Description

  The present invention relates to a zoom lens having a constant overall length during zooming and focusing. In particular, the present invention relates to a compact, wide-angle, high-magnification zoom lens that is suitable for an interchangeable lens system and enables moving image shooting. Furthermore, the present invention relates to an image pickup apparatus including a zoom lens having a constant overall length during zooming and focusing.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, products that can shoot moving images are known for digital cameras. In recent years, an interchangeable lens corresponding to a moving image shooting function of a camera body has been studied even in an interchangeable lens digital camera.

  With conventional cameras for still image shooting, the objective was to cut off an instant shooting opportunity, so it is only necessary to focus on the target subject at the moment of shooting after deciding on the composition, and there is a need for a function for that purpose. It was done. Specifically, a so-called phase difference type autofocus (AF) function is employed, and the AF method has both speed and accuracy.

  However, in video shooting, some professional video cameras are focused by a skilled cameraman with manual focus (MF). However, many consumer video cameras always use an AF system according to the subject distance. It is necessary to keep in focus. As a method for this, a contrast AF method (so-called hill-climbing method) using an image sensor is employed.

  Furthermore, in order to maintain the in-focus state, the change in contrast is measured by constantly moving the focus lens back and forth in the optical axis direction of the in-focus position (referred to as wobbling). If it is determined that the focus lens has been moved, the focus lens is appropriately moved to operate the focus again. Since this wobbling function requires a very high-speed operation in accordance with the frame rate, the lens used for wobbling is required to be lightweight.

  The focus lens is always moved, but the moving range is within the depth of focus. Therefore, it is controlled so that the blurring during wobbling cannot be recognized. At this time, if the change in the image magnification (change in the size of the subject on the imaging surface) is large, the image always appears to fluctuate, which is very unnatural. Accordingly, it is an important requirement to keep the magnification change during wobbling small.

  Among products capable of moving image shooting, products having a recording function are also known. When zooming is performed, recording is hindered if the sound generated from the interchangeable lens itself is loud. Therefore, in a zoom lens that supports the moving image shooting function, it is required to reduce the number of groups (lens group and aperture stop) that move during the zooming operation in order to sufficiently reduce the sound generated during the zooming operation. .

  In addition, an interchangeable lens used for both still image shooting and moving image shooting is required to have a wide angle and a high zoom ratio as the shooting application expands.

  Conventionally, positive, negative, positive, negative, and positive five-group zoom lenses are known as zoom lenses suitable for wide-angle and high zoom ratios.

  Patent Documents 1 to 6 propose design examples of a zoom lens of a positive, negative, positive, negative, and positive group suitable for wide angle and high zoom ratio. In Patent Document 1, the first to fifth lens groups are moved during zooming from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end.

  In Patent Documents 2 to 6, the first lens unit and the fifth lens unit are fixed at the time of zooming from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end. In Patent Documents 2, 3, 4, and 6, the aperture stop is also fixed. Further, in Patent Documents 2, 3, 5, and 6, the focusing is performed by moving the fourth lens group and the like, and is suitable for downsizing.

JP 2010-32702 A JP-A-8-5913 JP 2002-228931 A JP 2006-276808 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2007-3598 JP 2009-128620 A

  However, since the zoom lens disclosed in Patent Document 1 moves all the lens groups during the zooming operation, it is not a desirable configuration in terms of reducing the sound generated from the interchangeable lens itself. In particular, since the first lens group having the largest lens diameter is moved, noise during moving image shooting is easily noticeable.

  The zoom lenses disclosed in Patent Documents 2 to 6 have a desirable configuration in that the sound generated from the interchangeable lens itself is reduced because the first lens group is fixed during zooming operation.

  However, the zoom lenses disclosed in Patent Documents 2 and 3 are assumed to have a small image sensor such as a home video camera. Therefore, if these zoom lenses are multiplied by a factor and applied to a large-size image pickup device of about 4/3 inch as in each embodiment of the present invention, the size of the zoom lens becomes undesirably large.

  The zoom lens disclosed in Patent Document 4 has a zoom ratio as small as about 2.8, and there is no description of a focus lens group.

  The zoom lens disclosed in Patent Document 5 also has a small zoom ratio of about 2.8, and the aperture stop moves during zooming.

  Further, the zoom lens disclosed in Patent Document 6 is not sufficient in terms of miniaturization.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a zoom lens in which an image during focusing during moving image shooting and an image during a wobbling operation are easy to see. It is another object of the present invention to provide a zoom lens suitable for noise reduction during zooming during moving image shooting. It is another object of the present invention to provide a small wide-angle and high-magnification interchangeable lens that is used for both still image shooting and moving image shooting. Furthermore, it aims at providing the imaging device provided with such a zoom lens.

  In order to solve the above problems, a zoom lens according to the present invention is as follows.

The first zoom lens according to the present invention is a zoom lens disposed on the imaging surface side of the image sensor, and in order from the object side to the image side, the first lens group having a positive refractive power and the first lens unit having a negative refractive power. A second lens group, an aperture stop, a third lens group with positive refractive power, a fourth lens group with negative refractive power, and a fifth lens group with positive refractive power, from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end. At the time of zooming, at least the positions of the first lens group and the aperture stop are fixed, the second lens group and the third lens group move in the direction of the optical axis, and between the lens groups and the aperture stop. Each interval changes, and the fourth lens unit moves in the optical axis direction during focusing from the infinitely focused state to the close-in-focus state and satisfies the following conditional expression (1). And
−0.36 <f4 / f1 <−0.05 (1)
However,
f1 is the focal length of the first lens group,
f4 is a focal length of the fourth lens group,
It is.

  Hereinafter, the reason and operation of the zoom lens according to the present invention will be described.

  Employing a positive leading type zoom lens in which a lens unit having a positive refractive power is disposed closest to the object side is advantageous in securing a zoom ratio, and is a preferable lens arrangement as a wide-angle / high zoom lens. The main variable magnification is caused by the change in the distance between the first lens group and the second lens group and the change in the distance between the second lens group and the third lens group. It can be performed. In addition, by arranging the fourth lens group having negative refracting power and the fifth lens group having positive refracting power, the position of the exit pupil can be set appropriately, and the size of the first lens group to the fourth lens group can be reduced. . Therefore, it is advantageous to construct a small and inexpensive zoom lens.

  In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, it is necessary to realize a zoom system suitable for noise reduction during zooming, and it is required to reduce the number of moving groups during zooming and to reduce weight. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first lens group and the aperture stop are fixed, the second lens group and the third lens group are moved, and the distance between each lens group and the aperture stop is changed to change the zoom ratio. And image position adjustment are performed.

  The fourth lens unit having a negative refractive power is advantageous in reducing the weight and securing the focus sensitivity (enabling focusing with a small amount of movement). In addition, when the fourth lens group is extended, the incident height of the principal ray off-axis in the fourth lens group becomes low and the angle of the principal ray toward the fifth lens group with respect to the optical axis becomes small. Since the distance between the fourth lens group and the fifth lens group is increased, the change in the incident height of the principal ray off-axis on the imaging surface can be reduced, and the change in magnification can be reduced. Therefore, by making the fourth lens group a focusing lens group, it is easy to suppress a change in magnification due to movement, and a change in magnification in a focusing (and further wobbling) operation can be suppressed.

  Conditional expression (1) relates to preferable refractive powers of the first lens group and the fourth lens group.

  By securing the refractive power of the fourth lens group so as not to fall below the lower limit value of conditional expression (1), the amount of movement of the fourth lens group during focusing (and further wobbling) can be reduced. Accordingly, the movable space can be reduced, which is advantageous for downsizing the entire zoom lens. Further, by suppressing the refractive power of the first lens group so as not to fall below the lower limit value, it is possible to suppress aberrations that occur in the first lens group and to reduce the number of constituent lenses.

  By suppressing the refractive power of the fourth lens group so as not to exceed the upper limit value of the conditional expression (1), it is possible to suppress aberration fluctuations accompanying focusing while reducing the number of constituent lenses of the fourth lens group. In addition, by ensuring the refractive power of the first lens group so as not to exceed the upper limit, the overall length of the zoom lens can be shortened, which is advantageous for downsizing.

  In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, it is more preferable that at least one of the following constituent requirements, and more than one, are simultaneously satisfied.

  At the time of zooming from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, at least the positions of the first lens group, the aperture stop, and the fifth lens group are fixed, and the second lens group, the third lens group, and the fourth are It is preferable to move in the optical axis direction.

  By using the first lens group and the fifth lens group as the fixed lens group, it becomes easy to reduce noise noise caused by the movement of the second, third, and fourth lens groups. In addition, it is preferable that the number of driving lens groups be suppressed by moving the fourth lens group both during focusing and during zooming.

It is preferable that the following conditional expressions (2) and (3) are satisfied in the in-focus state at the wide angle end.
| Y1′−y1 | / Δs <0.35 (2)
| Y0.7′−y0.7 | / Δs <0.35 (3)
However,
y1 is the maximum image height on the imaging surface,
y0.7 is 0,7 times the maximum image height y1,
y1 ′ is a field angle of view that reaches the image height of y1 when focused at infinity when the fourth lens group is moved with respect to an object at infinity and a defocus amount of Δs is generated from when focused at infinity. Ray height at the position where the chief ray of the same angle of view intersects the imaging surface,
y0.7 ′ is the image height of y0.7 when focusing on infinity when the fourth lens unit is moved with respect to an object at infinity and a defocus amount of Δs is generated from focusing on infinity. The ray height at the position where the principal ray of the same angle of view as the shooting angle of view intersects the imaging surface,
Δs is 8 * maximum image height y1 / 1000,
And
The unit of y1, y0.7, y1 ', y0.7' and Δs are all mm.
It is.

  In the zoom lens according to the present embodiment, it is necessary to realize a focus method in consideration of high-speed driving of the focus lens group (further, wobbling in moving image shooting), and weight reduction of the focus lens group is required. Therefore, in the present embodiment, focusing (and wobbling) is performed by the fourth lens group.

  With such a configuration, the zoom lens of the present embodiment has a smaller change in image magnification during focusing (and wobbling during moving image shooting) than the conventional zoom lens. Although the amount of change in image magnification varies depending on the height of the image, a specific image height alone is not sufficient, and the amount of change must be reduced over the entire screen.

  Conditional expression (2) and conditional expression (3) are conditional expressions for that purpose, and define the condition of the image magnification change amount with respect to the defocus amount. Here, although it varies depending on the value of the defocus amount Δs, here, the calculation is performed with the defocus amount corresponding to the allowable depth. In general, the permissible depth can be expressed by F number * permissible circle of confusion, but in this embodiment, F number = 8 and permissible circle of confusion = maximum image height (y1) / 1000.

  In order not only to satisfy one of the conditional expression (2) and the conditional expression (3) but also to reduce the amount of change in the entire screen as in the present invention, the conditional expressions (2) and (3) Both formulas must be satisfied. Further, it has been found that by satisfying both the conditional expressions (2) and (3), the change in image magnification can be kept small even in other image heights and focal length states. Exceeding the upper limit values of conditional expression (2) and conditional expression (3) is not preferable because the amount of change in image magnification increases.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram for explaining the definition of conditional expressions for the zoom lens according to the present embodiment. For convenience of explanation, the lens shape and the number of lenses in the first to fifth lens groups are described in a simplified manner, and the movement amount and optical path of the fourth lens group assuming wobbling are exaggerated.

  The zoom lens according to this embodiment includes, in order from the object side to the image side (imaging surface), a first lens group having a positive refractive power, a second lens group having a negative refractive power, a third lens group having a positive refractive power, and a negative lens group. A fourth lens group having a refractive power and a fifth lens group having a positive refractive power can be used.

  In the figure, a light ray A indicates a principal light ray that is incident on the position of the maximum image height (y1) on the imaging surface when focusing on infinity. A light beam B indicates a principal light beam that is incident at a position 0.7 times (y0.7) the maximum image height (y1) of the imaging surface when focusing on infinity.

  The zoom lens according to the present embodiment is characterized in that focusing or wobbling is performed by moving the fourth lens group. In the figure, the light ray A ′ shows the displacement state of the principal ray A when the fourth lens group is moved by focusing or wobbling and formed at a position separated from the imaging surface by a defocus amount ΔS. Has been.

  The light ray B ′ shows the displacement state of the principal light ray B when the fourth lens group is moved by focusing or wobbling so as to form an image at a position separated by the defocus amount ΔS from the imaging surface. ing. The defocus amount ΔS is 8 * maximum image height (y1) / 1000 as described above.

  The image height at which the light ray A 'forms on the imaging surface is defined as y1', and the image height at which the light beam B 'forms at the imaging surface is defined as y0.7'.

  The fourth lens unit having a negative refractive power is advantageous in reducing the weight and securing the focus sensitivity. In addition, when the fourth lens unit is extended, the height between the fourth and fifth lens units becomes large, but the incident height of the principal ray off-axis in the fourth lens unit becomes low, and the magnification change on the imaging surface Therefore, it is easy to suppress a change in magnification due to the movement of the fourth lens group, and a change in magnification in a focusing (or wobbling) operation can be suppressed. This is particularly advantageous when shooting moving images. Also, when focusing from a long distance to a short distance is performed by moving the fourth lens group to the image side, a change in magnification on the imaging surface can be suppressed.

The maximum image height y1 on the imaging surface preferably satisfies the following conditional expression (A).
8.0 <y1 <25.0 (A)

  By ensuring the imaging area so as not to fall below the lower limit value of conditional expression (A), it becomes easy to prevent signal noise during high-sensitivity imaging. In addition, the amount of movement of the focusing (or wobbling) operation can be increased, and control becomes easy. In addition, it is easy to suppress an increase in the size of the zoom lens by preventing an increase in the imaging area so as not to exceed the upper limit value of the conditional expression (A). In addition, the lens that performs the focusing (and further wobbling) operation becomes smaller, and it becomes easier to suppress the power consumption during the operation.

  As described above, the fourth lens group may be a lens group that moves not only in focusing but also in the optical axis direction before focusing.

  The fourth lens group is not only focused but also a lens group that moves by wobbling in the optical axis direction before focusing, so that the in-focus state can be maintained, which is particularly advantageous when shooting moving images.

  The fourth lens group preferably has one positive lens and one negative lens, and the total number of lenses in the fourth lens group is preferably two.

  By canceling out aberrations between the positive lens and the negative lens while reducing the weight of the fourth lens group, it is advantageous in reducing various aberrations in the fourth lens group.

It is preferable that the following conditional expression (4) is satisfied.
0.20 <Σ1G / Σ2G <1.00 (4)
However,
Σ1G is the thickness of the first lens group on the optical axis,
Σ2G is the thickness of the second lens group on the optical axis,
It is.

  Conditional expression (4) relates to a preferable thickness on the optical axis of the first lens group and the second lens group. Setting the thickness of the first lens group on the optical axis appropriately so as not to fall below the lower limit of conditional expression (4) is advantageous for correcting the aberration of the first lens group. By appropriately setting the thickness of the first lens group on the optical axis so as not to exceed the upper limit value of conditional expression (4), it is possible to prevent the first lens group from becoming large.

It is preferable that the following conditional expression (5) is satisfied.
0.03 <Σ1G / f1 <0.23 (5)
However,
Σ1G is the thickness of the first lens group on the optical axis,
f1 is the focal length of the first lens group,
It is.

  Conditional expression (5) relates to the preferred thickness and refractive power of the first lens group on the optical axis.

  By securing the refractive power of the first lens unit so as not to fall below the lower limit value of conditional expression (5), the overall length of the zoom lens can be shortened, which is advantageous for downsizing.

  By appropriately setting the thickness of the first lens group on the optical axis so as not to exceed the upper limit value of conditional expression (5), it is possible to prevent the first lens group from becoming large. Further, by suppressing the refractive power of the first lens group so as not to exceed the upper limit value, it is possible to suppress aberrations that occur in the first lens group and to reduce the number of constituent lenses.

It is preferable that the following conditional expression (6) is satisfied.
Σ1G5G / y1 <15.9 (6)
However,
Σ1G5G is the thickness on the optical axis from the object side surface of the first lens group to the image side surface of the fifth lens group at the wide-angle end,
y1 is the maximum image height on the imaging surface,
It is.

  Conditional expression (6) relates to a preferable thickness of the first to fifth lens groups on the optical axis. By appropriately setting the thickness on the optical axis of the first lens group to the fifth lens group so as not to exceed the upper limit value of conditional expression (6), it is possible to prevent the zoom lens from becoming large.

It is preferable that the following conditional expression (7) is satisfied.
0.50 <d2G / fw <5.00 (7)
However,
d2G is the amount of movement of the second lens group at the time of zooming from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, and the movement toward the image side is a positive sign.
fw is the focal length of the entire zoom lens system at the wide-angle end,
It is.

  Conditional expression (7) relates to the amount of movement of the second lens group upon zooming from the preferred wide-angle end to the telephoto end.

  By appropriately setting the amount of movement during zooming of the second lens group so that it does not fall below the lower limit of conditional expression (7), the zoom ratio and the first burden that are mainly borne by the movement of the second lens group are set. The zoom ratio burdened by the movement of the three lens groups can be appropriately distributed, the increase in the amount of movement of the third lens group can be prevented, and this is advantageous in reducing the overall length of the zoom lens.

  By appropriately setting the movement amount at the time of zooming of the second lens group so as not to exceed the upper limit value of the conditional expression (7), an increase in the movement amount of the second lens group can be prevented, and the zoom lens This is advantageous for downsizing the overall length.

  In addition, the second lens group includes four lenses of a first negative lens, a second negative lens, a first positive lens, and a second positive lens in order from the object side to the image side. Alternatively, the first negative lens, the second negative lens, the first positive lens, and the third negative lens are preferably included.

  Constituting with four lenses in this way is advantageous for reducing aberrations occurring in the second lens group, and is advantageous in securing a zoom ratio and the like because the principal point can be made more than that of the first lens group.

  The third lens group includes four lenses, a first positive lens, a second positive lens, a first negative lens, and a third positive lens in order from the object side to the image side. Alternatively, the third lens group includes five lenses including a first positive lens, a second positive lens, a first negative lens, a second negative lens, and a third positive lens. It is preferable that at least two of the lenses are cemented with each other.

  In this way, by using four lenses or five lenses, the refractive power arrangement of the lenses in the third lens group can be made symmetric while the principal point is on the object side, and aberrations occurring in the third lens group. It is advantageous for reduction of

  Further, including a cemented lens is advantageous in reducing chromatic aberration.

  Further, it is preferable that the fifth lens group is composed of one positive lens or two lenses of one positive lens and one negative lens.

  Using a single fifth lens group is advantageous in reducing the size of the fifth lens group. Alternatively, by forming two fifth lens groups, aberrations are canceled between the positive lens and the negative lens, which is advantageous in reducing various aberrations in the fifth lens group.

  Further, at the telephoto end with respect to the wide-angle end, the second lens group is located on the image side, the third lens group is located on the object side, the fourth lens group is located on the object side, It is preferable that an interval between the fourth lens group is widened and an interval between the fourth lens group and the fifth lens group is widened.

  Although the zoom function can be secured by the second and third lens groups and the image plane position can be adjusted by the fourth lens group, the movement of the fourth lens group during focusing can be performed by using the above-described moving method. The range can be secured at the telephoto end, which is advantageous for focusing to a short distance.

Moreover, it is preferable that the following conditional expressions (8) and (9) are satisfied.
4.6 <ft / fw <12.5 (8)
35 ° <ωw <50 ° (9)
However,
fw is the focal length of the entire zoom lens system when focusing at infinity at the wide angle end
ft is the focal length of the entire zoom lens at the telephoto end at infinity,
ωw is the maximum half angle of view when focusing at infinity at the wide angle end.

  Conditional expression (8) and conditional expression (9) specify preferred specifications when using the zoom lens of the present embodiment.

  Conditional expression (8) specifies a preferable zoom ratio. Ensuring a zoom ratio so as not to fall below the lower limit is preferable because it can be used for various shooting scenes. By not exceeding the upper limit, it is advantageous for reducing aberration fluctuations and ensuring the brightness at the telephoto end.

  Conditional expression (9) specifies a preferred half angle of view at the wide-angle end. It is preferable to secure the angle of view so as not to fall below the lower limit. By appropriately suppressing the angle of view so as not to exceed the upper limit, it is advantageous for reducing off-axis aberrations.

  The imaging apparatus according to the present embodiment preferably includes any of the zoom lenses described above and an imaging element having an imaging surface that converts an optical image into an electrical signal.

  Each of the above-described configurations is a configuration at the time of focusing on infinity unless otherwise indicated in the definition. It is more preferable that a plurality of the above configurations are satisfied at the same time.

  In each conditional expression, it is more preferable to set the upper limit value or the lower limit value as follows. By adopting such an upper limit value or lower limit value, the above-described effects can be further enhanced.

For conditional expression (1), it is more preferable to set the lower limit to −0.33.
More preferably, the upper limit value is -0.10.
