Abstract

The zoom lens according to the present invention consists of, in order from an object side to an image side, a positive first lens unit, a negative second lens unit, and a positive rear unit including at least four lens units. The second lens unit moves toward the object side during zooming from a wide angle end to a telephoto end, and an interval between each pair of adjacent lens units is changed during zooming. The rear unit includes a positive lens unit LP, which is arranged closest to the image side. Focal lengths of the zoom lens at the wide angle end and at the telephoto end, focal lengths of the first lens unit and the second lens unit, and a distance from the lens surface of the lens unit LP on the image side to an image plane at the telephoto end are each set appropriately.
