[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In principle (unless otherwise specified) throughout the drawings for explaining the embodiments, the same components will be designated by the same reference numerals, and repeated explanations will be omitted.
[0010] [Zoom Lens Embodiment] FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of a zoom lens device. In (A) of the figure, a splitter element PR splits incident light (a light beam) into transmitted light and reflected light, splitting the light path into an optical path in which the light passes through the splitter element and travels straight (a straight optical path) and an optical path in which the light is reflected by the splitter element and travels straight (a folded optical path). In (B) of the figure, the folded optical path is schematically illustrated on a straight line. Each example of this embodiment is a (numerical) example of an optical system including the folded optical path. In the figure, from the object side to the image side, a focusing unit (a first lens group), a magnification unit (multiple lens groups that move during zooming), and an aperture stop SP are arranged. A splitter element PR is arranged closer to the image side than the aperture stop SP. In the folded optical path, an image is formed on an image plane IP via a relay unit LA (also referred to as a lens group LA) after passing through a long optical path PRL within the splitter element PR. The relay unit LA can be enlarged due to the long optical path length PRL.
[0011] This embodiment was created in recognition of the problem of such an increase in size. Here, the focal length at the wide-angle end of the optical system (zoom lens) including the straight optical path in which the relay unit LR is disposed is defined as Fw, and the focal length at the wide-angle end of the optical system including the folded optical path in which the relay unit LA is disposed is defined as FwP. To achieve a compact (small-diameter) relay unit LA and high optical performance of the zoom lens, it is preferable that the following conditions (conditional expressions; inequalities) be satisfied: 0.50 <FwP / Fw<0.80···(1) By satisfying the upper limit of equation (1), a configuration advantageous for a small relay unit LA can be obtained, thereby providing a zoom lens advantageous in terms of compactness. Furthermore, if the lower limit of equation (2) is not satisfied, the refractive power of the relay unit LA will be excessive, resulting in a deterioration in optical performance. It is more preferable that the following condition be satisfied: 0.50 <FwP / Fw<0.75···(1a) It is even more preferable that the following conditions are met: 0.60 <FwP / Fw<0.75···(1b) It is more preferable that the following conditions are met: 0.60 <FwP / Fw<0.70···(1c)
[0012] Here, the relay unit LA preferably includes, from the object side closest to the splitter element PR to the image side, a lens LAG1 having positive refractive power and a cemented lens LAG3A formed by cementing a positive lens and a negative lens. Off-axis light beams entering the relay unit LA become higher as they pass through the long optical path PRL within the splitter element PR. Therefore, the placement of the positive lens LAG1 allows the lens groups behind it to be made smaller. Furthermore, the placement of the cemented lens LAG3A can reduce the chromatic aberrations that result from this.
[0013] Furthermore, it is preferable that a lens group having positive refractive power is disposed adjacent to the object side of the aperture stop SP, and that this lens group moves toward the object side during zooming from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end. This configuration is advantageous for constructing a zoom lens with a high zoom ratio.
[0014] Furthermore, it is preferable that the following condition be satisfied, where the Abbe number of the positive lens included in the cemented lens LAG3A is νLAG2 and the Abbe number of the negative lens included in the cemented lens LAG3A is νLAG3. 30<νLAG2-νLAG3<80 (2) If the condition regarding the lower limit of the expression (3) is not satisfied, the chromatic aberration occurring in the first lens LAG1 will be undercorrected, and if the condition regarding the upper limit of the expression (3) is not satisfied, the correction will be excessive. It is more preferable that the following conditions are met: 33<νLAG2-νLAG3<80···(2a) It is even more preferable that the following conditions are met: 35<νLAG2-νLAG3<75···(2b)
[0015] Furthermore, it is preferable that the splitting element PR has an incident surface and a splitting surface that splits the light incident from the incident surface into the reflected light and the transmitted light, and that the reflected light from the splitting surface is reflected (e.g., totally reflected) by the incident surface and emitted from the splitting element PR. With this configuration, the overall length of the optical system including the relay unit LR is shortened, thereby providing a zoom lens that is advantageous in terms of compactness. Furthermore, it is preferable that the following condition be satisfied, where L is the distance from the aperture stop SP to the image plane IP (the image plane of the zoom lens through the relay unit LA) and PRL is the optical path length of the splitting element PR in the folded optical path (the optical path of the zoom lens via the relay unit LA). 0.35 <PRL / L<0.60···(3) If the condition for the lower limit of equation (3) is not met, the optical path length of the splitter element PR in the straight optical path will be long, resulting in an excessively long overall length of the zoom lens. If the condition for the upper limit of equation (3) is not met, the optical path length of the splitter element PR in the folded optical path will be long, resulting in an excessively large diameter of the relay section LA. It is more preferable that the following condition be satisfied: 0.38 <PRL / L<0.55···(3a) It is even more preferable that the following conditions are met: 0.41 <PRL / L<0.52···(3b)
[0016] In the zoom lens according to this embodiment, it is preferable that the relay unit LA has a lens LAG1 having positive refractive power arranged closest to the object, and a lens LAGN. It is also preferable that the following condition be satisfied, where fLA is the focal length of the relay unit LA and φLAG1R1 is the refractive power of the object-side surface LAG1R1 of the lens LAG1: 0.20<(fLA×φLAG1R1) -1 <1.00···(4) If the lower limit of equation (4) is not satisfied, the aberrations (e.g., spherical aberration and axial chromatic aberration) occurring at surface G1R1 will be excessive, which will be detrimental to achieving a zoom lens with high optical performance. If the upper limit of equation (4) is not satisfied, the effective diameter from surface G1R1 onwards will be excessively large, which will be detrimental to achieving a compact zoom lens. It is more preferable that the following condition be satisfied: 0.35<(fLA×φLAG1R1) -1 <0.80 (4a) It is even more preferable that the following conditions are met: 0.50<(fLA×φLAG1R1) -1 <0.60 (4b)
[0017] [Embodiment Related to Imaging Apparatus] FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of an imaging device. In the diagram, 101 is a zoom lens according to any one of Examples 1 to 5. 124 is a camera (imaging device) body. The zoom lens 101 is detachable from the camera body 124. 125 is an imaging device configured by attaching the zoom lens 101 to the camera body 124. The zoom lens 101 includes a first lens group F, two or more lens groups LZ that move during zooming (variable magnification), and a final lens group R. At least a portion of the first lens group F moves on the optical axis for focusing. The first lens group F includes, but is not limited to, a second subgroup 1b that moves on the optical axis for focusing, and a first subgroup 1a and a third subgroup 1c that do not move for focusing.
[0018] Two or more lens groups LZ for zooming move along the optical axis during zooming. SP is an aperture stop. The final lens group R may have a subgroup that can be inserted into or removed from the optical path. The focal length range of the zoom lens 101 can be changed by inserting or removing the subgroup. 114 and 115 are drive mechanisms for driving the second subgroup 1b and the two or more lens groups for zooming along the optical axis, respectively. The drive mechanisms may include a helicoid, a cam, or the like. 116 to 118 are motors (drive units) for driving the drive mechanisms 114 and 115 and the aperture stop SP, respectively. 119 to 121 are detectors for detecting the position of the second subgroup 1b on the optical axis, the position of the two or more lens groups for zooming on the optical axis, and the aperture diameter of the aperture stop SP, respectively. The detectors may include an encoder, potentiometer, photosensor, or the like. In the camera body 124, 109 is a glass block including an optical filter and the like, and 110 is an imaging element (photoelectric conversion element) that captures a subject image formed by the zoom lens 101. The imaging element can be configured to include a CCD or CMOS sensor. Also, 111 and 122 are CPUs serving as processing units (control units) in the camera body 124 and the zoom lens 101, respectively. In this way, by attaching the zoom lens according to the previous embodiment to the camera body, it is possible to provide a useful imaging device including the zoom lens that has the advantageous effects described above.

[0030] Numerical Examples 1 to 5 corresponding to the above-described Examples 1 to 5 are shown below. In each numerical example, r is the radius of curvature (mm) of the surface with the surface number (i-th), and d is the distance (lens thickness or air thickness; mm) between the i-th surface and the (i+1)-th surface. The (variable) in d indicates that the air thickness changes during zooming, and the correspondence between the air thickness and the focal length is shown in a separate table. nd is the refractive index of the material of the i-th optical element with respect to the d-line. νd is the Abbe number of the material of the i-th optical element with respect to the d-line. The Abbe number νd is defined by the following equation: νd=(nd-1) / (nF-nC) (A) Here, nF, nd, and nC are refractive indices for the F line (wavelength 486.1 nm), d line (wavelength 587.6 nm), and C line (wavelength 656.3 nm) of the Fraunhofer lines.
[0031] In each numerical example, the half angle of view (°) of the zoom lens is shown, and the maximum image height corresponding to that half angle of view is shown as "image height." The focal length of each lens group is also shown as lens group data. The back focus (mm) is also shown as "BF." The back focus is the distance on the optical axis from the image-side surface of the lens closest to the image (the final surface of the zoom lens) that has refractive power in the zoom lens to the paraxial image plane, expressed as an air-equivalent length. The "total lens length" is also shown. The total lens length is the distance on the optical axis from the front surface of the zoom lens (the object-side surface of the lens closest to the object) to the final surface of the zoom lens, plus the back focus.
[0032] Furthermore, an "*" next to a surface number indicates that the surface with that surface number is aspherical. The height of a point on the aspherical surface on an axis perpendicular to the optical axis is defined as H, and the direction of light travel on the optical axis is defined as positive. Furthermore, R is the paraxial radius of curvature of the aspherical surface, K is the conic constant, and A2 to A16 are aspherical coefficients. Then, the amount of deviation X from the reference spherical surface of the point at height H on an axis parallel to the optical axis is expressed by the following equation:
[0033]
number
[0034] In the conic constants and aspherical coefficients of each numerical example, e±X is × 10 ±X The focal length in each numerical example is the focal length for the e-line (wavelength 546.07 nm). The values of the above-mentioned conditional expressions (1) to (4) in each numerical example are shown in Table 1.
