Abstract

A variable magnification optical system includes: a first lens group having positive refractive power and arranged closest to an object; a negative lens group having negative refractive power; a positive lens group which has positive refractive power, which includes at least one lens that moves integrally with an aperture stop, and which is arranged closer to an image than the negative lens group; and a focusing group arranged between the negative lens group and the positive lens group. When varying magnification, distances between the first lens group and the negative lens group and between the negative lens group and the positive lens group are changed. When focusing, distances between the focusing group and a lens facing an object-side of the focusing group and between the focusing group and a lens facing an image-side of the focusing group are changed. A predetermined conditional expression is satisfied.
