Abstract
A zoom lens includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first positive lens unit fixed for zooming, a second negative lens unit that moves during zooming, at least two lens units that move during zooming, a final positive lens unit disposed closest to an image plane and fixed for zooming, and an aperture stop disposed between a lens surface closest to the image plane of the second lens unit and a lens surface closest to an object of the final lens unit, configured to move during zooming, and located closer to the image plane at a telephoto end than at a wide-angle end. The first lens unit includes a sub-lens unit disposed closest to the object in the first lens unit and fixed for focusing, and a sub-lens unit configured to move for focusing. Predetermined inequalities are satisfied.
