Abstract

See full text

A zoom lens includes, from the object side to the image side, first to sixth lens units having positive, negative, positive, negative, positive, negative refracting powers. In zooming from the wide angle end to the telephoto end, the lens units are moved such that the distance between the first and second lens units increases, the distance between the second and third lens units decreases, the distance between the third and fourth lens units increases, and the distance between the fourth and fifth lens units decreases. In focusing from an infinitely distant object to a near object, the sixth lens unit is moved toward the image side. The distance between the rear principal point of the second lens unit and the front principal point of the rear lens group at the wide angle end, and the focal length of the rear lens group at the wide angle end are appropriately set.
