Abstract
An optical system includes a first lens unit having positive refractive power, a second lens unit having positive refractive power that is moved during focusing, and a third lens unit having negative refractive power that are arranged in order from an object side to an image side. A distance between adjacent lens units on an optical axis of the optical system is varied during focusing. The first lens unit consists of a diffractive optical element and a negative lens that are arranged in order from the object side to the image side. The negative lens has a meniscus shape in which a concave surface faces the object side.
