Abstract

The zoom lens includes, in order from object side to image side, a positive first lens unit (LU), a negative second LU, a positive third LU, and a rear lens group including at least one LU. The zoom lens further includes an aperture stop. A LU arranged on image side of aperture stop moves during zooming. The first LU consists of at least two positive lenses (TPL), and two negative lenses (TNL). An average partial dispersion ratio (APDR) of TNL, APDR of TPL having highest refractive powers of at least TPL, an average Abbe number (AAN) of TNL, AAN of TPL, larger one of Abbe numbers of TNL, smaller one of Abbe numbers of TPL, focal lengths of first and second LUs, a distance from an optical surface closest to object side to image plane, and a focal length of zoom lens at a telephoto end are each appropriately set.
