Abstract
A zoom lens includes a plurality of lens units, in which a distance between adjacent lens units changes during zooming, a first aperture stop, and a second aperture stop disposed on an image side of the first aperture stop. An aperture diameter of the first aperture stop determines an F-number of the zoom lens at a wide-angle end. The plurality of lens units includes a negative lens unit having a negative refractive power that is disposed on the image side of the first aperture stop and on an object side of the second aperture. An aperture diameter of the second aperture stop changes during the zooming. The aperture diameter of the second aperture stop at the wide-angle end is larger than the aperture diameter of the second aperture stop at a telephoto end.
