Abstract

A zoom lens includes a first lens unit Lhaving positive refractive power, a second lens unit Lhaving negative refractive power, and a rear lens group LB including a plurality of lens units and having positive refractive power. The rear lens group LB includes a lens unit LF configured to move during focusing and having negative refractive power, a lens unit LN disposed on the image side of the lens unit LF and having negative refractive power, and a lens unit LP disposed on the image side of the lens unit LN and having the largest positive refractive power among the lens units having positive refractive power. The lens units LP and LN move to the object side in a predetermined locus during zooming from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, and the lens units LP and LF satisfy a predetermined conditional expression.
