Application: Variable magnification optical system, optical device, and method for producing variable magnification optical system (Patent ID: US20240151952A1)

The patent filed by Nikon Corp. describes a variable magnification optical system that includes different lens groups arranged in a specific order. The system allows for zooming from wide-angle to telephoto states by adjusting the distances between the lens groups and moving the rear lens group towards the object side. Additionally, the system enables focusing from distant to close objects by moving the third lens group along the optical axis. A portion of the rear lens group serves as a vibration reduction lens group with negative refractive power, movable perpendicular to the optical axis. The patent also covers an optical apparatus equipped with this optical system and a method for manufacturing it.

The variable magnification optical system outlined in the patent includes specific conditional expressions that need to be satisfied for the distances between the lens groups and the movements of the second and third lens groups during zooming. Furthermore, the patent specifies the conditions for the vibration reduction lens group within the rear lens group, ensuring its effectiveness in reducing vibrations. The patent also details the construction of the lens groups, including the use of cemented and single lenses in the first lens group. Overall, the patent provides a comprehensive overview of the design, functionality, and manufacturing process of the variable magnification optical system developed by Nikon Corp.
