Abstract

An optical system includes, in order from an object side, a first lens group having positive refractive power, a second lens group having negative refractive power, and a third lens group having positive refractive power. The second lens group is moved upon carrying out focusing from an infinitely distant object to a close object, at least a portion of the third lens group is moved in a direction including a component perpendicular to an optical axis, and given conditional expressions is satisfied. Accordingly, an optical system excellently suppressing variations in aberrations generated upon vibration reduction, an optical apparatus equipped therewith, and a method for manufacturing the optical system are provided.
