  • Patent number: 11899190
    Abstract: A zoom lens system includes: a first lens group having positive power; a second lens group having negative power; a third lens group having positive power; a fourth lens group having negative power; and a fifth lens group having positive power. The first lens group is made up of a single lens. The second lens group is made up of four lenses. The zoom lens system is configured to zoom from a wide-angle end toward a telephoto end such that the fifth lens group does not move but the first to fourth lens groups move to change intervals between the lens groups.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11269166
    Abstract: A zoom lens system includes: a first group of lenses having positive power; a second group of lenses having negative power; a third group of lenses having positive power; a fourth group of lenses having negative power; and a fifth group of lenses having power, which are arranged in this order from an object toward an image. While this system is zooming, intervals between these groups change and the fifth group of lenses moves toward the object. This system satisfies 0.12<T35t/TLt<0.25, where T35t is a distance, measured at telephoto end, from one surface, closest to the image, of the third group of lenses to another surface, closest to the object, of the fifth group of lenses, and TLt is a distance, measured at the telephoto end, from one surface, closest to the object, of the first group of lenses to an image plane.

The first lens group is made up of a single lens. The second lens group is made up of four lenses. While the zoom lens system is zooming from a wide-angle end toward a telephoto end during a shooting session, the fifth lens group does not move but the first to fourth lens groups move to change intervals between the lens groups.
