Zoom lens and image projection apparatus

An image projection apparatus comprising:

• a light modulation element configured to modulate light from a light source;
• and
• a zoom lens,
• wherein the zoom lens comprising:
• a stop;
• at least three front side movable lens units that are disposed on an enlargement conjugate side further than the stop and are movable for variation of magnification;
• and
• a front side fixed lens unit that is disposed on the enlargement conjugate side further than the at least three front side movable lens units and that is fixed for the variation of magnification,
• wherein the at least three front side movable lens units include:
• two movable lens units as first front side movable lens units that are movable to the enlargement conjugate side for variation of magnification from a wide-angle end to a telephoto end;
• and
• one movable lens unit as a second front side movable lens unit that is disposed on the reduction conjugate side further than the first front side movable lens units and that is movable to the reduction conjugate side for the variation of magnification from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end.
