Abstract

An imaging lens satisfies the following conditional expression (1) and is configured by disposing a first lens group that has a positive refractive power, an aperture stop, and a second lens group that has a positive refractive power in order from an object side to an image side. The first and second lens groups are moved from the image side to the object side in a state in which a gap between the lens groups is constant on an optical axis when a subject distance changes from infinity to approach, and the second lens group is configured by at least two negative lenses and at least three positive lenses. 0.01< f 2/ f 1<0.23  (1) where, f1: focal length of the first lens group when focused on an object at infinity f2: focal length of the second lens group when focused on an object at infinity.

Claims (40)

1. An imaging lens that satisfies the following conditional expression (1) and is configured by disposing a first lens group that has a positive refractive power, an aperture stop, and a second lens group that has a positive refractive power in order from an object side to an image side,

wherein the first lens group and the second lens group are moved from the image side to the object side in a state in which a gap between the lens groups is constant on an optical axis when a subject distance changes from infinity to approach, and

the second lens group is configured by at least two negative lenses and at least three positive lenses

0.01 <f 2 /f 1<0.23  (1)

where,

f1: focal length of the first lens group when focused on an object at infinity

f2: focal length of the second lens group when focused on an object at infinity.

2. The imaging lens according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second lens group is configured by an object side lens group that is a cemented lens having a negative refractive power, and an image side lens group that has a positive refractive power that are disposed in order from the object side to the image side.

3. The imaging lens according to claim 2 ,

wherein the object side lens group is configured by a negative lens and a positive lens that are disposed in order from the object side to the image side.

4. The imaging lens according to claim 2 ,

wherein the image side lens group is configured by two positive lenses and one negative lens.

5. The imaging lens according to claim 2 that satisfies the following conditional expression (2)

−6.0 <f 2 F/f 2<−1.0  (2)

where,

f2F: focal length of the object side lens group when focused on an object at infinity.

6. The imaging lens according to claim 1 ,

wherein at least one aspherical lens is included in the second lens group.

7. An imaging lens that is configured by disposing a first lens group that has a positive refractive power, an aperture stop, and a second lens group that has a positive refractive power in order from an object side to an image side,

wherein the first lens group and the second lens group are moved from the image side to the object side in a state in which a gap between the lens groups is constant on an optical axis when a subject distance changes from infinity to approach,

the second lens group is configured by an object side lens group that is a cemented lens having a negative refractive power, and an image side lens group that has a positive refractive power that are disposed in order from the object side to the image side, and

the image side lens group is configured by two positive lenses and one negative lens.

8. An imaging device comprising:

an imaging lens; and

an imaging element that converts an optical image formed by the imaging lens into an electrical signal,

wherein the imaging lens satisfies the following conditional expression (1), and is configured by disposing a first lens group that has a positive refractive power, an aperture stop, and a second lens group that has a positive refractive power in order from an object side to an image side,

the first lens group and the second lens group are moved from the image side to the object side in a state in which a gap between the lens groups is constant on an optical axis when a subject distance changes from infinity to approach, and

the second lens group is configured by at least two negative lenses and at least three positive lenses

0.01 <f 2 /f 1<0.23  (1)

where,

f1: focal length of the first lens group when focused on an object at infinity

f2: focal length of the second lens group when focused on an object at infinity.

9. An imaging device comprising:

an imaging lens; and

an imaging element that converts an optical image formed by the imaging lens into an electrical signal,

wherein the imaging lens is configured by disposing a first lens group that has a positive refractive power, an aperture stop, and a second lens group that has a positive refractive power in order from an object side to an image side,

the first lens group and the second lens group are moved from the image side to the object side in a state in which a gap between the lens groups is constant on an optical axis when a subject distance changes from infinity to approach,

the second lens group is configured by an object side lens group that is a cemented lens having a negative refractive power, and an image side lens group that has a positive refractive power that are disposed in order from the object side to the image side, and

the image side lens group is configured by two positive lenses and one negative lens.
