  • Publication number: 20200081233
    Abstract: A zoom lens forms an intermediate image at a position conjugate to a reduction side imaging plane and forms the intermediate image again on a magnification side imaging plane. The zoom lens includes a plurality of lens groups including at least two movable lens groups, which move by changing spacings between the groups adjacent to each other in a direction of an optical axis during zooming, at a position closer to the reduction side than the intermediate image. Among the plurality of lens groups, a final lens group closest to the reduction side has a positive refractive power, and remains stationary with respect to the reduction side imaging plane during zooming. The zoom lens satisfies predetermined conditional expressions (1) and (2) about the focal lengths of the movable lens groups.
