Abstract

An optical system includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens unit having a positive refractive power, a second lens unit having a positive refractive power, and a third lens unit having a negative refractive power. The second lens unit moves during focusing and a distance between adjacent lens units changes. The second lens unit includes a cemented lens closest to an object. The cemented lens includes a positive lens and a negative lens disposed on the image side of the positive lens. A predetermined condition is satisfied.

Claims (36)

1. An optical system comprising, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens unit having a positive refractive power, a second lens unit having a positive refractive power, and a third lens unit having a negative refractive power,

wherein the second lens unit moves and a distance between adjacent lens units changes during focusing,

wherein the second lens unit includes a cemented lens closest to an object,

wherein the cemented lens includes a positive lens and a negative lens disposed on the image side of the positive lens, and

wherein the following conditional expressions are satisfied:

−10.0<( r 2 LAP+r 1 LAP )/( r 2 LAP−r 1 LAP )<−1.00

0.50<( r 2 LAN+r 1 LAN )/( r 2 LAN−r 1 LAN )<10.0

where r1LAP is a radius of curvature of a surface of the positive lens on the object side, r2LAP is a radius of curvature of a surface of the positive lens on the image side, r1LAN is a radius of curvature of a surface of the negative lens on the object side, and r2LAN is a radius of curvature of a surface of the negative lens on the image side.

2. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression is satisfied:

0.81<| D 12/ r 2 LAP|< 2.00

where D12 is a distance on an optical axis from a surface of the first lens unit closest to an image to a surface of the second lens unit closest to the object.

3. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression is satisfied:

0.002<( nLAN−nLAP )/( nLAN+nLAP )<0.075

where nLAP is a refractive index for d-line of the positive lens, and nLAN is a refractive index for the d-line of the negative lens.

4. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression is satisfied:

1.00< f 1/ f< 5.00

where f is a focal length of the optical system when infinity is focused, and f1 is a focal length of the first lens unit.

5. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression is satisfied:

0.10< f 2/ f< 1.20

where f is a focal length of the optical system when infinity is focused, and f2 is a focal length of the second lens unit.

6. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression is satisfied:

0.50< |f 3| f< 10.00

where f is a focal length of the optical system when infinity is focused, and f3 is a focal length of the third lens unit.

7. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression is satisfied:

where D12 is a distance on an optical axis from a surface of the first lens unit closest to an image to a surface of the second lens unit closest to the object, and sk is a backfocus.

8. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression is satisfied:

1.00< td/f< 6.00

where f is a focal length of the optical system when infinity is focused, and td is an overall lens length of the optical system.

9. The optical system according to claim 1 , further comprising an aperture stop between the first lens unit and the second lens unit.

10. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the first lens unit includes three positive lenses.

11. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the first lens unit has three negative lenses.

12. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the second lens unit has three positive lenses.

13. An imaging apparatus comprising:

the optical system according to claim 1 ; and

an image sensor configured to receive light from the optical system.
