  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the variable magnification optical system ZL includes, in order from the object side, a first lens group G1 having a positive refractive power, a second lens group G2 having a negative refractive power, and a positive refractive power. And a rear group GR. The second lens group G2 includes at least one positive lens and a negative lens arranged adjacent to the object side of the positive lens having the largest refractive power among these positive lenses. . When zooming from the wide-angle end state to the telephoto end state, the distance between the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2 changes, and the distance between the second lens group G2 and the rear group GR changes. With such a configuration, it is possible to satisfactorily correct the size reduction of the lens barrel and the variation in aberrations during zooming and focusing.

  Now, conditions for constructing such a variable magnification optical system ZL will be described. First, in this variable magnification optical system ZL, the radius of curvature of the object side surface of the negative lens in the second lens group G2 is r1, and the radius of curvature of the image side surface of the negative lens is r2. When the focal length of the entire system is fw and the focal length of the second lens group G2 is f2, it is desirable to satisfy the following conditional expressions (1) and (2).

0.80 <(r2 + r1) / (r2-r1) <3.50 (1)
0.50 <(− f2) / fw <0.90 (2)

  Conditional expression (1) is a conditional expression for defining the shape of the negative lens adjacent to the object side of the positive lens having the largest refractive power in the second lens group G2. The present variable magnification optical system ZL can realize good optical performance by satisfying the conditional expression (1). Exceeding the upper limit of conditional expression (1) is not preferable because the radius of curvature of the object-side lens surface of the negative lens increases and it becomes difficult to correct coma in the wide-angle end state. In order to secure the effect of the present application, it is preferable to set the upper limit of conditional expression (1) to 3.00. On the other hand, if the lower limit value of conditional expression (1) is not reached, the radius of curvature of the object side lens surface of the negative lens becomes small, making it difficult to correct spherical aberration in the telephoto end state, and the distance between the negative lens and the positive lens. This is not preferable because the influence of the manufacturing error increases. In order to secure the effect of the present application, it is preferable to set the lower limit of conditional expression (1) to 0.90.

  Conditional expression (2) is a conditional expression for defining the ratio between the focal length f2 of the second lens group G2 and the focal length fw of the entire system in the wide-angle end state. The present zoom optical system ZL can realize good optical performance and a predetermined zoom ratio by satisfying the conditional expression (2). If the upper limit value of conditional expression (2) is exceeded, the refractive power of the second lens group G2 will be weak, and the refractive power of other lens groups will be strengthened in order to obtain a predetermined zoom ratio. This is not preferable because field curvature deteriorates. In order to secure the effect of the present application, it is preferable to set the upper limit of conditional expression (2) to 0.85. On the other hand, if the lower limit of conditional expression (2) is not reached, the refractive power of the second lens group G2 becomes strong, and it becomes difficult to correct spherical aberration and coma in the telephoto end state, which is not preferable. In order to secure the effect of the present application, it is preferable to set the lower limit of conditional expression (2) to 0.60.

  Further, when the zooming optical system ZL zooms from the wide-angle end state to the telephoto end state, the distance between the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2 increases, and the second lens group G2 and the rear group The distance from the GR is preferably reduced. With this configuration, it is possible to ensure a predetermined zoom ratio while effectively correcting variations between spherical aberration and field curvature.

  In the variable magnification optical system ZL, it is preferable that at least a part of the second lens group G2 is moved on the optical axis when focusing from infinity to a short-distance object point. With such a configuration, it is possible to reduce the size of the lens barrel and to satisfactorily correct aberration fluctuations such as spherical aberration at the time of focusing and curvature of field.

  In the variable magnification optical system ZL, the rear group GR includes, in order from the object side, a third lens group G3 having a positive refractive power, a fourth lens group G4 having a negative refractive power, and a positive refractive power. And a fifth lens group G5. With this configuration, it is possible to ensure a predetermined zoom ratio while effectively correcting variations between spherical aberration and field curvature.

  In the variable magnification optical system ZL, the rear group GR includes, in order from the object side, a third lens group G3 having a positive refractive power and a fourth lens group G4 having a positive refractive power. preferable. With this configuration, it is possible to ensure a predetermined zoom ratio while effectively correcting variations between spherical aberration and field curvature.

  In the variable magnification optical system ZL, the most image side lens surface of the second lens group G2 is preferably aspheric. With this configuration, spherical aberration in the telephoto end state can be corrected well.

  In the zoom optical system ZL, it is preferable that the following conditional expression (3) is satisfied when the focal length of the first lens group G1 is f1 and the focal length of the fourth lens group G4 is f4. .

2.00 <f1 / | f4 | <6.00 (3)

  Conditional expression (3) is a conditional expression for defining the focal length f4 of the fourth lens group G4 with respect to the focal length f1 of the first lens group G1. By satisfying the conditional expression (3), the zooming optical system ZL can secure a predetermined zooming ratio while securing optical performance during image blur correction. If the upper limit value of conditional expression (3) is exceeded, the refractive power of the fourth lens group G4 becomes strong, making it difficult to simultaneously correct fluctuations in field curvature and decentration coma during correction of image blur. Therefore, it is not preferable. In order to secure the effect of the present application, it is preferable to set the upper limit of conditional expression (3) to 5.54. On the other hand, if the lower limit of conditional expression (3) is not reached, the refractive power of the first lens group G1 becomes strong, and it becomes difficult to correct spherical aberration in the telephoto end state. Further, the deterioration of lateral chromatic aberration in the wide-angle end state becomes remarkable, which is not preferable. In order to secure the effect of the present application, it is preferable to set the lower limit of conditional expression (3) to 3.55.

  In the variable magnification optical system ZL, it is preferable that a part of the rear group GR moves so as to have a component substantially perpendicular to the optical axis. With this configuration, it is possible to simultaneously correct fluctuations in curvature of field during image blur correction and fluctuations in eccentric coma.

  In the zoom optical system ZL, it is preferable that at least a part of the fourth lens group G4 moves so as to have a component substantially perpendicular to the optical axis. With this configuration, it is possible to simultaneously correct the fluctuations in the curvature of field during the image blur correction and the fluctuations in the eccentric coma aberration while reducing the size of the lens barrel.

  In the zoom optical system ZL, it is preferable that the most object side lens surface of the second lens group G2 has an aspherical shape. With this configuration, it is possible to satisfactorily correct field curvature and distortion in the wide-angle end state.

  FIG. 13 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a digital single-lens reflex camera 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as a camera) as an optical apparatus including the above-described variable magnification optical system ZL. In this camera 1, light from an object (subject) (not shown) is collected by the taking lens 2 (variable magnification optical system ZL) and imaged on the focusing screen 4 via the quick return mirror 3. The light imaged on the focusing screen 4 is reflected a plurality of times in the pentaprism 5 and guided to the eyepiece lens 6. Thus, the photographer can observe the object (subject) image as an erect image through the eyepiece 6.

  Further, when a release button (not shown) is pressed by the photographer, the quick return mirror 3 is retracted out of the optical path, and light of an object (subject) (not shown) condensed by the photographing lens 2 is captured on the image sensor 7.

In this way, the photographer can shoot an object (subject) with the camera 1. The camera 1 shown in FIG. 13 may hold the variable magnification optical system ZL in a detachable manner, or may be formed integrally with the variable magnification optical system ZL.

It is preferable that the lens surface is a spherical surface or a flat surface because lens processing and assembly adjustment are facilitated, and deterioration of optical performance due to errors in processing and assembly adjustment is prevented. Further, even when the image plane is deviated, it is preferable because there is little deterioration in drawing performance. When the lens surface is an aspheric surface, the aspheric surface is an aspheric surface by grinding, a glass mold aspheric surface made of glass with an aspheric shape, or a composite aspheric surface made of resin with an aspheric shape on the glass surface. Any aspherical surface may be used. The lens surface may be a diffractive surface, and the lens may be a gradient index lens (GRIN lens) or a plastic lens.

  The aperture stop S is preferably arranged in the vicinity of the third lens group G3 or in the third lens group G3. However, the role of the aperture stop may be substituted by a lens frame without providing a member as an aperture stop. .

  Further, each lens surface may be provided with an antireflection film having a high transmittance in a wide wavelength region in order to reduce flare and ghost and achieve high optical performance with high contrast.
