Abstract
An optical system consists of, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens unit having a positive refractive power, a second lens unit having a positive refractive power, a third lens unit having a negative refractive power. A distance between adjacent lens units changes during focusing. The second lens unit moves during the focusing. The following conditional expression is satisfied: −0.20<f3/f<−0.05 where f is a focal length of the optical system focused on an object at infinity and f3 is a focal length of the third lens unit.
Claims19
An optical system comprising a plurality of lens units,
- wherein the plurality of lens units consist of, in order from an object side to an image side:
- a first lens unit having a positive refractive power;
- a second lens unit having a positive refractive power;
- and
- a third lens unit having a negative refractive power,
- wherein a distance between adjacent lens units changes during focusing,
- wherein the second lens unit moves during the focusing,
- wherein the third lens unit consists of, in order from an object side to an image side, a first partial unit, a second partial unit, and a third partial unit,
- wherein the second partial unit moves in a direction including a component orthogonal to an optical axis during image stabilization, and
- wherein the following conditional expression is satisfied:
- −0.20<f3/f<−0.05;
- and
- −4.00<(1−β3B)×β3C<−2.00,
- where f is a focal length of the optical system focused on an object at infinity and f3 is a focal length of the third lens unit, β3B is a lateral magnification of the second partial unit, and β3C is a lateral magnification of the third partial unit.
