DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0026] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail in accordance with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] The zoom lens according to one embodiment of the present invention includes, in order from an object side to an image side: a first lens unit having a negative refractive power and configured not to move for zooming; a second lens unit having a positive refractive power and configured to move for zooming from a wide angle end to a telephoto end; and a rear lens unit arranged closest to the image side and configured not to move for zooming. The zoom lens is configured such that an interval between adjacent lens units changes for zooming. The rear lens unit includes at least one optical element OE satisfying the following conditional expressions:

2.10010.sup.3dm+0.693<gFm(1); and

0.555<gFm<0.900(2),

where, when refractive indices with respect to a g-line, an F-line, a d-line, and a C-line of the Fraunhofer lines of the optical element OE are represented by Ng, NF, Nd, and NC, respectively, dm and gFm are expressed by the following expressions:

dm=(Nd1)/(NFNC); and

gFm=(NgNF)/(NFNC).

[0028] In the zoom lens according to one embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned lens configuration and characteristics of the optical element OE included in the lens unit arranged closest to the image side are defined by the conditional expressions (1) and (2). With this, it is possible to achieve the wide angle of view and high optical performance, and particularly possible to satisfactorily correct a second-order spectrum of chromatic aberration of magnification at the wide angle end.

[0029] Now, the principle of correcting the chromatic aberration in one embodiment of the present invention is described. Axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration of magnification of the F line with respect to the C-line among the chromatic aberrations are generally called a first-order spectrum of the axial chromatic aberration and a first-order spectrum of the chromatic aberration of magnification, respectively. Further, axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration of magnification of the g-line with respect to the F-line that remain after the respective first-order spectrums have been corrected to zero are called a second-order spectrum of the axial chromatic aberration and a second-order spectrum of the chromatic aberration of magnification, respectively.

[0030] An axial chromatic aberration coefficient L and a magnification chromatic aberration coefficient T of the entire system of the zoom lens are provided by the following expressions (3) and (4), respectively:

L=(h_ih_i_i/_i)(3); and

T=(h_ih_bar_i_i/_i)(4),

where h_i represents a height from an optical axis of an axial ray of an i-th thin lens in paraxial ray tracing, h_bar_i represents a height from an optical axis of an off-axial ray of the i-th thin lens in the paraxial ray tracing, _i represents a power of the i-th thin lens in the paraxial ray tracing, and _i represents an Abbe number of the i-th thin lens in the paraxial ray tracing.

[0031] Further, an axial chromatic aberration amount f and a magnification chromatic aberration amount Y of the entire system of the zoom lens are provided by the following expressions (5) and (6), respectively:

f=fL(5); and

Y=YT(6),

where f represents a focal length of the entire system of the zoom lens, and Y represents an image height thereof.

[0032] From the expressions (3) and (4), the axial chromatic aberration is proportional to a square of the height of the axial ray, and the chromatic aberration of magnification is proportional to the product of the height of the axial ray and the height of the off-axial ray. Therefore, at a position where the off-axial ray is relatively higher than the axial ray, the axial chromatic aberration is not influenced and only the chromatic aberration of magnification can be corrected effectively.

[0033] Further, in the zoom lens having a wide angle of view, when the first-order spectrum of the chromatic aberration of magnification is made zero at the wide angle end as illustrated in FIG. 7, the second-order spectrum of the chromatic aberration of magnification tends to remain in the positive direction.

[0034] In order to correct this, at the position where the off-axial ray is relatively higher than the axial ray, a material having a large absolute value of a difference in refractive index between the g-line and the F-line is preferably used with an appropriate power for the lens having a positive refractive power. With this, it is possible to keep satisfactory balance in correcting the second-order spectrums of the axial chromatic aberration and the chromatic aberration of magnification at the wide angle end, and to satisfactorily correct the chromatic aberration in the entire zoom range.

[0035] The conditional expressions (1) and (2) define that the partial dispersion of the g-line with respect to the F-line in the optical element is larger than in a normal optical glass material.

[0036] When the obtained values of the expressions (1) and (2) fall below the lower limits thereof, the second-order spectrum in the chromatic aberration of magnification at the wide angle end is corrected insufficiently. When the obtained value of the expression (2) exceeds the upper limit thereof, the second-order spectrums in the axial chromatic aberration and the chromatic aberration of magnification at the wide angle end are corrected excessively.

[0037] It is more preferred to set the numerical ranges of the conditional expressions (1) and (2) as follows.

2.10010.sup.3dm+0.713<gFm(1a)

0.6<gFm<0.8(2a)

[0038] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a ratio of a focal length fn of the optical element OE and a focal length ff of the rear lens unit is defined by the following conditional expression (7):

1.3<|fn/ff|<9.0(7).

[0039] The second-order spectrum in the chromatic aberration of magnification at the wide angle end generally remains in the positive direction. In order to correct this, it is effective to use the optical element OE made of a material having a positive refractive power and high extraordinary dispersibility near an image plane, which is a position effective in correcting the chromatic aberration of magnification in the optical system (zoom lens).

[0040] When the obtained value of the conditional expression (7) exceeds the upper limit thereof, the chromatic aberration is excessively corrected by the optical element OE to cause deterioration in axial chromatic aberration at the wide angle end. Further, the chromatic aberration of magnification at the telephoto end increases. Moreover, the thickness of the optical element OE increases, and it becomes difficult to manufacture the optical element OE.

[0041] When the obtained value of the conditional expression (7) falls below the lower limit thereof, it becomes difficult to obtain a sufficient effect of correction by the optical element OE on the second-order spectrum of the chromatic aberration of magnification at the wide angle end.

[0042] It is more preferred to set the numerical range of the conditional expression (7) as follows.

1.8<|fn/ff|<7.5(7a)

[0043] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a dispersion dm of the optical element OE is defined by the following conditional expression (8):

13<dm<35(8).

[0044] When the obtained value of the conditional expression (8) exceeds the upper limit thereof, dispersion of the optical element OE and that of the negative lens in the unit closest to the image side come near. Thus, the refractive power of each single unit increases, and it becomes difficult to correct various aberrations at the wide angle end. It also becomes difficult to manufacture the optical element OE with low dispersion and high extraordinary dispersibility.

[0045] When the obtained value of the conditional expression (8) falls below the lower limit thereof, dispersion of the optical element OE and that of the negative lens in the unit closest to the image side are separated from each other. Thus, it is difficult to obtain a sufficient effect of correction by the optical element OE on the second-order spectrum of the chromatic aberration of magnification at the wide angle end.

[0046] It is more preferred to set the numerical range of the conditional expression (8) as follows.

15<dm<30(8a)

[0047] As a further embodiment of the present invention, it is defined by the following conditional expression (9) that the position at which the optical element OE is provided in the optical system is near the image plane:

0.5<D/H<3.0(9),

where D represents a distance between a thickness central position (the central position in the thickness of the optical element OE on the optical axis) and the image plane, and H represents the maximum image height of the optical system.

[0048] When the obtained value of the conditional expression (9) exceeds the upper limit thereof, the height of the axial ray passing through the optical element OE increases, and the second-order spectrum of the axial chromatic aberration is corrected excessively. When the obtained value of the conditional expression (9) falls below the lower limit thereof, a back focus appropriate as the optical system cannot be ensured, and the interference with and the mounting in the camera become difficult.

[0049] It is more preferred to set the numerical range of the conditional expression (9) as follows.

0.7<D/H<2.0(9a)

[0050] As a further embodiment of the present invention, it is defined that the optical element OE is cemented with a lens made of a glass material.

[0051] The optical element OE is made of a resin material, and hence the optical element OE can be stably arranged in the optical system by being cemented with the lens made of the glass material.

[0052] As a further embodiment of the present invention, it is defined that the first lens unit includes a lens unit configured to move for focusing.

[0053] Through arrangement of the lens unit configured to move for focusing in the first lens unit, an extension amount at the time of focusing can be kept constant even with any focal length from the wide angle end to the telephoto end. This enables movement of the focusing lens by a relatively simple mechanical drive mechanism and achievement of a manual focus mechanism having high followability at the time of focusing.

[0054] As a further embodiment of the present invention, it is defined by the following conditional expression (10) that the back focus of the optical system is short:

0.15<BF/ID<0.9(10),

where ID represents a distance from the aperture stop to the surface of the rear lens unit that is closest to the image side at the wide angle end, and BF represents a back focus.

[0055] When the obtained value of the conditional expression (10) exceeds the upper limit thereof, the back focus becomes longer, the height of the off-axial ray passing through the optical element OE decreases, and the height of the axial ray increases. Therefore, the second-order spectrum of the chromatic aberration of magnification is corrected insufficiently, and the second-order spectrum of the axial chromatic aberration is corrected excessively. It is required ensure the back focus, and hence the refractive power of the second movable unit decreases to make the size reduction difficult.

[0056] When the obtained value of the conditional expression (10) falls below the lower limit thereof, the back focus appropriate as the optical system cannot be ensured, and the interference with and the mounting in the camera become difficult.

[0057] It is more preferred to set the numerical range of the conditional expression (10) as follows.

0.2<BF/ID<0.5(10a)

[0058] Next, features of each of Numerical Embodiments are described.
