Abstract

The zoom lens includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens unit having a negative refractive power, a second lens unit having a positive refractive power, a middle group including two or more lens units, and a rear group including one or more lens units and having a positive refractive power. The first lens unit does not move for zooming. During zooming, the second lens unit moves and a distance between each adjacent lens units changes. In all lens units of the zoom lens, during zooming the second lens unit moves by a largest moving amount and has a largest zooming ratio between a wide-angle end and a telephoto end. Predetermined conditions are satisfied.
