Abstract

An optical system includes, in order from an object side, a first lens unit of positive refractive power, a second lens unit of negative refractive power, the second lens unit being movable along an optical axis to effect focusing, and a third lens unit of positive refractive power, the third lens unit including, in order from the object side, a first lens subunit of positive refractive power, a second lens subunit of negative refractive power and a third lens subunit of positive refractive power, wherein the second lens subunit is movable in directions perpendicular to the optical axis to displace an image formed by the optical system.
