Abstract

A zoom lens includes a first lens group, a second lens group and a third lens group, all of which are arranged in sequence from an object side to an image side along an optical axis. The first lens group is with negative refractive power and includes a first lens, a second lens and a third lens, wherein the first lens is with negative refractive power, the second lens is with positive refractive power and the third lens is with negative refractive power. The second lens group is with positive refractive power. The third lens group is with positive refractive power. The third lens satisfies |R 31 /R 32 |≦0.39, wherein R 31 is a radius of curvature of an object side surface of the third lens and R 32 is a radius of curvature of an image side surface of the third lens.

Claims (39)

1. A zoom lens comprising a first lens group, a second lens group and a third lens group, all of which are arranged in sequence from an object side to an image side along an optical axis, wherein:

the first lens group is with negative refractive power and comprises a first lens, a second lens and a third lens, all of which are arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side along the optical axis, wherein the first lens is with negative refractive power, the second lens is with positive refractive power and the third lens is with negative refractive power;

the second lens group is with positive refractive power;

the third lens group is with positive refractive power; and

the third lens satisfies |R 31 /R 32 |≦0.39, wherein R 31 is a radius of curvature of an object side surface of the third lens and R 32 is a radius of curvature of an image side surface of the third lens.

2. The zoom lens as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second lens group is moved toward the object side, the first lens group is moved toward the image side and then toward the object side so that an interval between the first lens group and the second lens group decreases, and the third lens group is moved, when the zoom lens zooms from a wide-angle end to a telephoto end.

3. The zoom lens as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first lens group, the second lens group, the third lens group and the fourth lens satisfy:

0.30≦( f G1 ×f G2 )/( f 3 ×f 4 )≦0.75

wherein f G1 is an effective focal length of the first lens group, f G2 is an effective focal length of the second lens group, f 3 is an effective focal length of the third lens and f 4 is an effective focal length of the fourth lens.

4. The zoom lens as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first lens group and the second lens group satisfy:

1.24≦| f G1 /f G2 |≦1.27

wherein f G1 is an effective focal length of the first lens group and f G2 is an effective focal length of the second lens group.

5. The zoom lens as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the zoom lens satisfies:

1.66≦( f w ×L T )/( f T ×Y )≦3.08

wherein f w is an effective focal length of the zoom lens at a wide-angle end, f T is an effective focal length of the zoom lens at a telephoto end, Y is a largest image height at the image plane and L T is a lens length of the zoom lens at the telephoto end.

6. The zoom lens as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first lens is a convex-concave lens and comprises a convex surface facing the object side, the second lens is a biconvex lens and the third lens is a concave-convex lens and comprises a concave surface facing the object side.

7. The zoom lens as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the third lens comprises two surfaces, at least one of which is an aspheric surface or both of which are aspheric surfaces.

8. The zoom lens as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the first lens comprises two surfaces, at least one of which is an aspheric surface or both of which are aspheric surfaces.

9. The zoom lens as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second lens group comprises a fourth lens, a fifth lens and a sixth lens, all of which are arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side along the optical axis.

10. The zoom lens as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the fourth lens is with positive refractive power, the fifth lens is with positive refractive power and the sixth lens is with negative refractive power.

11. The zoom lens as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the fourth lens is a biconvex lens and the fifth lens is a biconvex lens.

12. The zoom lens as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the sixth lens comprises two surfaces, at least one of which is an aspheric surface or both of which are aspheric surfaces.

13. The zoom lens as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least a surface of the first lens group is an aspheric surface and at least two surfaces of the second lens group are aspheric surfaces.

14. The zoom lens as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the third lens group comprises a seventh lens, the seventh lens is a biconvex lens and comprises two surfaces, at least one of which is an aspheric surface or both of which are aspheric surfaces, and the seventh lens is moved toward the object side when the zoom lens focuses in short distance photography.

15. The zoom lens as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a stop disposed between the first lens group and the second lens group, wherein an interval between the stop and the second lens group is stationary.

16. A zoom lens comprising a first lens group, a second lens group and a third lens group, all of which are arranged in sequence from an object side to an image side along an optical axis, wherein:

the first lens group is with negative refractive power and comprises a first lens, a second lens and a third lens, all of which are arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side along the optical axis, wherein the first lens is with negative refractive power, the second lens is with positive refractive power and the third lens is with negative refractive power;

the second lens group is with positive refractive power and comprises a fourth from the object side to the image side along the optical axis, wherein the sixth lens is with negative refractive power; and

the third lens group is with positive refractive power.

17. The zoom lens as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the third lens satisfies |R 31 /R 32 |≦0.39, wherein R 31 is a radius of curvature of an object side surface of the third lens and R 32 is a radius of curvature of an image side surface of the third lens.
