A zoom lens includes a first lens unit having negative refractive power, a second lens unit having positive refractive power, an intermediate unit including one or more lens units, and a final lens unit having positive refractive power disposed closest to the image side. The first lens unit includes negative lenses G1, G2 and G3 disposed in this order from an object side to an image side. The final lens unit includes at least one negative lens and a positive lens disposed closest to the image side. The zoom lens satisfies predetermined inequalities.

The variable magnification optical system consists of a front group, a middle group, and a rear group, in order from an object side. The front group consists of two or fewer lens groups and has a negative refractive power. The middle group includes only one lens group that has a positive refractive power as a lens group. The rear group consists of three or less lens groups. An aperture stop is disposed between a lens surface closest to an image side in the front group and a lens surface closest to the object side in the rear group. The front group includes at least three negative lenses and at least one positive lens. A negative meniscus lens convex toward the object side is disposed closest to the object side in the front group. The variable magnification optical system satisfies predetermined conditional expressions.

A zoom lens L0 includes a first lens group L1 and a rear group LR disposed in order from an object side to an image side, the first lens group L1 having a negative refractive power and the rear group LR having a positive refractive power as a whole. The rear group LR includes a partial group LP, a partial group LN, and two or more lens groups between which distances change in zooming. When image blur is corrected, the partial group LN moves in a direction including a component of a direction perpendicular to an optical axis. A lens surface closest to the object side among lens surfaces of the partial group LN and a lens surface closest to the image side among the lens surfaces of the partial group LN are both concave surfaces.

A zoom lens includes a first lens unit having negative refractive power, a second lens unit having positive refractive power, and a rear lens group including one or more lens units.

A zoom lens includes a first lens unit having a negative refractive power, a second lens unit having a positive refractive power, and two or more additional lens units. In zooming, the first lens unit moves, and an interval between adjacent lens units changes. The refractive index of a negative lens A disposed on a most object side of negative lenses included in the first lens unit is higher than or equal to 1.89, and the negative lens A and a lens B disposed adjacent to an image side of the negative lens A satisfy a predetermined relationship.

A zoom lens includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens unit having a negative refractive power, and a rear unit having a positive refractive power as a whole.

The first lens unit includes, in order from the object side to the image side, three or more negative lenses. A predetermined condition is satisfied.

A zoom lens includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens unit having a negative refractive power, a second lens unit having a positive refractive power, a third lens unit having a negative refractive power, a fourth lens unit having a negative refractive power, and a rear lens unit having a positive refractive power and disposed closest to an image plane. During zooming from a wide-angle end to a telephoto end, the second lens unit moves to the object side, and each distance between adjacent lens units changes. A predetermined condition is satisfied.
