DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

(18) This embodiment provides an optical system, an image pickup apparatus, and a lens apparatus, each of which can satisfactorily correct a chromatic aberration and a curvature of field during imaging at all object distances from infinity to a short distance while reducing an overall length and a size of an entire focus unit.

(19) The optical system according to this embodiment includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens unit L1 having a positive refractive power, a second lens unit L2 having a positive refractive power, and a third lens unit L3 having a positive refractive power. During focusing from infinity to a short distance, the first lens unit L1 is fixed, and the second lens unit L2 and the third lens unit L3 are moved so that a distance between them is changed. Due to this configuration, the optical system according to this embodiment can suppress the spherical aberration, the curvature of field, and the lateral chromatic aberration in the overall imaging range during focusing from infinity to a short distance.

(20) The optical system according to this embodiment satisfies the following conditions:
0.01<f1/f<2.60(1)
0.50<f2/f3<30.00(2) where f is a focal length of the optical system in an in-focus state on infinity, and f1, f2, and f3 are focal lengths of the first lens unit L1, the second lens unit L2, and the third lens unit L3, respectively.

(21) The conditional expression (1) properly sets a ratio between the focal length of the first lens unit L1 and the focal length of the optical system during focusing on infinity. If the value is higher than the upper limit in the conditional expression (1), the focal length of the first lens unit L1 becomes excessively long, the backfocus becomes long, and it becomes difficult to reduce the overall length. If the value is lower than the lower limit in the conditional expression (1), the focal length of the first lens unit L1 becomes excessively small, and it becomes difficult to correct mainly the spherical aberration, the longitudinal chromatic aberration, etc., particularly in a large diameter lens.

(22) The conditional expression (2) properly sets a ratio between the focal length of the second lens unit L2 and the focal length of the third lens unit L3. If the value is higher than the upper limit in the conditional expression (2), the focal length of the second lens unit L2 becomes excessively long, and the second lens unit L2, which is the focus unit, becomes undesirably large. If the value is lower than the lower limit in the conditional expression (2), the focal length of the third lens unit L3 becomes excessively long, and the third lens unit L3, which is the focus unit, becomes undesirably large.

(23) The numerical range of each conditional expression may be set as follows:
0.01<f1/f<2.55(1a)
0.70<f2/f3<20.00(2a)

(24) The numerical range of each conditional expression may be set as follows.
0.01<f1/f<2.50(1b)
0.90<f2/f3<10.00(2b)

(25) By satisfying the above configuration and conditional expressions, this embodiment provides an optical system, an image pickup apparatus, and a lens apparatus, each of which can satisfactorily correct a chromatic aberration and a curvature of field during imaging at all object distances from infinity to a short distance while reducing an overall length and a size of an entire focus unit.

(26) The optical system according to this embodiment may satisfy one or more of the following conditional expressions.
0.01<sk/f<1.00(3)
0.01<sk/f2<0.30(4)
0.01<TG2/f2<0.10(5)
0.10<TG2/TG3<3.00(6)
0.20<DG12/f1<1.00(7)
0.01<FL2/f2<0.20(8)
1.00<FL2/FL3<3.00(9)
0.05<f/X1<3.00(10)

(27) Here, sk is a backfocus of the optical system during focusing on infinity, TG2 and TG3 are thicknesses of the second lens unit L2 and the third lens unit L3 in the optical axis direction, respectively, and DG12 is a distance between the first lens unit L1 and the second lens unit L2. FL2 and FL3 are moving amounts (drawing amounts whose sign is positive when the lens unit is drawn to the object side) of the second lens unit L2 and the third lens unit L3 from focusing on infinity to focusing on an object 500 mm apart from the image plane, respectively. X1 is a distance from the diaphragm (aperture stop) to the image plane during focusing on infinity. The thickness of the lens unit in the optical axis direction refers to a distance on the optical axis from the lens surface closest to the object in the lens unit to the lens surface closest to the image in the lens unit.

(28) The conditional expression (3) properly sets a ratio between the focal length of the optical system and the backfocus during focusing on infinity. If the value is higher than the upper limit in the conditional expression (3), the backfocus becomes excessively long relative to the focal length of the optical system, and it becomes difficult to reduce the overall length. On the other hand, if the value is lower than the lower limit in the conditional expression (3), the backfocus becomes too short relative to the focal length of the optical system, and the incident angle on the sensor becomes undesirably tight and the chromatic aberration of the peripheral portion deteriorates.

(29) The conditional expression (4) properly sets a ratio between the focal length of the second lens unit L2 and the backfocus during focusing on infinity. If the value is higher than the upper limit in the conditional expression (4), the backfocus becomes too long relative to the focal length of the second lens unit L2, and it becomes difficult to shorten the overall length. When the value is lower than the lower limit in the conditional expression (4), the focal length of the second lens unit L2 becomes too short, the moving amount during focusing on the short distance becomes relatively large relative to the backfocus, and the overall length becomes undesirably long.

(30) The conditional expression (5) properly sets a ratio between the thickness and the focal length of the second lens unit L2, which is the first focus unit. If the value is higher than the upper limit in the conditional expression (5), the second lens unit L2 becomes too thick to reduce the weight of the focus lens unit. On the other hand, if the value is lower than the lower limit in the conditional expression (5), the power of the focus lens unit becomes too loose, and a focus moving amount becomes large and undesirably hinders a compact configuration.

(31) The conditional expression (6) properly sets a ratio between the thickness of the second lens unit L2, which is the first focus unit, and the thickness of the third lens unit L3, which is the second focus lens unit. If the value is higher than the upper limit in the conditional expression (6), the second lens unit L2 becomes too thick. Therefore, the first focus lens unit becomes too heavy relative to the weight of the second focus lens unit and undesirably prevents the weight reduction. If the value is lower than the lower limit in the conditional expression (6), the third lens unit L3 becomes too thick, and the second focus lens unit becomes too heavy relative to the first focus lens unit. Thus, this configuration undesirably prevents the reduction in size and weight.

(32) The conditional expression (7) properly sets a ratio between the distance DG12 between the first lens unit L1 and the second lens unit L2, and the focal length of the first lens unit L1. If the value is higher than the upper limit in the conditional expression (7), the overall length becomes long, which undesirably hinders a small configuration. If the value is lower than the lower limit in the conditional expression (7), the power of the first lens unit L1 becomes too loose and the front lens diameter becomes undesirably large. In addition, the distance DG12 between the first lens unit L1 and the second lens unit L2 becomes too small and undesirably makes it difficult to focus on the short distance.

(33) The conditional expression (8) properly sets a ratio between the moving amount FL2 of the second lens unit L2 from focusing on infinity to focusing on an object 500 mm apart from the image plane and the focal length f2 of the second lens unit L2 which is the first focus lens unit. If the value is higher than the upper limit in the conditional expression (8), the power of the second lens unit L2 becomes too strong, and the performance deteriorates during focusing on the short distance. If the value is lower than the lower limit in the conditional expression (8), the power of the second lens unit L2 becomes too loose and the focus moving amount becomes large and prevents the miniaturization.

(34) The conditional expression (9) properly sets a ratio between the moving amount FL2 of the second lens unit L2 from focusing on infinity to focusing on the object 500 mm apart from the image plane and the moving amount FL3 of the third lens unit L3 from focusing on infinity to focusing on the object 500 mm apart from the image plane. If the value is higher than the upper limit in the conditional expression (9), the moving amount of the second lens unit L2 becomes too large, and the mechanical mechanism for moving the second lens unit L2, which is the first focus unit, becomes undesirably large. In addition, the angle of view during motion image capturing undesirably significantly changes. If the value is lower than the lower limit in the conditional expression (9), the moving amount of the third lens unit L3 becomes too large, and the mechanical mechanism for moving the third lens unit L3, which is the second focus unit, becomes undesirably large.

(35) The conditional expression (10) properly sets a ratio between the distance X1 from the diaphragm to the image plane during focusing on infinity and the focal length f of the optical system. If the value is higher than the upper limit in the conditional expression (10), the distance from the diaphragm to the image plane during focusing on infinity and the focal length of the optical system become too short, and the exit pupil position in the optical system approaches to the image plane. As a result, it becomes difficult to secure the telecentricity in a range compatible with the electronic image sensor (solid-state image sensor). If the value is lower than the lower limit in the conditional expression (10), the distance from the diaphragm to the image plane during focusing on infinity and the focal length of the optical system becomes too long, and it is difficult to suppress the overall length of the optical system.

(36) Satisfying the above configuration and conditional expressions can provide an optical system that can satisfactorily correct the chromatic aberration, the curvature of field, etc. during imaging at all object distances from infinity to the short distance while reducing the overall length and the size of the entire focus unit.

(37) The numerical range of each conditional expression (3) to (10) may be set as follows:
0.05<sk/f<0.90(3a)
0.01<sk/f2<0.25(4a)
0.01<TG2/f2<0.09(5a)
0.2<TG2/TG3<2.50(6a)
0.20<DG12/f1<0.80(7a)
0.01<FL2/f2<0.15(8a)
1.00<FL2/FL3<2.50(9a)
0.05<f/X1<2.00(10a)

(38) The numerical range of each conditional expression (3a) to (10a) may be set as follows:
0.10<sk/f<0.80(3b)
0.05<sk/f2<0.20(4b)
0.010<TG2/f2<0.071(5b)
0.30<TG2/TG3<2.00(6b)
0.20<DG12/f1<0.70(7b)
0.01<FL2/f2<0.10(8b)
1.00<FL2/FL3<2.00(9b)
0.05<f/X1<1.00(10b)

(39) The optical system according to this embodiment may correct the distortion and the lateral chromatic aberration among various aberrations by electrical image processing. Then, the entire lens diameter can be made small, the optical system can increase the imaging magnification during imaging at the short distance, the chromatic aberration, the curvature of field, etc. can be satisfactorily corrected during imaging at the short distance.

(40) In addition, during focusing from infinity to the short distance, the optical system according to this embodiment can easily restrain the angle of view from changing during motion image capturing, by moving the second lens unit L2 and the third lens unit L3 to the object side.

The overall lens length is a length obtained by adding the backfocus to the distance on the optical axis from the frontmost surface (lens surface closest to the object) of the zoom lens to the final surface. The lens unit may include one or more lenses.

(76) Referring now to FIGS. 16 and 17, a description will be given of an embodiment of an image pickup apparatus and a lens apparatus using the optical system shown in each example.

(77) FIG. 16 is a schematic view of principal part of a digital still camera (image pickup apparatus) using an optical system according to this embodiment as an imaging optical system. In FIG. 16, reference numeral 10 denotes a camera body, reference numeral 11 denotes an imaging optical system including the optical system according to this embodiment, and reference numeral 12 is a solid-state image sensor (photoelectric conversion element), such as a CCD sensor and CMOS sensor, built in the camera body and configured to receive an object image formed by the imaging optical system 11. Reference numeral 13 denotes a recorder configured to record the object image received by the image sensor 12, and reference numeral 14 denotes a viewfinder used to observe an object image displayed on a display device (not illustrated). The display device includes a liquid crystal panel or the like, and displays an object image formed on the image sensor 12. The camera body 10 may be a so-called single-lens reflex camera having a quick turn mirror, or a so-called mirrorless camera having no quick turn mirror.

(78) FIG. 17 is a schematic external view of a lens apparatus 20 such as an interchangeable lens. The lens apparatus 20 includes the imaging optical system 11. The lens apparatus 20 may have a focus operating unit 21 and an operating unit 22 for changing a mode. When the user operates the focus operating unit 21, the arrangement of the lens unit of the imaging optical system 11 may be mechanically or electrically changed, and the focal position may be changed. The user may operate the operating unit 22 for changing the mode, so as to mechanically or electrically change the arrangement of the lens units in the imaging optical system 11 and to change the aberrations.

(79) By applying the optical system according to this embodiment to the image pickup apparatus and the lens apparatus in this way, the image pickup apparatus and the lens apparatus can be obtained each of which can satisfactorily correct a chromatic aberration and a curvature of field during imaging at all object distances from infinity to a short distance while reducing an overall length and a size of an entire focus unit.
