Abstract
A photographic lens system including multiple lens units where at least a part of one of the multiple lens units is movable in a direction, which includes a vector component orthogonal to an optical axis, and where the photographic lens system can have a normal and image stabilizing mode.
Claims9
A photographic lens system comprising:
- a first lens unit including a lens component, the lens component having a negative optical power and being movable in a first direction which includes a vector component orthogonal to an optical axis;
- and
- a plurality of lens units movable during focusing from an infinite or distant object to a close-up object, the plurality of lens units being disposed on the image side of the first lens unit,
- wherein an image formed by the photographic lens system is displaced when the lens component moves in the first direction,
- wherein the photographic lens system is a fixed focal length lens system,
- wherein the first lens unit has a positive optical power,
- wherein the plurality of lens units movable during focusing includes a second lens unit having a negative optical power, a third lens unit having positive optical power and being disposed on the image side of the second lens unit, a fourth lens unit having a negative optical power and being disposed on the image side of the third lens unit, and
- wherein the second lens unit moves to the image side and the third lens unit moves to the object side when focusing from an infinite or a distant object to a close-up object.
