Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An optical system comprises a first lens group G1 disposed in a most object side and having positive refractive power, a stop member ST disposed at an image side of the first lens group G1, and a second lens group G2 disposed at an image side of the stop member ST. A predetermined conditional expression is satisfied, whereby light beyond the maximum angle of view collected on the focal point position of a most object side lens group having positive refractive power is reduced, so that heat generated by a member in the vicinity of the focal point position is reduced.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An optical system comprising: a first lens group disposed most toward an object side in the optical system and having positive refractive power, a second lens group disposed at an image side of the first lens group, an aperture stop, a stop member provided in addition to the aperture stop and disposed next to the first lens group between the first lens group and the second lens group, and one or more lens groups disposed on the image side of the second lens group, wherein the optical system is adapted to vary magnification, upon varying magnification from a wide angle end state to a telephoto end state, a distance between the second lens group and the stop member varies, and the following conditional expressions are satisfied: 0.20 <ds/f 1<0.60 1.00×φ2<φs<0.8×φ1  (unit: mm) where ds denotes a distance in a telephoto end state along an optical axis between a lens surface of a most image side lens in the first lens group and the stop member, f1 denotes a focal length of the first lens group, φ1 denotes an outer diameter of a most image side lens in the first lens group, φ2 denotes an outer diameter of a most object side lens in the second lens group, and φs denotes a diameter of an aperture of the stop member. 2. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein an aperture diameter of the stop member is larger than an effective diameter of the optical system in a position of the stop member along an optical axis. 3. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein upon varying magnification from a wide angle end state to a telephoto end state, a distance between the first lens group and the second lens group varies. 4. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein upon varying magnification from a wide angle end state to a telephoto end state, a distance between the first lens group and the stop member varies. 5. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the optical system further comprises a moving mechanism for moving the stop member along the optical axis, upon varying magnification from a wide angle end state to a telephoto end state. 6. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the stop member has an anti-reflection member on a surface. 7. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein a position of an optical axis side end of the stop member in a direction of an optical axis is at a more image side than a position of a barrel side end of the stop member in the direction of the optical axis. 8. An optical apparatus equipped with the optical system according to claim 1 . 9. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein an aperture diameter of the stop member is fixed. 10. A method for manufacturing an optical system comprising a first lens group disposed most toward an object side in the optical system and having positive refractive power, a second lens group disposed at an image side of the first lens group, an aperture stop, a stop member provided in addition to the aperture stop and disposed next to the first lens group between the first lens group and the second lens group, and one or more lens groups disposed on the image side of the second lens group, the method comprising: arranging the lens groups and the stops such that the optical system is adapted to vary magnification, and such that, upon varying magnification from a wide angle end state to a telephoto end state, a distance between the second lens group and the stop member varies, and satisfying the following conditional expressions: 0.20 <ds/f 1<0.60 1.00×φ2<φ s< 0.8×φ1(unit: mm) where ds denotes a distance in a telephoto end state along an optical axis between a lens surface of a most image side lens in the first lens group and the stop member, f1 denotes a focal length of the first lens group, φ1 denotes an outer diameter of a most image side lens in the first lens group, φ2 denotes an outer diameter of a most object side lens in the second lens group, and φs denotes a diameter of an aperture of the stop member.
