Patent number: 8154801Abstract: A zoom lens includes, in order from an object side to an image side: a first lens group that has a positive refractive power and remains stationary in a direction of an optical axis; a second lens group that has a negative refractive power and is movable on the optical axis so as to perform a zoom operation; a third lens group that has a positive refractive power and remains stationary in the direction of the optical axis during zooming and focusing; a fourth lens group that has a positive refractive power and is movable on the optical axis so as to correct fluctuation in imaging position and correct change in imaging position caused by change in object distance; and a fifth lens group that has a positive refractive power and remains stationary in the direction of the optical axis.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2010Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Mitsuhiro Suzaki, Shinichi Arita, Takuya Anzawa

Patent number: 7738185Abstract: A zoom lens and imaging apparatus implementing four lens groups including a first lens group G1 having a positive refractive power, a second lens group G2 having a negative refractive power, a third lens group G3 having a positive refractive power, and a fourth lens group G4 having a positive refractive power. When a positional state is varied from a wide-angle-end state to a telephoto-end state, the second lens group is moved to an image side, and the fourth lens group is moved to compensate for image plane variation caused by the movement of the second lens group.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2006Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Motoyuki Ohtake, Koji Okajima, Mitsuhiro Suzaki

Patent number: 7609460Abstract: A zoom lens configured by arranging a first lens group, a second lens group, a third lens group, a fourth lens group, and a fifth lens group in order from the object side to the image side, and further having an aperture diaphragm on the object side of the third lens group. In the first lens group, a first lens, a second lens, and a third lens are located in order from the object side to the image side. In the second lens group, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens are located in order from the object side to the image side. The third lens group is made up of a seventh lens which is a convex lens, the fourth lens group is made up of at least two or more cemented lenses, the third lens group and the fourth lens group include at least one surface formed into an aspherical surface.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2008Date of Patent: October 27, 2009Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Mitsuhiro Suzaki, Yusuke Nanjo, Shinichi Arita
