Abstract:
The invention relates to a zoom lens with an easily bendable optical path, which comprises a reduced number of lens element while having high optical specification. The zoom lens comprises a moving lens group B (G2) that has positive refracting power and moves only toward an object side of the zoom lens upon zooming from a wide-angle end to a telephoto end of the zoom lens, a lens group A (G1) that is located on the object side with respect to the moving lens group B, has negative refracting power and remains fixed during the zooming, and a third lens group C (G3) that is located on an image side of the zoom lens with respect to the moving lens group B and moves in a locus different from that of the moving lens group B during the zooming. The lens group A that remains fixed during zooming comprises, in order from an object side thereof, a negative lens element, a reflective optical element and a positive lens element having an absolute value of refracting power smaller than that of the negative lens element.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make a suitable selection from zoom modes and lens elements so thin that the total thickness of each lens group can be reduced, thereby slimming down a zoom lens with great thoroughness, and, hence, an electronic imaging device. SOLUTION: The zoom lens comprises, in order from an object side, a first lens group G1 comprising two lenses and having generally negative power and a second lens group G2 comprising two lenses and having generally positive power. The focal length of all the groups can be varied by varying the air separation between the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2. The zoom lens should satisfy (1) and (2). The electronic imaging device has the zoom lens and an electronic imaging element located on the image plane side of the zoom lens. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
