Patent ID: 10209498

Abstract:
A first lens group (G1) having positive refractive power, a front-side lens group (GX), an intermediate lens group (GM) having positive refractive power, and a rear-side lens group (GR) are arranged in order from an object side. The front-side lens group (GX) is composed of one or more lens groups and has a negative lens group At least part of the intermediate lens group (GM) is a focusing lens group (GF). The rear-side lens group (GR) is composed of one or more lens groups. Upon zooming, the first lens group (G1) is moved with respect to an image surface, a distance between the first lens group (G1) and the front-side lens group (GX) is changed, a distance between the front-side lens group (GX) and the intermediate lens group (GM) is changed, and a distance between the intermediate lens group (GM) and the rear-side lens group (GR) is changed.
