    Abstract: A variable power optical system (ZL (1)) includes a plurality of lens groups (G1-G7). During variable magnification, an interval between adjacent lens groups changes. The plurality of lens groups include: a first focusing lens group (G5) that moves during focusing; and a second focusing lens group (G6) that is disposed more toward an imaging surface side than the first focusing lens group and that moves along a different trajectory than the first focusing lens group during focusing. The first focusing lens group and the second focusing lens group both have a negative refractive power. The plurality of lens groups satisfy the following condition: 0.40

    Abstract: A zoom optical system comprises, in order from an object: a front lens group (GFS) having a positive refractive power; an M1 lens group (GM1) having a negative refractive power; an M2 lens group (GM2) having a positive refractive power; an RN lens group (GRN) having a negative refractive power; and a subsequent lens group (GRS). Upon zooming, the distance between the front lens group (GFS) and the M1 lens group (GM1) changes, the distance between the M1 lens group (GM1) and the M2 lens group (GM2) changes, and the distance between the M2 lens group (GM2) and the RN lens group (GRN) changes. Upon focusing from an infinite distant object to a short distant object, the RN lens group (GRN) moves.
