Abstract
An internal focusing lens includes sequentially from an object side, a first lens group having a positive refractive power; a second lens group having a negative refractive power; and a third lens group having a positive refractive power. During focusing, the second lens group is moved along the optical axis and, the first lens group and the third lens group are fixed. The internal focusing lens satisfies a conditional expression (1) 0.31<f1/f<0.58, where f1 is the focal length of the first lens group and f is the focal length of the entire optical system, at infinity focus.
