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 refractive power, a third lens unit having a positive refractive power, a fourth lens unit having a positive refractive power, and a fifth lens unit having a negative refractive power. During zooming, each distance between adjacent lens units changes. During zooming from a wide-angle end to a telephoto end, the first lens unit moves toward the object side, a distance between the third lens unit and the fourth lens unit decreases, and a distance between the fourth lens unit and the fifth lens unit decreases. The number of optical elements each having a refractive power in the first lens unit is two or less. Predetermined conditions are satisfied.
