    DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

    [0024] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

    [0025] A zoom lens according to each Embodiment of the present invention includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens unit having a positive refractive power, a second lens unit having a negative refractive power, a third lens unit, a fourth lens unit having a positive refractive power, a fifth lens unit, and an aperture stop, which is arranged in the image side with respect to the fourth lens unit. An interval between each pair of adjacent lens units is changed for zooming. The first lens unit includes a lens unit arranged closest to the object side and configured not to move for zooming, and includes one or two lens units having a positive refractive power, respectively. The second lens unit includes one or two lens units having a negative refractive power, which are configured to move toward the image side for zooming from a wide angle end to a telephoto end. The third lens unit includes a lens unit having a negative refractive power, which is arranged closest to the object side, and the third lens unit includes one or two lens units configured to move for zooming, which include a lens unit configured to move along a locus convex toward the object side for zooming. The fourth lens unit is configured to move for zooming. The fifth lens unit is configured not to move for zooming. With this configuration, it is possible to construct a zoom lens having a high zoom ratio.

    [0026] The fourth lens unit is configured to move toward the image side during zooming from the wide angle end to a zoom position (this zoom position referred to herein as intermediate zoom state) at which the second lens unit and the third lens unit are closest to each other. This allows the lens diameter of the first lens unit to be reduced. Further, the total length of the zoom lens is reduced by avoiding interference between the two negative lens units in the intermediate zoom state.

    [0027] The zoom lens according to each Embodiment of the present invention satisfies the following conditional expression:


    0.25<L1/LSP<0.7;(1)


    and


    0.05<M4m/M2<0.5,(2)

    [0028] where LSP represents a distance between a surface of the first lens unit closest to the object side and an aperture stop surface, L1 represents a length of the first lens unit in an optical axis direction, M2 represents an amount of movement of the second lens unit from the wide angle end to the telephoto end, and M4m represents an amount of movement of the fourth lens unit during zooming from the wide angle end to the intermediate zoom state in which the second lens unit and the third lens unit are closest to each other.

    [0029] The conditional expression (1) defines a length of the first lens unit. When the total length of the first lens unit becomes longer so as to cause the value of L1/LSP to be larger than the lower limit value of the conditional expression (1), the lens diameter of the first lens unit is determined by an off-axial ray at the wide angle end. In view of this, it is possible to reduce the off-axial ray to reduce the lens diameter of the first lens unit by appropriately arranging the positive fourth lens unit, which is arranged in front of the aperture stop at the wide angle end. In contrast, when the value of L1/LSP exceeds the upper limit value of the conditional expression (1), the total lens length becomes disadvantageously longer.

    [0030] The conditional expression (2) defines the amount of movement of the fourth lens unit. When the position of the fourth lens unit at the wide angle end becomes away from the aperture stop so as to cause the value of M4m/M2 to be larger than the lower limit value of the conditional expression (2), it is possible to reduce the lens diameter of the first lens unit. In contrast, when the value of M4m/M2 exceeds the upper limit value of the conditional expression (2), variation of aberrations due to zooming becomes larger, resulting in deterioration of the optical performance.

    [0031] It is more preferred to set the numerical ranges of the conditional expressions (1) and (2) as follows.


    0.3<L1/LSP<0.6(1a)


    0.1<M4m/M2<0.3(2a)

    [0032] Further, it is desired to satisfy the following conditional expression:


    0.3<M4mt/M2<0(3), [0033] where M4mt represents an amount of movement of the fourth lens unit from the intermediate zoom state to the telephoto end.

    [0034] The conditional expression (3) defines the amount of movement of the positive lens unit from the zoom position at which the second lens unit and the third lens unit are closest to each other to the telephoto end. Variation in field curvature is corrected by moving the positive lens unit toward the object side from the intermediate zoom state to the telephoto end. When the value of M4mt/M2 exceeds the upper limit value of the conditional expression (3), variation of field curvature from the intermediate zoom state to the telephoto end becomes larger, resulting in deterioration of the optical performance. In contrast, when the value of M4mt/M2 falls below the lower limit value of the conditional expression (3), variation of field curvature is corrected excessively, resulting in deterioration of the optical performance.

    [0035] It is more preferred to set the numerical range of the conditional expression (3) as follows.


    0.2<M4mt/M2<0(3a),

    [0036] Further, it is desired to satisfy the following conditional expression:


    fw/X<0.65(4), [0037] where fw represents a focal length of the zoom lens at the wide angle end, and X represents a diagonal length of an image size. When the value of the conditional expression (4) exceeds the upper limit value thereof, the focal length at the wide angle end becomes larger, and the lens diameter of the first lens unit is determined by a ray other than that at the wide angle end. As a result, an effect of reducing the lens diameter of the first lens unit is reduced.

    [0038] It is more preferred to set the numerical range of the conditional expression (4) as follows.


    fw/X<0.5(4a)

    [0039] Further, the first lens unit consists of, in order from the object side to the image side, a negative lens subunit having a negative refractive power and a positive lens subunit having a positive refractive power. It is desired to satisfy the following conditional expression:


    f1n/f1<0.9(5), [0040] where f1n represents a focal length of the negative lens subunit, and f1 represents a focal length of the first lens unit. In this case, it is assumed that the number of lenses constructing the negative lens subunit is one-third or less of the number of lenses constructing the first lens unit. When the value of the conditional expression (5) exceeds the upper limit value thereof, the focal length at the wide angle end becomes larger, and the lens diameter of the first lens unit is determined by a ray other than that at the wide angle end. As a result, the effect of reducing the lens diameter of the first lens unit is reduced.

    [0041] Regarding the description of the conditional expression (5), it is assumed that the negative lens subunit and the positive lens subunit are not defined by an interval between lens surfaces, which changes due to movement for zooming or focus adjustment, but simply indicate one or more lenses arranged continuously in the optical axis direction. Further, the number of lenses constructing the negative lens subunit is one-third or less of the number of lenses constructing the first lens unit.

    [0042] It is more preferred to set the numerical range of the conditional expression (5) as follows.


    f1n/f1<0.8(5a)

    [0043] Further, the fourth lens unit is preferred to include an aspherical surface. Inclusion of an aspherical surface enables variation of the optical performance due to zooming to be suppressed.

    [0044] FIG. 11 is a schematic view of a main part of an image pickup apparatus (television camera system) using the zoom lens according to each of Embodiments 1 to 5 as a photographing optical system. FIG. 11 is an illustration of the zoom lens according to any one of Embodiments 1 to 5, which is denoted by 101, and a camera 124.

The zoom lens 101 includes a first lens unit F, an intermediate lens unit LZ, and a last lens unit R for forming an image. The first lens unit F includes a lens unit for focusing, which is configured to move on an optical axis for focusing.

    [0045] The intermediate lens unit LZ includes a movable lens unit configured to move on the optical axis for zooming in each of Embodiments 1 to 5. The aperture stop is denoted by SP. Driving mechanisms 114 and 115, such as helicoids and cams, are configured to drive the focus lens unit and the intermediate lens unit LZ in the optical axis direction, respectively.

    [0046] Motors (driving units) 116 to 118 are configured to electrically drive the driving mechanisms 114 and 115 and the aperture stop SP, respectively. Detectors 119 to 121, such as encoders, potentiometers, or photosensors, are configured to detect positions of the focus lens unit and the intermediate lens unit LZ on the optical axis, and the aperture diameter of the aperture stop SP, respectively. The camera 124 includes a glass block 109, which corresponds to an optical filter in the camera 124, and a solid-state image pickup element (photoelectric conversion element) 110, such as a charge coupled device (CCD) sensor or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor, which is configured to receive an object image formed by the zoom lens 101.

    [0047] Moreover, central processing units (CPUs) 111 and 122 are configured to control various kinds of driving of the camera 124 and the zoom lens 101. As described above, the zoom lens according to each Embodiment of the present invention is applied to a television camera to achieve an image pickup apparatus having high optical performance.

    [0048] The exemplary Embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, it is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to Embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

However, the present invention is not limited to this. Two or more lens units of the first to third lens units may each include two lens units.

    [0081] The exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described above, but the present invention is not limited to those embodiments and can be modified and changed variously within the scope of the gist thereof.

    [0082] Next, Numerical Embodiments 1 to 5 corresponding to Embodiments 1 to 5 of the present invention are shown. In each Numerical Embodiment, the position of a surface in the order from the object side is represented by i. A curvature radius of the i-th lens surface in the order from the object side is represented by ri, a lens thickness or an air interval between the i-th lens surface and the (i+1)th lens surface in the order from the object side are represented by di, and a refractive index and an Abbe number of a material of a lens between the i-th lens surface and the (i+1)th lens surface in the order from the object side are represented by ndi and vdi, respectively. Symbol BF represents a back focus by an air-equivalent distance from the last surface to the image plane. The total lens length is a distance from the first lens surface to the image pickup surface.

    [0083] When an X axis is set in the optical axis direction, an H axis is set in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, a direction of travel of light is defined as positive, a paraxial curvature radius is represented by R, and aspherical coefficients are represented by K, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, A10, A11, A12, A13, A14, A15, and A16, an aspherical shape is expressed as the following expression.

    [00001] X = ( 1 R ) 1 + 1 - ( 1 + K ) .Math. ( H R ) 2 + A .Math. .Math. 2 .Math. H 2 + A .Math. .Math. 3 .Math. H 3 + A .Math. .Math. 4 .Math. H 4 + A .Math. .Math. 5 .Math.

    [0084] In each aspherical shape, [e-X] represents [10.sup.X]. A half angle of view of the entire system and an image height being a maximum image height for determining a half angle of view are shown in addition to the specifications including the focal length and the f-number. Further, each lens unit data indicates the focal length of each lens unit. Further, an interval d of each optical surface that is indicated by (variable) changes for zooming, and a surface interval that depends on each focal length is shown in another table.

    [0085] An abbe number vd is defined by the following expression:


    vd=(nd1)/(nFnC), [0086] where nF represents a refractive index with respect to an F-line, nd represents a refractive index with respect to a d-line, and nC represents a refractive index with respect to a C-line.
