Abstract
A zoom lens L0 consists of a first lens unit L1 having negative refractive power, a middle group Lm including one or more lens units, and a last lens unit having positive refractive power. The first lens unit L1 includes a first negative lens, a second negative lens, and a third negative lens that are arranged sequentially in an order from an object side to an image side. The number of negative lenses included in the first lens unit L1 is four or less. The middle group Lm includes a plurality of cemented lenses each having a cemented surface that is convex toward the object side, and includes a lens element Ln that is disposed closest to the image side among lens elements having negative refractive power included in the middle group Lm. The zoom lens L0 satisfies a predetermined inequality.
