A zoom lens includes, in order from an object side to an image plane side, a first lens group fixed to the image plane during zooming, having a positive refractive power, and including a single lens having a negative refractive power, an optical path change member for changing an optical path, and a positive lens group having a positive refractive power, which are arranged in order from the object side, a second lens group having a negative refractive power and including a negative lens group and a positive lens group which are arranged in order from the object side with an air gap, a third lens group fixed to the image plane during zooming and having a positive refractive power, and at least one lens group having a positive refractive power. The zoom lens satisfies the conditions the 1.4
