Abstract

A high range zoom lens is disclosed, comprising, from front to rear, a first lens unit of positive refractive power, a second lens unit of negative refractive power, a third lens unit of positive or negative refractive power and a fourth lens unit of positive refractive power, the second and third lens units being movable for zooming, wherein an aspheric surface is introduced into the second or third lens unit at a specified location so that the variation of aberrations with zooming is as far reduced for high performance as possible.
