JP5885274B2 - Zoom lens unit - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a small zoom lens unit that is used in a 35 mm camera, a video camera, an electronic still camera, and the like, has a large zoom ratio of 10 times or more, an angle of view at a wide angle end of 75 degrees or more, and a small size.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a zoom lens focusing method, a front lens focusing method is known in which a lens group closest to the object is extended to perform focusing. If this front lens focus type zoom lens is an auto focus zoom lens, there is a problem that a large and heavy front lens must be moved in the direction of the optical axis, making it difficult to achieve rapid focusing.

  In order to solve this problem, an inner focus method and a rear focus method in which the second lens unit and subsequent lens units are moved are known. In the inner focus method and the rear focus method, the focus lens group can be generally configured to have a small diameter and light weight, the load on the driving motor of the autofocus mechanism can be reduced, and a quick focus autofocus zoom lens can be realized.

  On the other hand, a zoom lens with a high zoom ratio has a problem that camera shake tends to occur on the telephoto side. In order to avoid the degradation of the captured image due to the camera shake, the image on the photoreceptor is shifted on the photoreceptor by moving a part of the optical system in a direction substantially perpendicular to the optical axis, and the camera shake is caused. Various methods for canceling image blur have been proposed.

  A zoom lens with a high zoom ratio is also strongly required to be small so as not to impair its convenience.

  In particular, some digital single-lens reflex cameras having a live view function in recent years perform a focusing operation by contrast AF, that is, wobbling. For this reason, if the weight of the focus group is large, an actuator for moving the focus group becomes large, and there is a problem that the system becomes large. Therefore, it is strongly desired to reduce the weight of the focus group.

  As a high-magnification zoom lens of the prior art, an image equivalent to 28 mm of a 35 mm film single-lens reflex camera when attached to a lens interchangeable digital single-lens reflex camera using an APS-C size image sensor with a positive and negative positive zoom configuration. A compact, high-performance zoom lens with a high zoom ratio has been proposed that achieves a zoom ratio of about 76 degrees and a zoom ratio of about 7 times, and has a back focus equivalent to that of an interchangeable lens SLR camera (for example, a patent) Reference 1).

  Another conventional high-magnification zoom lens is a photographic lens having a positive / negative / negative / positive / positive / positive / negative / positive / positive zoom structure, focusing in the third group and anti-vibration in the fifth lens group. A high-magnification anti-vibration zoom lens that is capable of inner focusing on short-distance objects, has anti-vibration functions, and has good performance while offering an ultra-high magnification of approximately 12 times. Has been. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2).

  Still another prior art high magnification zoom lens has a positive, negative, positive and negative zoom configuration, that is, in order from the object side, a positive first lens group G1, a negative second lens group G2, and a positive third lens group. It has at least a lens group G3, a negative fourth lens group G4, and a positive fifth lens group G5, and is located between the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2 at the telephoto end with respect to the wide angle end. The air gap increases, the air gap between the second lens group G2 and the third lens group G3 decreases, the air gap between the third lens group G3 and the fourth lens group G4 increases, and the fourth lens group. A zoom lens having a high zoom ratio with a zoom ratio of about 10 has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

  Still another prior art high magnification zoom lens has four lens groups of positive, negative, positive, and positive refractive powers in order from the object side: first, second, third, and fourth groups. , Zooming from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end is performed by increasing the distance between the first group and the second group, and the image plane variation due to zooming is corrected by moving the third group on the optical axis. The second group is moved in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, and a slight rotation is made about one point on the optical axis in or near the second group as a rotation center to correct a blur of a photographed image, and a positive lead type In this zoom lens, a method has been proposed in which the negative second lens group, which is the main zooming group, is used as an anti-vibration lens group and the optical axis is moved in the vertical direction (see, for example, Patent Document 4).

  Still another prior art high magnification zoom lens has a configuration in which the second lens group is divided and the 2a group which is not the focusing group is an anti-vibration lens group, and the amount of movement of the focus lens group during focusing is extremely large A small zoom lens that does not increase has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 5). This high variable magnification zoom lens is composed of a first lens group having a positive refractive power, a second lens group having a negative refractive power, and a plurality of or one lens group in order from the long conjugate side. And a distance between the first lens group and the second lens group is large, and a distance between the second lens group and the subsequent group is small when zooming from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end. The second lens group has a negative refractive power 2a group and a negative refractive power second b group disposed on the conjugate side shorter than the second a group, Focusing is performed by the second group b, and special conditions are set between the focal length at the wide-angle end, the focal length at the telephoto end, and the focal length of the second group a.

  On the other hand, as a conventional high-magnification zoom lens with a small image magnification change at the time of focusing, in order from the object side, a first lens group having a positive power, a second lens group having a negative power, and at least a succeeding at least The second lens unit includes two lens units, and all the lens units move in a direction along the optical axis so that the distance between the lens units changes during zooming. A configuration in which the group moves in a direction along the optical axis has been proposed (see, for example, Example 7 of Patent Document 6). This high zoom ratio zoom lens provides a zoom lens in which the focus group and the image stabilizing group are small while achieving a zoom ratio of 10 times.

JP-A-2005-331697 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-329933 JP-A-10-0133109 JP 05-0232410 A JP 2000-02893 JP 2009-265652 A

  In the high zoom ratio zoom lens disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the focus group is the second group and the second group is composed of five lenses, the weight is heavy and the change in the image magnification is large. There is a problem that it is not preferable for contrast AF.

  In the high-magnification zoom lens disclosed in Patent Document 2, the focus group is composed of two lenses in the third group to reduce the weight of the focus group. That's not enough. Furthermore, although weight reduction is aimed at by making the vibration isolating group 5th, sufficient weight reduction is not implement | achieved. It is also difficult to improve optical performance such as aberration correction.

  In the high-magnification zoom lens disclosed in Patent Document 3, the focus group is composed of three lenses in three groups, but it is 10 g or more and cannot be applied to contrast AF. It is hard to say that it is a compact high-magnification zoom lens.

  In the high-magnification zoom lens disclosed in Patent Document 4, the negative second lens group generates less coma when decentering and is suitable for the anti-vibration group. However, since the second group of the high zoom ratio zoom lens requires four or more lens groups, it is difficult to reduce the size of the vibration isolation mechanism.

  In the high-magnification zoom lens disclosed in Patent Document 5, the lens diameter of the second group a has to be increased in order to obtain the amount of light around the photographing screen on the wide-angle side, and it is difficult to reduce the size of the vibration-proof mechanism. There is a problem.

  In the high-magnification zoom lens (Example 7) disclosed in Patent Document 6, two lenses, which are negative third lens groups, are used as the anti-vibration group, and the weight of the anti-vibration group is reduced. . However, since camera shake correction is performed by the lens group on the object side of the stop, it is difficult to suppress astigmatism fluctuations during camera shake correction, and it is difficult to say that the optical performance during camera shake correction is sufficient. Further, there is a problem that it is difficult to make the lens barrel compact because the filter diameter is large and the positive / negative / negative / positive / negative 6-group zoom configuration is adopted.

(Object of the present invention)
