Only the second lens group moves in the direction of the optical axis to perform focusing operations. The first lens group is constituted by, in order from the object side to the image side, a first lens group front group and a first lens group rear group. The first lens group front group is constituted by, in order from the object side to the image side, one positive lens and one negative lens, the first lens group rear group includes at least two negative lenses and at least three positive lenses. The second lens group is constituted by one or two positive lenses and one negative lens.
