Abstract
A projection lens is a zoom lens and formed of a first group to an N-th group sequentially arranged from an image enlargement side (that is, screen side), where N is 6 or 7. The first group includes a first A group and a first B group sequentially arranged from the image enlargement side. The first A group is formed of two positive lenses, and the first B group is formed of a cemented lens formed of a positive lens and a negative lens. The second group includes at least two negative lenses. In magnification changing action, at least the first group and the N-th group are fixed, and at least the third group to the (N−1)-th group are moved along an optical axis. In focusing action, the first A group on the image enlargement side in the first group is solely moved along the optical axis.
