Abstract

See full text

Provided is a zoom lens including a plurality of lens units, in which an interval between adjacent lens units changes during zooming. The zoom lens includes: a first lens subunit having a positive refractive power; a second lens subunit having a positive refractive power, which is arranged adjacent to an image side of the first lens subunit; and at least one lens unit on an object side of the first lens subunit. Lens systems arranged on the object side of the first lens subunit have a negative combined focal length over an entire zoom range. The second lens subunit moves along an optical axis to the image side during focusing from an object at infinity to a proximate object. A focal length of the first lens subunit and a focal length of the second lens subunit are appropriately set.
