[0008] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below. First, a camera (optical device) equipped with an optical system according to each embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 7. As shown in FIG. 7, this camera 1 is composed of a main body 2 and a photographic lens 3 attached to the main body 2. The main body 2 is equipped with an image sensor 4, a main body control unit (not shown) that controls the operation of the digital camera, and an LCD screen 5. The photographic lens 3 is equipped with an optical system OL consisting of multiple lens groups, and a lens position control mechanism (not shown) that controls the position of each lens group. The lens position control mechanism is composed of a sensor that detects the position of the lens groups, a motor that moves the lens groups back and forth along the optical axis, a control circuit that drives the motor, etc.

[0009] Light from the subject is collected by the optical system OL of the photographing lens 3 and reaches the image plane I of the image sensor 4. The light from the subject that reaches the image plane I is photoelectrically converted by the image sensor 4 and recorded as digital image data in a memory (not shown). The digital image data recorded in the memory can be displayed on the liquid crystal screen 5 in response to a user operation. Note that this camera may be a mirrorless camera or a single-lens reflex camera with a quick-return mirror.

[0010] Next, an optical system according to a first embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, an optical system OL(1) as an example of an optical system (photographing lens) OL according to the first embodiment is composed of, in order from the object side along the optical axis, a leading lens group GA having negative refractive power and a trailing lens group GB having positive refractive power. The trailing lens group GB has a focusing group GF having positive refractive power and arranged closest to the object side of the trailing lens group GB, and an image-side group GC arranged closer to the image side than the focusing group GF. When focusing from an object at infinity to a close-distance object, the focusing group GF moves toward the image side along the optical axis.

[0011] With the above-described configuration, the optical system OL according to the first embodiment satisfies the following conditional expression (1). 0.78 <fB / fC<1.00 ···(1) where fB is the focal length of the subsequent lens group GB when focusing on an object at infinity fC: focal length of the image-side group GC when focusing on an object at infinity

[0012] According to the first embodiment, it is possible to obtain an optical system with little fluctuation in the angle of view during focusing, and an optical device equipped with this optical system. The optical system OL according to the first embodiment may be the optical system OL(2) shown in Fig. 3 or the optical system OL(3) shown in Fig. 5.

[0013] Conditional expression (1) defines an appropriate relationship between the focal length of the rear lens group GB when focusing on an object at infinity and the focal length of the image-side lens group GC when focusing on an object at infinity. By satisfying conditional expression (1), fluctuations in the angle of view during focusing can be reduced.

[0014] If the value corresponding to conditional expression (1) falls outside the above range, it becomes difficult to suppress fluctuations in the angle of view during focusing. By setting the lower limit of conditional expression (1) to 0.79, 0.80, 0.81, 0.82, or even 0.83, the effects of this embodiment can be more reliably achieved. Furthermore, by setting the upper limit of conditional expression (1) to 0.98, 0.96, 0.95, or even 0.94, the effects of this embodiment can be more reliably achieved.

[0015] It is desirable that the optical system OL according to the first embodiment satisfy the following conditional expression (2). 0.010 <BLDF / TL<0.160 ···(2) However, TL: total length of optical system OL BLDF: Length of focusing group GF on the optical axis

[0016] Condition (2) defines the appropriate relationship between the axial length of the focusing group GF and the overall length of the optical system OL. Satisfying condition (2) makes it possible to reduce the weight of the focusing group and achieve high-speed focusing.

[0017] If the value corresponding to conditional expression (2) falls outside the above range, it becomes difficult to reduce the weight of the focusing group.

By satisfying conditional expression (3), fluctuations in the angle of view during focusing can be reduced.

[0022] If the value corresponding to conditional expression (3) falls outside the above range, it becomes difficult to suppress fluctuations in the angle of view during focusing. By setting the lower limit of conditional expression (3) to 1.40, 1.80, 2.20, 2.50, or even 2.60, the effects of this embodiment can be further ensured.

By satisfying condition (4), various aberrations such as field curvature can be effectively corrected.

[0028] If the value corresponding to conditional expression (4) falls outside the above range, it becomes difficult to correct various aberrations such as field curvature. By setting the lower limit of conditional expression (4) to 0.60, 0.70, 0.75, 0.80, 0.85, 0.90, 0.95, or even 0.98, the effects of each embodiment can be more reliably achieved. Furthermore, by setting the upper limit of conditional expression (4) to 1.45, 1.40, 1.35, 1.30, 1.25, 1.20, 1.18, or even 1.15, the effects of each embodiment can be more reliably achieved.

[0029] It is desirable that the optical systems OL according to the first and second embodiments satisfy the following conditional expression (5). -3.00<(rL1R2+rL1R1) / (rL1R2-rL1R1)<0.00 ···(5) where rL1R1 is the radius of curvature of the lens surface on the object side of the lens arranged closest to the object side in the optical system OL. rL1R2: Radius of curvature of the image-side lens surface of the lens located closest to the object in the optical system OL

[0030] Condition (5) defines an appropriate shape factor for the lens element located closest to the object in optical system OL. Satisfying condition (5) enables good correction of coma and curvature of field.

[0031] If the value corresponding to conditional expression (5) falls outside the above range, it becomes difficult to correct coma and curvature of field. By setting the lower limit of conditional expression (5) to -2.70, -2.50, -2.30, -2.00, -1.80, or -1.70, the effects of each embodiment can be more reliably achieved. Furthermore, by setting the upper limit of conditional expression (5) to -0.40, -0.60, -0.80, -1.00, -1.20, or -1.30, the effects of each embodiment can be more reliably achieved.

[0033] Conditional formula (6) defines the appropriate shape factor for the second lens element in optical system OL, counting from the object side. Satisfying conditional formula (6) enables good correction of coma and curvature of field.

[0034] If the value corresponding to conditional expression (6) falls outside the above range, it becomes difficult to correct coma aberration and field curvature.

Furthermore, by setting the upper limit of conditional expression (10) to 0.27, 0.25, 0.23, 0.20, 0.18, 0.16, or even 0.15, the effects of each embodiment can be more reliably achieved.

[0045] It is desirable that the optical systems OL according to the first and second embodiments satisfy the following conditional expression (11). 1.50 <fF / f<4.50 ···(11) where fF is the focal length of the focusing group GF f: focal length of optical system OL when focusing on an object at infinity

[0046] Conditional expression (11) defines an appropriate relationship between the focal length of the focusing group GF and the focal length of the optical system OL when focusing on an object at infinity. By satisfying conditional expression (11), good optical performance can be obtained both when focusing on an object at infinity and when focusing on a close object.

[0052] Conditional expression (13) defines an appropriate range for the distance on the optical axis from the lens surface closest to the object in the optical system OL to the lens surface closest to the object in the focusing group GF. Satisfying conditional expression (13) is preferable because it allows the focusing group GF to be positioned closer to the object in the optical system OL. Setting the lower limit of conditional expression (13) to 0.18, 0.20, 0.22, or even 0.23 can further enhance the effects of each embodiment.

[0057] Condition (15) defines an appropriate range for the magnification of the focusing group GF when focusing on an object at infinity. By satisfying condition (15), fluctuations in the angle of view when focusing can be reduced.

[0058] If the value corresponding to conditional expression (15) is outside the above range, it becomes difficult to suppress fluctuations in the angle of view during focusing.

[0059] Next, with reference to FIG. 8, a manufacturing method of the optical system OL according to the first and second embodiments will be outlined. First, a leading lens group GA having negative refractive power and a trailing lens group GB having positive refractive power are arranged, in order from the object side along the optical axis (Step ST1). Next, a focusing group GF having positive refractive power is arranged closest to the object side of the trailing lens group GB, and an image-side group GC is arranged closer to the image side than the focusing group GF of the trailing lens group GB (Step ST2). Next, the focusing group GF is configured to move toward the image side along the optical axis when focusing from an object at infinity to a close object (Step ST3). Then, in the case of the optical system OL according to the first embodiment, each lens is arranged in the lens barrel so as to satisfy at least the above conditional expression (1) (Step ST4). In the case of the optical system OL according to the second embodiment, each lens is arranged in the lens barrel so as to satisfy at least the above conditional expression (3) (Step ST4). This manufacturing method makes it possible to manufacture an optical system with little fluctuation in the angle of view during focusing. [Example]

[0060] Optical systems OL according to examples of each embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. Figures 1, 3, and 5 are cross-sectional views showing the configuration and refractive power distribution of optical systems OL {OL(1) to OL(3)} according to first to third examples. In the cross-sectional views of the optical systems OL(1) to OL(3) according to first to third examples, arrows indicate the direction of movement of each lens group along the optical axis when focusing from infinity to a close-distance object.

[0061] 1, 3, and 5, each lens group and each group is represented by a combination of the symbol G and a number, and each lens is represented by a combination of the symbol L and a number. In this case, to prevent the symbols and numbers from becoming too numerous and complicated, each embodiment uses its own unique combination of symbols and numbers to represent the lens groups, etc. Therefore, even if the same combination of symbols and numbers is used between embodiments, this does not mean that the embodiments have the same configuration.

[0062] Tables 1 to 3 are shown below, with Table 1 showing data on various elements in Example 1, Table 2 showing data on various elements in Example 2, and Table 3 showing data on various elements in Example 3. In each example, the d-line (wavelength λ=587.6 nm) and g-line (wavelength λ=435.8 nm) were selected as the targets for calculating aberration characteristics.

[0063] In the [Overall Specifications] table, f is the focal length of the entire lens system, FNO is the F-number, 2ω is the angle of view (units: ° (degrees), where ω is half the angle of view), and Y is the image height. TL is the distance from the frontmost lens surface to the last lens surface on the optical axis when focusing at infinity plus BF, and BF is the distance from the last lens surface on the optical axis to the image plane I when focusing at infinity (back focus). Also, in the [Overall Specifications] table, fA is the focal length of the leading lens group. fB is the focal length of the trailing lens group when focusing at infinity. fC is the focal length of the image-side group when focusing at infinity. fF is the focal length of the focusing group. βB is the magnification of the trailing lens group when focusing at infinity. βC is the magnification of the image-side group when focusing at infinity. βF is the magnification of the focusing group when focusing at infinity.

[0064] In the [Lens Specifications] table, the surface number indicates the order of the optical surface from the object side along the direction of light ray travel, R is the radius of curvature of each optical surface (surfaces whose center of curvature is on the image side have a positive value), D is the surface spacing, which is the distance on the optical axis from each optical surface to the next optical surface (or image plane), nd is the refractive index of the optical element material with respect to the d-line, and νd is the Abbe number of the optical element material with respect to the d-line. The "∞" next to the radius of curvature indicates a flat surface or an aperture, and (stop S) indicates the aperture stop S. The refractive index of air, nd = 1.00000, is omitted. If the optical surface is aspherical, an * is added to the surface number, and the paraxial radius of curvature is shown in the "radius of curvature R" column.

[0065] In the [Aspherical Data] table, the shape of the aspherical surface shown in [Lens Specifications] is shown by the following formula (A). X(y) is the distance (amount of sag) along the optical axis from the tangent plane at the vertex of the aspherical surface to the position on the aspherical surface at height y, R is the radius of curvature of the reference sphere (paraxial radius of curvature), κ is the conic constant, and Ai is the ith aspherical coefficient. "En" is the square root of the square root of the aspherical surface. -n For example, 1.234E-05 = 1.234 x 10 -5 The second-order aspherical coefficient A2 is 0, and is therefore omitted.

[0066] X(y)=(y 2 / R) / {1+(1-κ×y 2 / R 2 ) 1 / 2}+A4×y 4 +A6×y 6 +A8×y 8 +A10×y 10 +A12×y 12 …(A)

[0068] The [Lens Group Data] table shows the starting surface (the surface closest to the object) and focal length of each lens group.

[0069] In the following, for all specifications, the focal length f, radius of curvature R, surface spacing D, and other lengths are generally expressed in "mm" unless otherwise specified, but this is not limited to this, as the same optical performance can be obtained even when the optical system is proportionally enlarged or reduced.

[0070] The explanation of the tables up to this point is common to all the embodiments, and duplicate explanations will be omitted below.

[0071] (First Example) The first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 and Table 1.

When focusing from an object at infinity to a close object, the second lens group G2 moves along the optical axis toward the image side, and the fourth lens group G4 moves along the optical axis toward the object side, changing the spacing between adjacent lens groups. During focusing, the first lens group G1, the third lens group G3, and the fifth lens group G5 are fixed relative to the image plane I. An aperture stop S is disposed within the third lens group G3. The sign (+) or (-) attached to each lens group symbol indicates the refractive power of the lens group, and this also applies to all the following examples.

The negative meniscus lens L12 is a hybrid lens composed of a glass lens body with a resin layer provided on the object side surface. The image side surface of the resin layer is aspherical, making the negative meniscus lens L12 a hybrid aspherical lens. In the "Lens Specifications" section described below, surface number 3 indicates the object side surface of the lens body, surface number 4 indicates the image side surface of the lens body and the object side surface of the resin layer (the surface where the two are cemented), and surface number 5 indicates the image side surface of the resin layer.

An aperture diaphragm S is disposed between the negative lens L32 and the negative lens L33 in the third lens group G3.

[0075] The fourth lens group G4 is composed of a negative meniscus lens L41 with its concave surface facing the object side, and both lens surfaces of the negative meniscus lens L41 are aspherical.

[0076] The fifth lens group G5 is composed of a negative meniscus lens L51 with its concave surface facing the object side. An image surface I is located on the image side of the fifth lens group G5. Both lens surfaces of the negative meniscus lens L51 are aspherical.

[0077] In this embodiment, the first lens group G1 constitutes the leading lens group GA, which has a negative refractive power as a whole. The second lens group G2, the third lens group G3, the fourth lens group G4, and the fifth lens group G5 constitute the trailing lens group GB, which has a positive refractive power as a whole. The second lens group G2 constitutes the focusing group GF in the trailing lens group GB, and the third lens group G3, the fourth lens group G4, and the fifth lens group G5 constitute the image-side group GC in the trailing lens group GB.

[0080] FIG. 2A shows various aberration diagrams for the optical system of Example 1 when focusing at infinity. FIG. 2B shows various aberration diagrams for the optical system of Example 1 when focusing at close distances. In each aberration diagram for when focusing at infinity, FNO indicates the F-number, and Y indicates the image height. In each aberration diagram for when focusing at close distances, NA indicates the numerical aperture, and Y indicates the image height. Note that the spherical aberration diagram shows the F-number or numerical aperture value corresponding to the maximum aperture, the astigmatism diagram and distortion diagram show the maximum image height, and the coma diagram shows the value of each image height. d indicates the d-line (wavelength λ=587.6 nm), and g indicates the g-line (wavelength λ=435.8 nm). In the astigmatism diagram, the solid line indicates the sagittal image plane, and the dashed line indicates the meridional image plane. Note that the same symbols as in this example are used in the aberration diagrams of each example shown below, and redundant explanations will be omitted.

[0081] From the various aberration diagrams, it can be seen that the optical system of Example 1 has excellent imaging performance, with various aberrations being well corrected across the entire range from focusing at infinity to focusing at close distances. As a result, even when focusing on close objects, good optical performance can be maintained and fluctuations in the angle of view during focusing can be reduced.

When focusing from an object at infinity to a close object, the second lens group G2 moves along the optical axis toward the image side, and the fourth lens group G4 moves along the optical axis toward the object side, changing the spacing between adjacent lens groups. During focusing, the first lens group G1, the third lens group G3, and the fifth lens group G5 are fixed relative to the image plane I. An aperture stop S is disposed within the third lens group G3.

[0083] In the second embodiment, the first lens group G1, the second lens group G2, the third lens group G3, the fourth lens group G4, and the fifth lens group G5 are configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment, so the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment are used and detailed descriptions of these lenses are omitted. In this embodiment, the first lens group G1 constitutes the leading lens group GA, which has a negative refractive power as a whole. The second lens group G2, the third lens group G3, the fourth lens group G4, and the fifth lens group G5 constitute the trailing lens group GB, which has a positive refractive power as a whole. The second lens group G2 constitutes the focusing group GF in the trailing lens group GB, and the third lens group G3, the fourth lens group G4, and the fifth lens group G5 constitute the image-side group GC in the trailing lens group GB.

Fig. 4(B) is a diagram showing various aberrations of the optical system according to Example 2 when focusing at close distances. From these aberration diagrams, it can be seen that the optical system according to Example 2 has excellent imaging performance, with various aberrations being well corrected across the entire range from focusing at infinity to focusing at close distances.

[0096] Fig. 6(A) is a diagram showing various aberrations of the optical system according to Example 3 when focusing at infinity. Fig. 6(B) is a diagram showing various aberrations of the optical system according to Example 3 when focusing at close distances. From these aberration diagrams, it can be seen that the optical system according to Example 3 has excellent imaging performance, with various aberrations being well corrected across the entire range from focusing at infinity to focusing at close distances. Therefore, even when focusing on close-distance objects, it is possible to reduce fluctuations in the angle of view when focusing while maintaining good optical performance.

[0099] According to each of the above embodiments, an optical system with little fluctuation in the angle of view during focusing can be realized.

[0100] The above-described examples are merely illustrative examples of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these.

[0101] The following contents can be appropriately adopted within the scope that does not impair the optical performance of the optical system of this embodiment.

[0102] Although a five-group configuration has been shown as an example of the optical system of this embodiment, the present application is not limited to this, and variable magnification optical systems with other group configurations (e.g., six groups) can also be configured. Specifically, a lens or lens group may be added to the optical system of this embodiment closest to the object or closest to the image plane. Note that a lens group refers to a portion having at least one lens separated by an air gap that changes during focusing.

[0103] The lens group or partial lens group may be moved so as to have a component in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, or may be rotated (oscillated) in a plane including the optical axis, to serve as an image stabilization lens group that corrects image blur caused by camera shake.

[0104] The lens surface may be spherical, flat, or aspherical. Spherical or flat lens surfaces are preferred because they facilitate lens processing and assembly adjustment, and prevent degradation of optical performance due to errors in processing and assembly adjustment. Furthermore, they are preferred because they minimize degradation of imaging performance even when the image plane is misaligned.

[0105] If the lens surface is aspherical, the aspherical surface may be any of the following: a ground aspherical surface, a glass-molded aspherical surface in which glass is molded into an aspherical shape, or a hybrid aspherical surface in which a resin is formed into an aspherical shape on the surface of glass. The lens surface may also be a diffractive surface, or the lens may be a gradient index lens (GRIN lens) or a plastic lens.

[0106] It is preferable that the aperture stop be disposed in the third lens group, but it is also possible to use the lens frame to fulfill that role instead of providing a member serving as an aperture stop.

[0107] Each lens surface may be coated with an anti-reflection coating that has high transmittance over a wide wavelength range in order to reduce flare and ghosting and achieve high-contrast optical performance. [Explanation of symbols]
