Patent ID: 7889438

Claim:
In a large-aperture zoom lens that has four of groups of lens pieces, including the leading or foremost 1st lens group of positive refractivity, the succeeding 2nd lens group of negative refractivity, the 3rd lens group of positive refractivity, and the trailing 4th lens group of positive refractivity, as the zoom lens varies power from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, the 1st and 2nd lens groups split farther away from each other, the 2nd and 3rd lens groups come closer to each other, and the 3rd and 4th lens groups come closer to each other; the 3rd lens group includes the leading subset of the lens pieces of positive refractive power located closer to an object and the trailing subset of negative refractive power, and in order to compensate for tremors of user's hand(s) and vibrations of a camera and adjust an image formed, the trailing subset of the 3rd lens group alone are displaced in directions perpendicular to the optical axis; and the 4th lens group has its foremost lens piece shaped in concave lens on a surface closer to the object.
