Abstract
The zoom lens consists of, in order from an object side, a first lens group that has a positive refractive power, a second lens group that has a negative refractive power, a middle group that includes one or more lens groups, and a final lens group. The middle group has a positive refractive power as a whole throughout an entire zoom range. During zooming, a spacing between the first lens group and the second lens group changes, a spacing between the second lens group and the middle group changes, and a spacing between the middle group and the final lens group changes. The zoom lens satisfies predetermined conditional expressions.
