Abstract

Provided is a zoom lens, comprising, in order from an object side to an image side: first to fifth lens units having positive, negative, positive, positive, and negative refractive powers, respectively. During zooming, the first, third, and fifth lens units are immovable, and the second and fourth lens units are moved. The fifth lens unit includes a partial unit (L5n) having a negative refractive power, and a partial unit (L5p) having a positive refractive power. An entire lens length (TL), a focal length (ft) of an entire system at a telephoto end, a focal length (f2) of the second lens unit, a focal length (f4) of the fourth lens unit, and a focal length (f5n) of the partial unit (L5n) are set appropriately.
