Abstract
A zoom lens consists of, in order from an object side, a focusing group, a zoom group, and a subsequent group. The focusing group consists of, in order from the object side, a front focusing group which does not move with respect to the image plane during zooming and focusing, a middle focusing group which consists of one or two positive lens groups each moving during focusing, and a rear focusing group which consists of a negative lens group moving during zooming and focusing. The rear focusing group has a zoom range in which the amount of movement during focusing changes in accordance with the zoom position and the rear focusing group moves to the image side during focusing from the object at infinity to the closest object. Predetermined conditional expressions relating to the amount of movement of the rear focusing group are satisfied.
