Abstract
An internal focus lens comprising 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. The second lens group is configured by a simple lens element and is moved along an optical axis to perform focusing. The internal focus lens satisfies condition expressions (1) 0.48<|f3|/f<0.73 and (2) 1.05<Fno×f1/f<1.42, where f3 is the focal length of the third lens group, f is the focal length of the entire optical system, f1 is the focal length of the first lens group, and Fno is the F number of the entire optical system.
