Abstract

A zoom lens includes a first lens group having a positive refractive power, a second lens group having a negative refractive power, a third lens group having a positive refractive power, and a fourth lens group having a positive refractive power. The fourth lens group includes a first sub-lens group having a positive refractive power, a second sub-lens group having a negative refractive power, and a third sub-lens group. During zooming from a wide-angle end to a telephoto end, the first lens group and the first and third sub-lens groups are stationary in an optical axis direction relative to the image plane, the second and third lens groups move in the optical axis direction, and the second sub-lens group moves in the direction of the optical axis. During focusing from an infinite-distance object to a close-range object, the second sub-lens group moves in the optical axis direction.
