Patent number: 9841608Abstract: An inner focus lens includes sequentially from an object side, a first lens group having a positive refractive power; a second lens group having a negative refractive power; and a third lens group having a negative refractive power. The second lens group is moved along an optical axis, whereby focusing from a focus state for an object at infinity to a focus state for a minimum object distance is performed. A lens group configured by a lens other than a lens that is disposed farthest on the object side is moved in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis to shift an image. The inner focus lens satisfies a conditional expression (1) 0.15?(1??p)×?r?4.50, where ?p is transverse magnification of the orthogonally moved lens group and ?r is composite transverse magnification of a lens group disposed farther on an image side than the orthogonally moved lens group.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2014Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Assignee: TAMRON CO., LTD.Inventor: Takahiko Sakai

Patent number: 9678305Abstract: An inner focus lens includes sequentially from an object side, a first lens group having a positive refractive power; a second lens group having a negative refractive power; and a third lens group having a negative refractive power. The second lens group is moved along the optical axis, whereby focusing from a focus state for an object at infinity to a focus state for a minimum object distance is performed. The inner focus lens satisfies a conditional expression (1) ?29.0?f3/f??5.4, where f3 is a focal length of the third lens group at the focus state for an object at infinity and f is a focal length of the optical system overall at the focus state for an object at infinity.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2014Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: TAMRON CO., LTD.Inventor: Takahiko Sakai
