Abstract

A zoom lens consists of, in order from an object side, a positive first lens group, a negative moving lens group, a first positive moving lens group, a second positive moving lens group, and a subsequent lens group including a stop. During zooming, the first lens group is not moved, and the negative moving lens group, the first positive moving lens group, and the second positive moving lens group are moved. The first positive moving lens group consists of a positive single lens and a cemented lens obtained by cementing a positive lens and a negative lens. The zoom lens satisfies a predetermined conditional expression.

Claims (59)

1. A zoom lens consisting of, in order from an object side to an image side:

a first lens group that has a positive refractive power and is fixed with respect to an image surface during zooming;

a negative moving lens group that consists of one or two lens groups moved along an optical axis by changing an interval with an adjacent lens group during zooming, and has a negative refractive power as a whole at a wide angle end;

a first positive moving lens group that has a positive refractive power and is moved along the optical axis during zooming;

a second positive moving lens group that has a positive refractive power and is moved along the optical axis during zooming; and

a subsequent lens group including a stop,

wherein all intervals between adjacent lens groups are changed during zooming,

all lens groups included in the negative moving lens group are moved to the image side during zooming from the wide angle end to a telephoto end,

the first positive moving lens group consists of a single lens that is a positive lens, and a cemented lens configured by cementing two lenses in which any one is a positive lens and the other is a negative lens,

in a state where an object at infinity is focused, in a case where a focal length of the first lens group is denoted by f1, a focal length of the negative moving lens group at the wide angle end is denoted by fNw, a focal length of the first positive moving lens group is denoted by fP1, and a focal length of the second positive moving lens group is denoted by fP2, Conditional Expressions (1a) and (2) are satisfied, which are represented by
