Abstract:
Provided is a small zoom lens having a high zoom ratio and easily designed to achieve favorable optical properties in an entire zooming range. A zoom lens includes, in order from object side to image side, a positive first unit, a negative second unit, an aperture stop, and a rear group including multiple units. Intervals between the adjacent units are changed during zooming. In the rear group, a positive lens unit is arranged on the most image side, and a negative lens unit is on the object side of the positive lens unit. The aperture stop not moving for zooming, but the second unit and the negative lens unit moving during zooming. Focal lengths of the second unit and the positive and negative lens units, and movement amounts of the second and negative lens units, respectively, during zooming from wide angle end to telephoto end are appropriately set.
