Abstract
A partial lens unit St includes one or more positive lenses that are appropriately set based on a focal length f1 of a first lens unit, a focal length f2 of a second lens unit, an overall lens length L, a focal length f of an imaging optical system of when focused on an infinite-distance object, a focal length fPi of an i-th positive lens in an i-th position, among the positive lenses, counted in order from an object side to an image side, an Abbe number and an anomalous partial dispersion ratio difference νdPi and ΔθgFPi of a material for the i-th positive lens, and the total number n of the positive lenses included in the one or more partial lens units St.
Claims8
An imaging optical system comprising, in order from an object side to an image side,
- a first lens unit which has a positive refractive power,
- a second lens unit which has a negative refractive power and moves in an optical axis direction in focusing,
- a third lens unit which has a positive or a negative refractive power, and
- an aperture stop arranged in a position closer to the image side than the first lens unit,
- wherein the third lens unit includes one or more partial lens units which are immovable during focusing and during image blur correction, each having a positive or a negative refractive power,
- wherein each of the one or more partial lens units includes one or more positive lenses, and
- wherein the following conditional expressions are satisfied:
- −2.5<f1/f2<−1,
- 3.0<f2/(f1×L)<8.0, and
