Abstract

An image blur compensating telephotographic lens has four lens groups. The four lens groups comprise a first lens group having a positive power, a second lens group having a negative power, a third lens group having a positive power, and a fourth lens group having a negative power arranged in this order from an object side. In one embodiment, the telephotographic lens has a lens moving mechanism for moving the second lens group in a direction vertical to the optical axis in order to compensate for an image blur when a photograph is taken. In another embodiment, the telephotographic lens has a lens moving mechanism for moving the third lens group in a direction vertical to the optical axis in order to compensate for an image blur when a photograph is taken.
