Abstract:
A zoom lens includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens unit having a positive refractive power, which does not move for zooming, a second lens unit having a negative refractive power, which moves during zooming, a third lens unit having a negative refractive power, which moves during zooming, an aperture stop, and a fourth lens unit having a positive refractive power, which does not move for zooming. The fourth lens unit includes a first lens sub-unit, a focal length conversion optical system configured to be inserted into or removed from an optical path, and a second lens sub-unit. A focal length of the second lens sub-unit, a distance from the aperture stop to a lens surface at the most object side of the second lens sub-unit, and an F-number of the entire zoom lens at a wide-angle end are appropriately set.
