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 plurality of zooming lens units configured to move along an optical axis in zooming and including a lens unit having a negative refractive power, and a final lens unit having a positive refractive power. A distance between each pair of adjacent lens units changes in zooming. The first lens unit includes, in order from the object side to the image side, a first subunit having a negative refractive power, a second subunit having a negative refractive power, and at least one subsequent subunit, a distance between each pair of adjacent subunits changing for focusing. The second subunit is configured to move along the optical axis for focusing. A predetermined condition is satisfied.
