Abstract:
A zoom lens includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens unit having positive refractive power, a second lens unit having negative refractive power, a third lens unit having positive refractive power, and a rear lens group including a lens unit having negative refractive power arranged along an optical axis thereof. A focal length fw of the zoom lens at a wide-angle end, a focal length ft of the zoom lens at a telephoto end, an amount of movement M1 of the first lens unit on the optical axis in zooming from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, and a focal length frn of a lens unit Lrn that is a lens unit having a shortest focal length among lens units having negative refractive power included in the rear lens group are appropriately set based on predetermined mathematical conditions.
