Abstract
A zoom lens includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens unit having a negative refractive power, and a rear unit having a positive refractive power as a whole. A distance between the first lens unit and the rear unit is changed during zooming. The rear unit includes a subunit that is moved in a direction having a component of a direction orthogonal to an optical axis during image stabilization. The first lens unit includes, in order from the object side to the image side, three or more negative lenses. A predetermined condition is satisfied.
