Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A zoom lens system capable of satisfactorily compensating for aberration, including, in an order from an object to an image, a first lens group having a negative refractive power, an aperture, and a second lens group having a positive refractive power, wherein the first lens group including a first lens, a second lens, a third lens and a fourth lens in the order from the object to the image, and wherein an Abbe number of the first lens is less than 30, an Abbe number of the second lens is greater than 45 and less than 65, and a ratio of an Abbe number of the third lens to an Abbe number of the fourth lens is greater than 3.8 and less than 4.3.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A zoom lens system, in an order from an object to an image, comprising: a first lens group having a negative refractive power; an aperture; and a second lens group having a positive refractive power, wherein the first lens group comprises a first lens, a second lens, a third lens and a fourth lens in the order from the object to the image, wherein an Abbe number of the first lens is less than 30, wherein an Abbe number of the second lens is greater than 45 and less than 65, and wherein a ratio of an Abbe number of the third lens to an Abbe number of the fourth lens is greater than 3.8 and less than 4.3. 2 . The zoom lens system of claim 1 , wherein the zoom lens system is configured to perform zooming by moving the second lens group in an optical axis direction. 3 . The zoom lens system of claim 1 , wherein the zoom lens system is configured to perform focusing by moving the first lens group in an optical axis direction. 4 . The zoom lens system of claim 1 , wherein each of the first, second and third lenses has a negative refractive power, the fourth lens has a positive refractive power, and the third and fourth lenses are cemented to each other. 5 . The zoom lens system of claim 1 , wherein the second lens group comprises a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, an eighth lens, a ninth lens and a tenth lens in the order from the object to the image, and wherein an Abbe number of the fifth lens is greater than 63, and an Abbe number of the tenth lens is less than 25. 6 . The zoom lens system of claim 5 , wherein each of the fifth lens, the sixth lens, the eighth lens, and the tenth lens has a positive refractive power, and each of the seventh lens and the ninth lens has a negative refractive power. 7 . The zoom lens system of claim 6 , wherein the fifth lens comprises at least one aspheric surface. 8 . The zoom lens system of claim 7 , wherein the fifth lens comprises two aspheric surfaces. 9 . The zoom lens system of claim 6 , wherein the tenth lens comprises at least one aspheric surface. 10 . The zoom lens system of claim 9 , wherein the tenth lens comprises two aspheric surfaces. 11 . The zoom lens system of claim 6 , wherein the tenth lens has a meniscus shape. 12 . An image capturing system comprising: an image pickup device configured to capture an image; and the zoom lens system of claim 1 .
