Abstract
A zoom lens includes positive first, negative second, positive third units, and rear group. An interval between first and second units is larger and that between second and third units is smaller at telephoto end (TE) than at wide angle end. Second unit or a negative sub-unit corresponding to a part of second unit serves as first image stabilizing (IS) unit moving during image blur correction in a direction having a component in a direction perpendicular to optical axis. A negative sub-unit corresponding to a part of third unit or a negative unit included in rear group serves as second IS unit. A distance from a surface closest to object side of first IS unit to image plane at TE, a distance from a surface closest to object side of second IS unit to image plane at TE, and focal length of the zoom lens at TE are appropriately set.
