Abstract:
A zoom optical system ZL comprises, in order from an object: a first lens group (G1) having a positive refractive power; a second lens group (G2) having a negative refractive power; a third lens group (G3) having a positive refractive power; and a subsequent lens group (GR), wherein upon zooming, distances between the lens groups change, the subsequent lens group (GR) comprises a focusing lens group that moves upon focusing, and conditional expressions 0.18
