Abstract
A first lens group includes a plano-concave and negative first lens, a catoptric element having a flat object side surface and a flat image side surface, and a first cemented lens, for example. Here, the first cemented lens includes a negative second lens and a positive third lens in order from an object side. A second lens group includes an aperture stop and a positive second cemented lens, for example. The second cemented lens includes a positive fourth lens, a negative fifth lens, and a positive sixth lens in order from the object side. A zoom lens satisfies a conditional expression 1.59<n<2.20, assuming that a value nindicates refractive index of the fourth lens on a side closest to an object in the second lens group.
