Abstract
A zoom lens has, in succession from the object side, a first lens unit having positive refractive power, a second lens unit having negative refractive power, and a third lens unit having positive refractive power. The second and third lens units are moved to thereby effect zooming. When variations in the magnifications of the second and third lens units from the wide angle end to the telephoto end are Z.sub.2 and Z.sub.3, respectively, the zoom lens satisfies the condition that Z.sub.3 /Z.sub.2 >1.4. The zoom lens is compact and yet covers a wide angle range of an angle of view of 60.degree.-80.degree..
