A fourth lens group of a four-lens group zoom lens includes, in order from an object side, a single positive lens having aspheric surfaces on both sides, and a cemented lens formed of a negative lens and a positive meniscus lens having a convex surface directed to the object side. The object-side surface of the positive single lens is convex and has a stronger refractive power. The cemented lens has a negative refractive power as a whole. The following conditional expressions are satisfied: 0.04
