Abstract
A zoom lens includes, from an object side a first lens unit (a positive refractive power) configured not to move for zooming, two or more intermediate lens units configured to move in zooming, and a rear lens unit (a positive refractive power), wherein an interval between each pair of adjacent lens units changes in zooming, the first lens unit includes, from the object side, a first lens subunit (a negative refractive power) configured not to move for focusing, a second lens subunit (a positive refractive power) configured to move for focusing, and a third lens subunit (a positive refractive power), the zoom lens satisfies specific inequalities concerning a focal length of the first lens unit, a length on an optical axis from a last surface to a rear principal point of the first lens unit, and a focal length of the zoom lens at a telephoto end.
