Abstract

The present disclosure relates to optical lens, and provides a zoom lens including, from an object side to an image side in sequence: a first lens having a negative refractive power, a second lens having a positive refractive power, a third lens having a negative refractive power, a fourth lens having a positive refractive power, a fifth lens group having a negative refractive power; distances between adjacent lenses of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens and the fourth lens or between the fourth lens and the fifth lens group vary in the direction of the optical axis; the fifth lens group including a fifth lens having a positive refractive power and a sixth lens having a negative refractive power; wherein the zoom lens satisfies conditions of: f_Tele/f_Wide>1.8; 10.00≤D12_Wide/D12_Tele≤20.00; and 15.00≤d9_Wide/d9_Tele≤22.50.

Claims (45)

1. A zoom lens consisting of, from an object side to an image side in sequence: a first lens having a negative refractive power, a second lens having a positive refractive power, a third lens having a negative refractive power, a fourth lens having a positive refractive power, a fifth lens group having a negative refractive power; wherein

distances between adjacent two of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens and the fifth lens group are variable in the direction of an optical axis;

the fifth lens group consists of a fifth lens having a positive refractive power and a sixth lens having a negative refractive power; the total number of lenses with refractive power is 6; and

the zoom lens satisfies conditions of:

f_Wide denotes a focal length of the zoom lens at the wide angle end;

f_Tele denotes a focal length of the zoom lens at the telephoto end;

D12_Wide denotes an on-axis distance from an image-side surface of the first lens to an object-side surface of the second lens at the wide angle end;

D12_Tele denotes an on-axis distance from an image-side surface of the first lens to an object-side surface of the second lens at the telephoto end;

d9_Wide denotes an on-axis distance from an image-side surface of the fourth lens to an object-side surface of the fifth lens at the wide angle end;

d9_Tele denotes an on-axis distance from an image-side surface of the fourth lens to an object-side surface of the fifth lens at the telephoto end;

f1 denotes a focal length of the first lens; and

f2 denotes a focal length of the second lens.

2. The zoom lens according to claim 1 , wherein the zoom lens further satisfies a condition of:

where

d5_Wide denotes an on-axis distance from an image-side surface of the second lens to an object-side surface of the third lens at the wide angle end; and

d5_Tele denotes an on-axis distance from an image-side surface of the second lens to an object-side surface of the third lens at the telephoto end.

3. The zoom lens according to claim 1 , wherein the zoom lens further satisfies a condition of:

0.55 ≤d 7_Wide/ d 7_Tel≤0.75;  (5)

where

d7_Wide denotes an on-axis distance from an image-side surface of the third lens to an object-side surface of the fourth lens at the wide angle end; and

d7_Tele denotes an on-axis distance from an image-side surface of the third lens to an object-side surface of the fourth lens at the telephoto end.

4. The zoom lens according to claim 1 , wherein the zoom lens further satisfies a condition of:

−1.85≤ f 3 /f 2≤−1.20;  (7)

where

f2 denotes a focal length of the second lens; and

f3 denotes a focal length of the third lens.

5. The zoom lens according to claim 1 , wherein the zoom lens further satisfies a condition of:

2.00 ≤f 4 /f 2≤3.00;  (8)

where

f2 denotes a focal length of the second lens; and

f4 denotes a focal length of the fourth lens.

6. The zoom lens according to claim 1 , wherein the zoom lens further satisfies a condition of:

−5.00 ≤fG 5/ f 2≤−2.50; and  (9)

—3.10 ≤f 5 /f 6≤−2.00;  (10)

where

f2 denotes a focal length of the second lens;

fG5 denotes a combined focal length of the fifth lens group;

f5 denotes a focal length of the fifth lens; and

f6 denotes a focal length of the sixth lens.
