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 second lens unit having a negative power, and a rear unit having a positive refractive power as a whole and including one or more lens units. A distance between adjacent lens units changes during zooming. The first lens unit includes a first subunit having a positive refractive power and a second subunit disposed on the image side of the first subunit. The first subunit includes a first positive lens having the smallest absolute value of a focal length among lenses included in the first subunit. The second subunit includes a second positive lens and a first negative lens having the smallest absolute value of a focal length among negative lenses included in the second subunit. A predetermined condition is satisfied.
