ABSTRACT:
An imaging apparatus includes, a zoom lens and a field stop for determining the extent of an imaging field, arranged at an object side of the zoom lens. The zoom lens has in order from an object side, a first lens group having positive refracting power, a second lens group consisting of at least three lens elements and having positive refracting power, and the third lens group consisting of one single lens element and having negative refracting power. Zooming from a short focal length end to a long focal length end is performed by moving each of the lens groups to the object side, and the following conditions are satisfied:in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?3.0<ft/fwin-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?0.7<IH/fw<0.9in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?1.75<ft/fl—G1<2.5in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?2.8<fw/sk—w<4.1in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?where ft is the focal length of the long focal length end, fw is the focal length of the short focal length end, IH is the maximum image height, fl_G1is the composite focal length of the first lens group, and sk_w is the backfocus at the short focal length end.
