Abstract:
A zoom optical system includes a negative first lens group having a first deflection optical element, a positive second lens group, a positive third lens group, a positive fourth lens group, and a second deflection optical element, in that order from the object side. The first lens group is provided at a fixed position relative to an imaging plane. Zooming is performed by moving at least the second and third lens groups so that distances between adjacent lens groups of the first through fourth lens groups change. The third lens group is a focusing lens group which moves along the optical axis during focusing. The following condition (1) is satisfied: 0.2

Abstract:
An imaging optical system includes a positive or negative first lens group including a negative lens element closest to the object, a diaphragm, and a positive second lens group. The negative lens element closest to the object has an object-side aspherical surface including a paraxial convex surface, a paraxial curvature that is the greatest within the effective aperture, and a portion within the effective aperture having a curvature less than ½ of the paraxial curvature. These conditions are satisfied: R1/f 0.4 −2.5 56 “f” designates the overall focal length; f1, R1 and D1 respectively designate the focal length, paraxial radius of curvature of an object-side surface, and thickness, of the negative lens element closest to the object; and V designates the Abbe number regarding the d-line of a lens element, within the second lens group, closest to the diaphragm.
Abstract:
An imaging optical system includes a positive or negative first lens group, a diaphragm and a positive second lens group. The first lens group includes a positive lens element, provided closest to the object side, that has an aspherical surface on the object side thereof, the aspherical surface including a paraxial convex surface convexing toward the object side. This aspherical surface has a curvature that is positive along a meridional cross-section at the paraxial portion thereof, and the curvature of the meridional cross-section changes from a positive value to a negative value in an area within 75% of an effective aperture from the paraxial portion toward the periphery of the aspherical surface.
Abstract:
An imaging optical system includes a front lens group including a front lens element and a reflector element which reflects a light bundle that exits from the front lens element; and a rear lens group on the image side of the front lens group. The front lens element is a spherically-swingable lens group which suppresses image shake by spherically-swinging about a predetermined spherical-swing center in accordance with vibrations applied to the imaging optical system. The following conditions (1) and (2) are satisfied: νd>58 (1), and f/y>3 (2), wherein νd designates the Abbe number with respect to the d-line of at least one lens element of the spherically-swingable lens group, f designates the focal length of the imaging optical system, in a state where the focal length is at a maximum, and y designates the maximum image height of the imaging plane.
