiment 1 shown in Figure 1 and Embodiment 3 shown in Figure 7 consists of a first lens group L1 positioned closest to the object, a second lens group L2 adjacent to the first lens group L1 on the image side, and a third lens group L3 positioned closest to the image.

The optical system L0 of this embodiment consists of nine lenses.
[0053] The optical system L0 of Embodiment 2 shown in Figure 4 consists of a first lens group L1 positioned closest to the object and a second lens group L2 adjacent to the first lens group L1 on the image side (positioned closest to the image).

[0054] The optical system L0 of Embodiment 4 shown in Figure 10 consists of a first lens group L1 positioned closest to the object, a second lens group L2 adjacent to the first lens group L1 on the image side, and a third lens group L3 positioned closest to the image. The object-side negative lens Gn1 is positioned closest to the object in the first lens group L1, and the object-side positive lens Gp1 is positioned third from the object side. The first lens group L1 consists of six lenses and includes an aperture diaphragm SP. The focusing group is the second lens group L2, which consists of two lenses. Of these two lenses, the image-side lens is a resin lens. The optical system L0 of this embodiment consists of ten lenses.
[0055] The optical system L0 of Embodiment 5 shown in Figure 13 consists of a first lens group L1 positioned closest to the object, a second lens group L2 adjacent to the first lens group L1 on the image side, and a third lens group L3 positioned closest to the image. The object-side negative lens Gn1 is positioned closest to the object in the first lens group L1, and the object-side positive lens Gp1 is positioned third from the object side. The first lens group L1 consists of six lenses and includes an aperture diaphragm SP. The focusing group is the second lens group L2, which consists of a cemented lens formed by joining two lenses. The image-side lens of the cemented lens is a resin lens. The optical system L0 of this embodiment consists of 10 lenses.
[0056] The optical system L0 of Embodiment 6 shown in Figure 16, Embodiment 7 shown in Figure 19, and Embodiment 8 shown in Figure 22 consists of a first lens group L1 positioned closest to the object, a second lens group L2 adjacent to the first lens group L1 on the image side, and a third lens group L3 positioned closest to the image. The object-side positive lens Gp1 is positioned closest to the object in the first lens group L1, and the object-side positive lens Gn1 is positioned second from the object side. The first lens group L1 consists of seven lenses and includes an aperture diaphragm SP. The focusing group is the second lens group L2, which consists of one resin lens. The optical system L0 of this embodiment consists of ten lenses.
[0057] Numerical examples 1 to 8 are shown below. In the surface data for each numerical example, the surface number m indicates the order of the surfaces when counted from the object side. r (mm) is the radius of curvature of the m-th surface, and d (mm) represents the lens thickness or air gap on the optical axis between the m-th surface and the (m+1)-th surface. Also, nd is the refractive index of the optical material at the d-line between the m-th surface and the (m+1)-th surface, and νd is the Abbe number of the optical material between the m-th surface and the (m+1)-th surface with respect to the d-line. The Abbe number νd with respect to the d-line is given by Nd, NF, and NC, respectively, when the refractive indices at the d-line (587.56 nm), F-line (486.13 nm), and C-line (656.27 nm) are Nd, NF, and NC, respectively. νd = (Nd-1) / (NF-NC) It is expressed as follows. Furthermore, θgF represents the partial dispersion ratio of the optical material between the m-th plane and the (m+1)-th plane with respect to the g-line (435.84 nm) and the F-line. The partial dispersion ratio θgF is given by, when the refractive index at the g-line is Ng, θgF = (Ng - NF) / (NF - NC) It is represented as follows. Also, sg represents the specific gravity of the optical material between the m-th plane and the (m+1)-th plane.
[0058] In each numerical example, the interplanar spacing d (mm), focal length (mm), F-number, and paraxially calculated half-angle of view (°) are all values for the infinity focus state. The back focus SK is, as mentioned above, the air-equivalent distance along the optical axis from the image-side lens surface (final surface) of the optical system L0 to the image plane IP. The total lens length is the distance from the object-side lens surface (first surface) to the final surface of the optical system L0 plus the back focus, and corresponds to the optical total length mentioned above. The asterisk (*) next to the surface number indicates that the surface has an aspherical shape. The aspherical shape is expressed by the following formula, where x is the displacement from the surface vertex in the optical axis direction, h is the height from the optical axis in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis, the direction of light propagation is positive, R is the radius of paraxial curvature, K is the cone constant, and A4, A6, A8, and A10 are aspherical coefficients. The cone constant and aspherical coefficients "e±M" are multiplied by 10⁻¹⁴. ±M It means...
[0059] x=( h 2 / R) / [1+√{1-(1+K)(h / R) 2}] +A4×h 4 +A6×h 6 +A8×h 8 +A10×h 10 Furthermore, Table 1 summarizes the values of the conditions in equations (1) to (13) for optical system L0 in numerical examples 1 to 8. Each numerical example satisfies all the conditions in equations (1) to (13).
[0060] Furthermore, Figures 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, and 23 show the longitudinal aberrations (spherical aberration, astigmatism, distortion, and chromatic aberration) of the optical system L0 for numerical examples 1 to 8 in the infinity focus state, respectively. Figures 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, and 24 show the longitudinal aberrations of the optical system L0 for numerical examples 1 to 8 in the near focus state (close focus state), respectively. In the spherical aberration diagram, Fno is the F number, the solid line shows the spherical aberration at the d line (wavelength 587.6 nm), and the dashed line shows the spherical aberration at the g line (wavelength 435.8 nm). In the astigmatism diagram, the solid line S shows the astigmatism at the sagittal image plane, and the dashed line M shows the astigmatism at the meridional image plane.
