Abstract

A zoom lens includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens unit having a positive refractive power, a second lens unit having a negative refractive power, and a subsequent unit having a positive refractive power as a whole. A distance between adjacent lens units changes during zooming. The first lens unit includes a single lens, and the subsequent unit includes a third lens unit having a positive refractive power closest to the object side in the subsequent unit and a lens unit LP having a positive refractive power closest to the image side among the zoom lenses. During zooming from a wide-angle end to a telephoto end, the second lens unit moves toward the object side. A predetermined condition is satisfied.
