Abstract

First through third lens groups constituting a projection zoom lens can be configured as a zoom lens of the type in which the first and second lens groups, for example, are moved when zooming, and the first lens group, for example, is moved when focusing. Further, by fulfilling the conditional formula (1), it is possible to achieve that the back focus is prevented from becoming too short, and the back focus is prevented from becoming too long while ensuring the sufficient space on the reduction side, and the lens diameter on the reduction side is prevented from becoming too large in the case of adopting a roughly telecentric configuration on the reduction side.
