  • Patent number: 11307391
    Abstract: An imaging lens and an imaging device furnished with same, including a first lens group having a positive refractive power, a second lens group having a positive refractive power, and a third lens group having a negative refractive power, disposed in sequence from the object side, wherein zooming from a point at infinity to an object at the near point is performed by moving the second lens group along an optical axis toward the object side while affixing the first lens group and third lens group, and satisfying predetermined conditional expressions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 19, 2019
    Date of Patent: April 19, 2022
    Assignee: TAMRON CO., LTD.
    Inventors: Junichi Yamazoe, Koutarou Joujiki
  • Patent number: 10935772
    Abstract: A zoom lens including a front group and a rear group, wherein a lens group arranged on an object side of a widest air interval at a wide-angle end is defined as the front group and a lens group arranged on an image side of the widest air interval at the wide-angle end is defined as the rear group, the front group having a negative refractive power, the rear group having a positive refractive power. Changing focal length from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end is performed by changing an air interval between the lens groups.

  • Patent number: 10432870
    Abstract: The present invention addresses a problem of providing a zoom lens which achieves a longer focal length and has a shorter optical overall length at the telephoto end, and an imaging apparatus provided with the zoom lens. In order to solve the problem, a zoom lens is configured to include, in order from the object side, a positive first lens group G1, a negative second lens group G2, a positive composite positive lens group, and a negative composite negative lens group. The composite positive lens group includes a positive third lens group G3, and is consisting of one or more lens groups having positive refractive power. The composite negative lens group includes a negative A lens group and a negative B lens group having negative refractive power. In the zoom lens, changing focal length is performed by varying distances between the lens groups, and a predetermined condition is satisfied.

  • Publication number: 20190018221
    Abstract: A zoom lens including, in order from an object side, a positive first lens group G1, a negative second lens group G2, a composite positive lens group which includes, at the most object side, a positive third lens group G3, which is consisting of one or more lens groups having positive refractive power, and which has positive refractive power as a whole, and a composite negative lens group which includes, at the most object side, a negative A lens group, which additionally includes at least a negative B lens group, and which has negative refractive power as a whole. In the zoom lens, changing focal length is performed by varying the distances between the lens groups, and a predetermined condition is satisfied.
