  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the variable magnification optical system ZL according to this embodiment includes, in order from the object side, a first lens group G1 having a negative refractive power, a second lens group G2 having a positive refractive power, A third lens group G3 having a negative refractive power and a fourth lens group G4 having a positive refractive power are configured. In addition, 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 changes, and the second lens group G2 and the third lens group G3 change. The distance between the lens group G3 changes and the distance between the third lens group G3 and the fourth lens group G4 changes. In the variable magnification optical system ZL, at least one single lens (for example, the positive meniscus lens L21 in FIG. 1) of the second lens group G2 moves so as to include a component in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis. This is an anti-vibration lens group VL. When the zoom optical system ZL according to the present embodiment is configured in this manner, the coma aberration at the telephoto end and the field curvature aberration at the wide angle end at the time of zooming are effectively corrected, and the direction substantially orthogonal to the optical axis. A predetermined image plane movement amount can be ensured.

  Now, conditions for constructing such a variable magnification optical system ZL will be described. First, it is desirable that the variable magnification optical system ZL satisfies the following conditional expression (1).

0.35 <D3w / (− f3) <0.45 (1)
However,
D3w: Air distance between the third lens group G3 and the fourth lens group G4 in the wide-angle end state f3: Focal length of the third lens group G3

  Conditional expression (1) is a conditional expression for defining the air gap between the third lens group G3 and the fourth lens group G4 with respect to the focal length of the third lens group G3. If the upper limit of conditional expression (1) is exceeded, the air gap D3w between the third lens group G3 and the fourth lens group G4 in the wide-angle end state becomes wide, and the focal length f3 of the third lens group G3 becomes short. This is not preferable because it is difficult to correct spherical aberration 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 0.42. On the other hand, if the lower limit value of conditional expression (1) is not reached, the air gap D3w between the third lens group G3 and the fourth lens group G4 in the wide-angle end state becomes narrower, and the focal length f3 of the third lens group G3 becomes smaller. This is not preferable because it becomes long and it becomes difficult to correct curvature of field aberration in the wide-angle end state. In order to secure the effect of the present application, it is preferable to set the lower limit of conditional expression (1) to 0.38.

  Further, in the variable magnification optical system ZL, the first lens group G1 has a first negative lens (for example, an aspherical negative lens L11 in FIG. 1) closest to the object side, and a positive lens (for example, closest to the image side). It is desirable to have the positive meniscus lens L13) in FIG. 1 and satisfy the following conditional expression (2).

2.10 <f1gr / (− f1gf) <3.00 (2)
However,
f1gf: focal length of the first negative lens f1gr: focal length of the positive lens

  Conditional expression (2) appropriately sets the focal length f1gf of the first negative lens arranged closest to the object side and the focal length f1gr of the positive lens arranged closest to the image side with respect to the focal length of the first lens group G1. Is stipulated. Exceeding the upper limit value of conditional expression (2) is preferable because the focal length f1gf of the first negative lens becomes short and the focal length f1gr of the positive lens becomes long, making it difficult to correct coma in the wide-angle end state. Absent. In order to secure the effect of the present application, it is preferable to set the upper limit of conditional expression (2) to 2.44. On the other hand, if the lower limit of conditional expression (2) is not reached, the focal length f1gf of the first negative lens becomes longer and the focal length f1gr of the positive lens becomes shorter, making it difficult to correct spherical aberration in the telephoto end state. Therefore, it 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 2.14.

  Here, by providing at least one negative lens (for example, the biconcave lens L12 in FIG. 1) between the first negative lens and the positive lens, an image near the wide-angle end is obtained without increasing the diameter of the front lens. Surface curvature can be corrected satisfactorily. Furthermore, this effect can be exhibited more by configuring the first lens group G1 with three lenses including a first negative lens, a second negative lens, and a positive lens.

  In addition, it is desirable that the variable magnification optical system ZL satisfies the following conditional expression (3).

0.81 <f2 / (− f3) <1.00 (3)
However,
f2: Focal length of the second lens group G2 f3: Focal length of the third lens group G3

  Conditional expression (3) defines an appropriate focal length of the third lens group G3 with respect to the focal length of the second lens group G2. If the upper limit of conditional expression (3) is exceeded, the focal length of the third lens group G3 becomes short and the focal length of the second lens group G2 becomes long, so that it is difficult to correct field curvature aberration in the telephoto end state. This 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 0.84. On the other hand, if the lower limit value of conditional expression (3) is not reached, the focal length of the third lens group G3 becomes longer and the focal length of the second lens group G2 becomes shorter, making it difficult to correct spherical aberration in the wide-angle end state. This 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 0.82.

  The variable magnification optical system ZL preferably has an aperture stop S in the vicinity of the third lens group G3. According to such a configuration, the open aperture diameter from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end is made constant, and the mechanical configuration is simplified, thereby preventing the optical performance from being deteriorated due to an assembly error.

  In addition, it is desirable that the variable magnification optical system ZL satisfies the following conditional expression (4).

0.60 <f2 / f4 <0.70 (4)
However,
f2: Focal length of the second lens group G2 f4: Focal length of the fourth lens group G4

  Conditional expression (4) defines an appropriate focal length of the fourth lens group G4 with respect to the focal length of the second lens group G2. If the upper limit value of the conditional expression (4) is exceeded, the focal length of the fourth lens group G4 becomes short, and the focal length of the second lens group G2 becomes long, so that it becomes difficult to correct spherical aberration in the wide-angle end state. 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 (4) to 0.68. On the other hand, if the lower limit value of conditional expression (4) is not reached, the focal length of the fourth lens group G4 becomes longer and the focal length of the second lens group G2 becomes shorter, so that the field curvature aberration in the telephoto end state is corrected. Is not preferable because it becomes difficult. In order to secure the effect of the present application, it is preferable to set the lower limit of conditional expression (4) to 0.65.

  In the variable magnification optical system ZL, the most object side lens in the first lens group G1 has an aspherical surface (for example, the image side surface (third surface) of the aspherical negative lens L11 in FIG. 1). It is desirable. Thereby, the field curvature aberration in the wide-angle end state and the spherical aberration in the telephoto end state can be effectively corrected.

  In the zoom optical system ZL, it is desirable that the third lens group G3 is composed of a cemented lens in which a positive lens and a negative lens are bonded together. Thereby, the chromatic coma aberration in the wide-angle end state can be effectively corrected.

  Further, in the zoom optical system ZL, when zooming from the wide-angle end state to the telephoto end state, the distance between the second lens group G2 and the third lens group G3 increases, and the third lens group G3 and the fourth lens group G4 It is desirable that the distance from the lens group G4 is reduced. As a result, it is possible to ensure a predetermined zoom ratio while effectively correcting variations in spherical aberration and field curvature.

  In the variable magnification optical system ZL, it is desirable that all of the second lens group G2, the third lens group G3, and the fourth lens group G4 are spherical lenses. Thereby, lens processing and assembly adjustment are facilitated, and deterioration of optical performance due to errors in processing and assembly adjustment can be prevented.

  Next, a camera that is an optical device including the variable magnification optical system ZL according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. This camera 1 is a so-called mirrorless camera of interchangeable lens provided with a variable magnification optical system ZL according to the present embodiment as a photographing lens 2. In the camera 1, light from an object (subject) (not shown) is collected by the photographing lens 2 and is on the imaging surface of the imaging unit 3 via an OLPF (Optical low pass filter) (not shown). A subject image is formed on the screen. Then, the subject image is photoelectrically converted by the photoelectric conversion element provided in the imaging unit 3 to generate an image of the subject. This image is displayed on an EVF (Electronic view finder) 4 provided in the camera 1. Thus, the photographer can observe the subject via the EVF 4.

  Further, when a release button (not shown) is pressed by the photographer, an image photoelectrically converted by the imaging unit 3 is stored in a memory (not shown). In this way, the photographer can shoot the subject with the camera 1. In the present embodiment, an example of a mirrorless camera has been described. However, a variable power optical system ZL according to the present embodiment is applied to a single-lens reflex camera that has a quick return mirror in the camera body and observes a subject with a finder optical system. Even when the camera is mounted, the same effect as the camera 1 can be obtained.

  The contents described below can be appropriately adopted as long as the optical performance is not impaired.

  In the present embodiment, the variable magnification optical system ZL having the four-group configuration is shown, but the above-described configuration conditions and the like can be applied to other group configurations such as the fifth group and the sixth group. Further, a configuration in which a lens or a lens group is added to the most object side, or a configuration in which a lens or a lens group is added to the most image side may be used. The lens group refers to a portion having at least one lens separated by an air interval that changes during zooming.

  Alternatively, a single lens group, a plurality of lens groups, or a partial lens group may be moved in the optical axis direction to be a focusing lens group that performs focusing from an object at infinity to a near object. In this case, the focusing lens group can be applied to autofocus, and is also suitable for driving a motor for autofocus (such as an ultrasonic motor). In particular, as described above, it is preferable that at least a part of the first lens group G1 is a focusing lens group.

  Also, by moving the lens group or partial lens group so that it has a component in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis, or rotating (swinging) in the in-plane direction including the optical axis, image blur caused by camera shake is corrected. An anti-vibration lens group may be used. In particular, as described above, it is preferable that at least a part of the second lens group G2 is a vibration-proof lens group.

  Further, the lens surface may be formed as a spherical surface, a flat surface, or an aspheric surface. 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 disposed in the vicinity of the third lens group G3. However, the role of the aperture stop S 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.

  The variable magnification optical system ZL of the present embodiment has a variable magnification ratio of about 2.0 to 5.0.

  Hereinafter, an outline of a method for manufacturing the variable magnification optical system ZL according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. First, the lenses are arranged to prepare lens groups G1 to G4, respectively (step S100). Further, 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 third lens group G3 changes. Then, it arrange | positions so that the space | interval of the 3rd lens group G3 and the 4th lens group G4 may change (step S200). In addition, at least one single lens in the second lens group G2 is arranged as a vibration-proof lens group VL that moves so as to include a component in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis (step S300). Furthermore, the third lens group G3 and the fourth lens group G4 are arranged so as to satisfy the above-described conditional expression (1) (step S400).

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, in order from the object side, a negative meniscus lens-shaped aspherical negative lens L11 having a convex surface facing the object side, a biconcave lens L12, and an object side A positive meniscus lens L13 having a convex surface is arranged to form a first lens group G1, and in order from the object side, a positive meniscus lens L21 having a concave surface on the object side, a negative meniscus lens L22 having a convex surface on the object side, and A positive meniscus lens L23 having a convex surface facing the object side is arranged as a second lens group G2, and a cemented lens of a positive meniscus lens L31 having a concave surface facing the object side and a biconcave lens L32 is arranged in order from the object side.

Further, in the lower part of the sectional views of these zoom optical systems ZL1 to ZL4, along the optical axes of the lens groups G1 to G4 when zooming from the wide-angle end state (W) to the telephoto end state (T) The direction of movement is indicated by an arrow. As shown in FIGS. 1, 5, 9, and 13, the variable magnification optical systems ZL1 to ZL4 according to the first to fourth examples are first lenses having negative refractive power in order from the object side. The lens unit includes a group G1, a second lens group G2 having a positive refractive power, a third lens group G3 having a negative refractive power, and a fourth lens group G4 having a positive refractive power. Then, during zooming from the wide-angle end state to the telephoto end state, the air gap between the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2 changes, and the air gap between the second lens group G2 and the third lens group G3 changes. The distance between the lens groups changes so that the air distance between the third lens group G3 and the fourth lens group G4 decreases and increases.

  In each embodiment, the height of the aspheric surface in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis is y, and the distance (sag amount) along the optical axis from the tangential plane of the apex of each aspheric surface to each aspheric surface at height y. Is S (y), r is the radius of curvature of the reference sphere (paraxial radius of curvature), κ is the conic constant, and An is the nth-order aspheric coefficient, and is expressed by the following equation (a). .

S (y) = (y ² / r) / {1+ (1−κ × y ² / r ² ) ^1/2 }
+ A4 × y ⁴ + A6 × y ⁶ + A8 × y ⁸ + A10 × y ¹⁰ (a)

In each embodiment, the secondary aspheric coefficient A2 is zero. In the table of each example, an aspherical surface is marked with * on the right side of the surface number. In the following examples, “E−n” indicates “× 10 ⁻ⁿ ”.

In the variable magnification optical system ZL1 shown in FIG. 1, the first lens group G1 includes, in order from the object side, a negative meniscus aspheric negative lens L11 having a convex surface facing the object side, a biconcave lens L12, and an object side. And a positive meniscus lens L13 having a convex surface. Here, in the aspheric negative lens L11, a resin layer is provided on the glass lens surface (second surface) on the image side, and the image side surface (third surface) of the resin layer is formed in an aspheric shape. The second lens group G2, in order from the object side, includes a positive meniscus lens L21 having a concave surface facing the object side, a negative meniscus lens L22 having a convex surface facing the object side, and a positive meniscus lens L23 having a convex surface facing the object side. It is configured. The third lens group G3 includes, in order from the object side, a cemented lens of a positive meniscus lens L31 having a concave surface directed toward the object side and a biconcave lens L32.

  It is to be noted that the focal length of the entire system is f, and the image stabilization coefficient (ratio of the amount of image movement on the imaging surface to the amount of movement of the image stabilization lens group VL in image blur correction) is K. Can be corrected by moving the image stabilizing lens group VL for blur correction by (f · tan θ) / K in the direction orthogonal to the optical axis (the same applies to the following embodiments). In the first embodiment, in the wide-angle end state, the image stabilization coefficient is 0.77, and the focal length is 18.11 (mm). Therefore, the image stabilization lens for correcting the rotation blur of 0.45 ° is used. The movement amount of the group VL is 0.18 (mm). Further, in the telephoto end state of the first embodiment, the image stabilization coefficient is 1.29 and the focal length is 50.92 (mm).

In Table 1, f represents the focal length, FNO represents the F number, 2ω represents the angle of view, and TL represents the total length. Here, the total length TL represents the distance on the optical axis from the first surface of the lens surface to the image plane I when focusing on infinity.
