Abstract

A zoom lens includes, from an object side to an image side, a positive first lens unit configured not to move for zooming, at least three movable lens units configured to move for zooming, and a positive final lens unit closest to the image side in lens units and configured not to move for zooming. In the at least three movable lens units, a lens unit closest to the image side has a positive power, and a lens unit second closest to the image side has a negative power. The first lens unit includes a first sub unit closest to the object side and configured not to move for focusing and a second sub unit configured to move for focusing. The final lens unit includes a positive lens closest to the image side in elements having a refractive power in the final lens unit. Predetermined inequalities are satisfied.
