Abstract

A zoom lens includes a first lens group having positive refractive power, a second lens group having negative refractive power, and a rear group. The second lens group consists of a second sub-first lens group having positive or negative power, and a second sub-second lens group having negative power. The second sub-second lens group consists of, sequentially from the object side toward the image: a positive second-first lens component; a negative second-second lens component; and a negative second-third lens component. During zooming from a short focal length end to a long focal length end, a distance between the first lens group and the second lens group increases, and a distance between the second lens group and the rear group decreases. A part of the second lens group is movable in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis during correction of image blurring.
