Abstract

The imaging lens consists of, in order from an object side, a first lens group having a negative refractive power, a second lens group having a positive refractive power, and a third lens group having a negative refractive power, and is configured such that, during focusing, the first lens group and the third lens group remain stationary with respect to an image plane, the second lens group moves in the direction of an optical axis, the first lens group includes a first-a negative lens and a first-b negative lens successively in order from a position closest to the object side, and that the second lens group includes an aperture stop that moves integrally with the second lens group during focusing.

Claims (32)

1. An imaging lens comprising, in order from an object side:

a first lens group having a negative refractive power;

a second lens group having a positive refractive power; and

a third lens group having a negative refractive power,

wherein during focusing, the first lens group and the third lens group remain stationary with respect to an image plane, and the second lens group moves in a direction of an optical axis,

the second lens group includes a stop that moves integrally with the second lens group during focusing, and

the imaging lens is a fixed focal point optical system.

2. The imaging lens according to claim 1 ,

wherein a surface of the second lens group closest to the object side has a shape convex toward the object side.

3. The imaging lens according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first lens group includes a positive lens at a position closest to an image side.

4. The imaging lens according to claim 1 ,

wherein in a case where a curvature radius of a surface of the second lens group closest to the object side is set to R2g1, and a focal length of the first lens group is set to f1, the following Conditional Expression (3) is satisfied,

−1.2< R 2 g 1/ f 1<−0.1  (3).

5. The imaging lens according to claim 1 ,

wherein in a case where a composite focal length of lenses toward the object side from the stop in the second lens group is set to f2gf, and a composite focal length of lenses toward an image side from the stop in the second lens group is set to f2 gr, the following Conditional Expression (4) is satisfied,

0.4< f 2 gf/f 2 gr< 1.5  (4).

6. The imaging lens according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second lens group includes a positive lens at a position closest to the object side.

7. The imaging lens according to claim 1 ,

wherein a configuration of the second lens group toward the object side from the stop consists of a positive lens, a positive lens, and a negative lens in order from the object side.

8. The imaging lens according to claim 1 ,

wherein a configuration of the second lens group toward an image side from the stop consists of a negative lens, a positive lens, and a positive lens in order from the object side.

9. The imaging lens according to claim 1 ,

wherein the third lens group consists of a positive lens and a negative lens in order from the object side.

10. The imaging lens according to claim 4 ,

wherein the following Conditional Expression (3-1) is satisfied,

−0.9< R 2 g 1/ f 1<−0.2  (3-1).

11. The imaging lens according to claim 5 ,

wherein the following Conditional Expression (4-1) is satisfied,

0.5< f 2 gf/f 2 gr< 1.3  (4-1).

12. An imaging apparatus comprising the imaging lens according to claim 1 .
