Abstract

A zoom lens consists of, in order from an object, a first lens group having a negative refractive power, a second lens group having a positive refractive power, a third lens group having a negative refractive power, and a fourth lens group having a positive refractive power. Zooming is performed by changing respective distances between the first and second lens groups, the second and third lens groups, and the third and fourth lens groups. The first lens group consists of, in order from an object, a negative lens, a negative lens and a positive lens, the second lens group consists of five lenses, and the third lens group consists of a bi-concave negative lens.
