Abstract
A zoom lens, including, in order from object side: a positive first unit which is fixed during zooming; a negative second unit which moves for zooming; a positive third unit which moves for zooming; a positive fourth unit which moves for zooming; and a positive fifth unit which is fixed during zooming, in which 1.50<LN(Z)/LN(Z)<2.30 and 0.70<f<0.96 are satisfied, where LN(Z) is natural logarithm of Zobtained by dividing a lateral magnification βof the second unit at telephoto end by a lateral magnification βat wide angle end, LN(Z) is natural logarithm of Zobtained by dividing a combined lateral magnification βof the third unit and the fourth unit at telephoto end by a combined lateral magnification βat wide angle end, and fand fare combined focal lengths of the third unit and the fourth unit at wide angle end and telephoto end, respectively.
