Abstract

A single focal length lens system includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens unit having positive optical power and a second lens unit including a lens element that moves in a direction of an optical axis with respect to an image surface in focusing from an infinity in-focus condition to a close-object in-focus condition. The first lens unit includes an aperture diaphragm and a lens element A located on the object side of the aperture diaphragm. A lens element B having positive optical power and a lens element C having negative optical power are located on the image side of the aperture diaphragm. Abbe numbers of the lens elements A, B, and C to the d-line and partial dispersion ratios of the lens elements A, B, and C for the g-line and the F-line satisfy a predetermined relation.

Claims (44)

1. A single focal length lens system comprising, in order from an object side to an image side;

a first lens unit having positive optical power; and

a second lens unit including a lens element that moves in a direction of an optical axis with respect to an image surface in focusing from an infinity in-focus condition to a close-object in-focus condition,

wherein the first lens unit includes an aperture diaphragm and a lens element A located on the object side of the aperture diaphragm,

a lens element B having positive optical power and a lens element C having negative optical power are located on the image side of the aperture diaphragm, and

the following conditions (1) to (3) are satisfied;

0.647< P g F A +0.0018 ×vd A <0.75   (1)

0.647< P g F B +0.0018 ×vd B <0.75   (2)

0.647< P g F C +0.0018 ×vd C <0.75   (3)

where

vd A ; an Abbe number of the lens element A to the d-line,

vd B : an Abbe number of the lens element B to the d-line,

vd C : an Abbe number of the lens element C to the d-line,

P g F A : a partial dispersion ratio of the lens element A for the g-line and the F-line,

P g F B : a partial dispersion ratio of the lens element B for the g-line and the F-line, and

P g F C : a partial dispersion ratio of the lens element C for the g-line and the F-line.

2. The single focal length lens system according to claim 1 , wherein the lens element B and the lens element C are disposed so as to be adjacent to each other in the direction of the optical axis.

3. The single focal length lens system according to claim 1 , wherein the lens element B satisfies the following condition (4):

−0.5<( R 1 B +R 2 B )/( R 1 B −R 2 B )<1.0   (4)

where

R1 B : a radius of curvature of a surface of the lens element B at the object side, and

R2 B : a radius of curvature of a surface of the lens element B at the image side.

4. The single focal length lens system according to claim 1 , wherein the lens element C satisfies the following condition (5):

0.2<( R 1 C +R 2 C )/( R 1 C −R 2 C )<3.0   (5)

where

R1 C : a radius of curvature of a surface of the lens element C at the object side, and

R2 C : a radius of curvature of a surface of the lens element C at the image side.

5. The single focal length lens system according to claim 1 , wherein the lens element B and the lens element C satisfy the following condition (6):

0.3 <|f B /f c |<2.5   (6)

where

f B : a focal length of the lens element B, and

f C : a focal length of the lens element C.

6. The single focal length lens system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second lens unit includes one lens element D having negative optical power, and satisfies the following condition (7);

0.2 <|f W /f D |<3.0   (7)

where

f W ; a focal length of an entire system in an infinity in-focus condition, and

f D : a focal length of the lens element D.

7. An interchangeable lens apparatus comprising;

the single focal length lens system according to claim 1 ; and

a lens mount section that is connectable to a camera body including an imaging device which receives an optical image formed by the single focal length lens system and converts the optical image into an electric image signal.

8. A camera system comprising;

an interchangeable lens apparatus including the single focal length lens system according to claim 1 ; and

a camera body that is detachably connected to the interchangeable lens apparatus through a camera mount section and includes an imaging device which receives an optical image formed by the single focal length lens system and converts the optical image into an electric image signal.
