Abstract
The disclosed zoom lens includes, from front to rear, a magnification-power variable lens assembly which serves for zooming and an image forming lens assembly which is stationary during zooming. The image forming assembly has a lens component B of negative refractive power which is preceded by at least one lens component A movable for focusing and which is followed by at least one lens component C movable for focusing. This structure makes achievement of a compact form and good stability in aberration correction possible throughout the entire focusing range.
