Abstract:
A zoom lens includes a focus lens group having a negative refractive power. The focus lens group is configured to move during focusing. In the zoom lens, a distance between lens groups arranged adjacent to each other changes for zooming and/or focusing. In the zoom lens, a positive lens group having a positive refractive power is provided. The positive lens group is arranged adjacent to the focus lens group on an image side thereof. The positive lens group moves during zooming. The focus lens group includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a positive lens and a negative lens. In the zoom lens, a curvature radius of an image-side surface of the positive lens included in the focus lens group and a curvature radius of an object-side surface of the negative lens included in the focus lens group are each set appropriately.
