ABSTRACT:
An autofocusing zoom lens, comprising a half-mirror prism and a sensor capable of detecting light in conjunction with the half-mirror prism, is formed by inserting the half-mirror prism between the front-lens and rear-lens groups of the master-lens groups of the lens system. The insertion of the half-mirror prism has the advantages that the back focus may be shortened, the lens aperture need not be enlarged, and that the lens length in effect may be shortened. Additional use of a sensor-related lens makes autofocus available even when the angle of exit pupil of the imaging optical system is small.
