Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a zoom lens system suitable for automatic focusing by composing the lens system of a positive, a negative, and a positive lens group successively from a subject side and another following lens group on specific conditions. CONSTITUTION:For zooming from a telephoto end to a wide-angle end, the air gap between the 1st and the 2nd lens groups decreases uniformly and the air gap between the 2nd and the 3rd lens groups increases uniformly. Then, the 1st, the 2nd, and the 3rd lens groups are controlled independently of one another so that the air gap between the 3rd lens group and following lens group decreases uniformly from the telephoto end almost to the wide-angle end. For normal focusing from the infinite distance nearly to 1/10 magnification, the 3rd lens group is moved as a focusing lens group to an image side and the air gap necessary for the movement is secured over the entire zooming area; and inequalities I -III hold.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is based on a zoom lens focusing system. Recently, many autofocus cameras have been released, but when considering a case where a zoom lens is used in an autofocus camera, for example, the lens focuses at infinity. In this case, the amount of defocus on the long focus side for an object at a certain finite distance is larger than that on the short focus side. That is, the amount of blur, that is, the amount of defocus, differs depending on zooming. There are various autofocus methods, but if we consider a method that measures the amount of defocus and performs focusing, the problem is the relationship between the amount of defocus and the amount of focusing movement in this case.

In the case of the first group extension method used in many conventional zoom lenses, the amount of focusing movement for the same shooting distance is constant, but since the amount of defocus changes as the square of the zoom ratio, it changes slightly at the wide-angle end. It is necessary to increase the amount of lens movement relative to the amount of defocus, and the opposite is true on the telephoto side. Particularly in high-magnification zoom lenses, the change becomes large, leading to problems such as a complicated mechanical configuration and a long time required for focusing.

Furthermore, the mechanical configuration of the first group extension is complicated due to the fact that the lens group to be extended is separated from the camera body.

On the other hand, if we consider the overall movement method used in many single focal length lenses, the amount of focusing movement and the amount of defocusing correspond one to one, but in this case, a large drive power is required to move the entire lens. In addition to making the camera body large and heavy, there are other problems such as it takes a long time to focus. Further, in this case, contrary to the above, the focusing movement amount changes as the square of the zoom ratio, so the mechanical configuration becomes complicated.

5- In general, focusing is possible by giving a movement different from that during zooming to any lens group among the lens groups constituting a zoom lens system, except in special cases (equal magnification state). However, only the front lens feeding method satisfies conditions such as securing the desired magnification, mechanically advantageous focusing movement, and securing the air gap necessary for focusing. Furthermore, as a method for moving an arbitrary lens group, there are many applications for zoom lens systems capable of macro photography, but these are usually not designed for focusing, so focusing is not possible over the entire zooming range. There are many cases. Furthermore, no consideration has been given to the lens for autofocus, which is the object of the present invention.

To explain the present invention in more detail, as mentioned above,
As an autofocus zoom lens, the necessary conditions for 8- are that the relationship between the amount of movement for focusing and the amount of defocus does not differ significantly between the telephoto side and the wide-angle side, and on the other hand, the amount of focusing movement on the telephoto side It is also a necessary condition that the angle does not differ significantly on the wide-angle side. However, unfortunately, the ratio of the amount of extension between the telephoto side and the wide-angle side,
The ratio of the value of the defocus amount to the amount of extension on the telephoto side and the wide-angle side is in a mutually exclusive relationship in that if you try to reduce one, the other will increase. For example, when the front lens is extended or the combination is extended, the ratio of one side is 1, but the other ratio is the square of the zoom ratio. The present invention substantially satisfies both of the above conditions, and for this purpose, as the most advantageous zoom type, the first lens group (Il) with positive refractive power, the second lens group (Il) with negative refractive power, and the Adopts a type that continues with the third lens group (4) of refractive power, and when zooming from the telephoto end to the wide-angle end, the air gap between the third lens group and the second lens group uniformly decreases, and the second lens group The air gap between the group and the third lens group is uniformly increased, and the third lens group [
) with a focusing function. In this case, the amount of extension on the telephoto side will necessarily be larger than that on the wide-angle side due to the constraints imposed by the above relationship, but in order to secure the necessary air gap for this purpose, the third lens group (
6) and the lens group that follows it is set to a solution that decreases uniformly from the telephoto side to near the wide-angle end. Further, in a conventional zoom lens, the air gap between the third lens group and the lens group following it is minimized within a mechanically configurable range in relation to the overall length of the lens, amount of peripheral light, etc. However, since the zoom lens system of the present invention is configured to move the third lens group rearward and perform normal focusing from infinity with a transformation of about 10 times v10, an air gap is required for this movement. A larger minimum spacing is ensured compared to .

Next, the conditions of the present invention will be explained. Condition (1) is a condition to ensure that the amount of focusing movement does not differ significantly between the telephoto side and the wide-angle side, and also that the amount of defocus relative to the amount of focusing movement does not differ significantly between the telephoto side and the wide-angle side. If the lower limit is exceeded, the defocus amount will be too different between the telephoto side and the wide-angle side, making it difficult to maintain a good relationship between focus detection and extension amount control over the entire zooming range. On the other hand, if the upper limit is exceeded, the focusing extension amount will be too different between the telephoto side and the wide-angle side, which is not preferable in terms of controlling the focusing extension in the entire zooming range.

Condition (2) is a condition for enabling focusing at V10x near magnification by moving the focusing lens group from the infinity focus state to the image side.
If the lower limit is exceeded, it becomes difficult to obtain the desired closest distance at any focal length, and if the upper limit is exceeded, the lens system becomes large and cannot be considered a practical solution.

Furthermore, condition (3) requires that the absolute value of the lateral magnification β of the focusing lens group be greater than 1 in all possible states of zooming and focusing synchronization, and the state in which 1βI is equal to 1 is With such a configuration, it is impossible to focus to the desired closest distance in all zooming areas. Also, 1
If βi is smaller than 1, it is impossible to focus toward the near side by moving the focusing lens group toward the image side.

Next, specific examples will be described. The zoom types traditionally used in many zoom lenses are positive,
There is a so-called three-component mechanically corrected zoom lens system of negative, positive, and positive components. Embodiment 1 shows a case in which the third group is set as a focusing lens group in this zoom type. In order to satisfy this requirement with the zoom type of this example, it is necessary to set the 1x magnification state of the second lens group to near wide-angle, and it is necessary to shorten the focal length of the second lens group compared to conventional lenses. . Although it is possible to relatively lengthen the focal length of the second lens group, it becomes difficult to obtain the desired zoom ratio, amount of peripheral light, etc.

Further, as an embodiment of the present invention, a modification of the three-component mechanically corrected zoom lens in which the movement types of the 1st, 2, and 3rd lens groups are changed is possible, and examples thereof are shown in Examples 2 and 3. . In the zoom type, the 1st and 3rd lens groups move for zooming.

In this zoom type, the second lens group can be fixed to the image plane by making the absolute value of the combined focal length of the first and second lens groups at the wide-angle end shorter than the shortest focal length of the entire system. The first and third lens groups move in one direction during zooming. Example 2 is an example in which the relationship between the focuser 13-lens movement amount and the defocus amount is compressed, and Example 3 is an example in which the change in the extension amount is compressed.

The above embodiments are of a type in which the rear part of the focusing lens group in the lens system does not move and therefore its lateral magnification β8 does not change.
An example in which the lateral magnification βB changes is shown below. Similar to Example 3, these Examples 4 and 5 are solutions in which the imaging magnification of the third lens group on the wide-angle side is set to the same magnification, and changes in the extension amount are compressed. This is a high-magnification standard zoom lens for formats, and Example 5 is an implementation type for a TV lens.

In the second embodiment, with the above configuration, the amount of focusing movement for the same shooting distance changes as the square of the zoom ratio near infinity, so that there is no substantial difference in the amount of defocus between the telephoto side and the wide-angle side. That's what I do.

By the way, the lens system of the present invention moves the first lens group by moving the third lens group. Second. Since focusing is performed while changing the configuration of the zoom system itself consisting of the third group, in the case of the above configuration, the focal length of the entire system is slightly reduced from the value at infinity due to focusing on the near side. The degree of reduction is greater on the telephoto side than on the wide-angle side. Furthermore, in the above configuration, the amount of movement of the focusing lens group for the same photographing distance depends on the focal length of the entire system. Therefore, the ratio of the focusing movement amount on the telephoto side and the wide-angle side is reduced near infinity by the degree of decrease in the focal length of the entire system on the telephoto side compared to near infinity. Therefore, in the above configuration, the difference in the amount of defocus can be made extremely small while the difference in the amount of focusing movement can be prevented from becoming extremely large. As is clear from the above, the configuration described in "-" is particularly suitable for constructing an embodiment closer to the upper limit of condition (1).

On the premise that condition (3) is satisfied, if the focusing lens group has the imaging relationship of condition (7), then the focusing lens group must be moved in order to move the image point of the focusing lens group by the same amount. There is an element that the amount is larger at the wide-angle end than at the telephoto end. On the other hand, there is a factor in that the amount of movement of the focusing lens group for the same photographing distance becomes larger on the telephoto side. Therefore, in the above configuration, these contradictory factors cancel each other out, so that the difference in focusing extension amount depending on the focal length for the same photographing distance can be made extremely small within a range that does not significantly increase the difference in defocus amount. As is clear from the above, condition (7) makes it possible to configure any lens system within the range of condition (1). Examples 3 and 4.
5 particularly shows an example closer to the lower limit of condition (1).
