Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disposing from an object side in the order of a positive first lens group which is fixed at the time of zooming, a negative second lens group which is moved at the time of zooming, an aperture stop, a positive third lens group which is fixed at the time of zooming, and a fourth lens group which is moved along the optical axis at the time of zooming to correct a change in image plane position arising from the zooming for focusing. The zoom lens is configured to simultaneously satisfy, when a focal length of the overall lens system at the telephoto end, an overall optical length, and an Abbe number of the second group first lens with respect to d-line are taken as ft, TL, and νd 21 respectively, conditional expressions (1): 0.62<TL/ft<0.88 and (2): 30<νd 21 <48.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A zoom lens, consisting of a first lens group which has a positive power and is fixed at the time of zooming, a second lens group which has a negative power and is moved along an optical axis at the time of zooming, an aperture stop, a third lens group which has a positive power and is fixed at the time of zooming, and a fourth lens group which is moved along the optical axis at the time of zooming to correct a change in image plane position arising from the…
