Abstract

A zoom lens consists of in order from an object side to an image side: a first lens unit having a positive refractive power and configured not to move for zooming; three or four moving lens units configured to move in zooming; an aperture stop; and one or two rear lens units including a rear lens unit closest to the object side and configured not to move for zooming. An interval between each pair of adjacent lens units is changed in zooming. The three or four moving lens units include a moving lens unit having a negative refractive power. The three or four moving lens units include a rear positive lens unit closest to the image side and having a positive refractive power. The first lens unit includes three positive lenses. Conditional expressions are satisfied by the zoom lens.
