Zoom lens and imaging apparatus

A zoom lens comprising:

• only four lens groups consisting of a first lens group having a positive refractive power, a second lens group having a negative refractive power, a third lens group having a positive refractive power, and a fourth lens group having a positive refractive power in order from an object side to an image side as lens groups,
• wherein in a case of magnification, at least the first lens group, the second lens group, and the third lens group move along an optical axis by changing all intervals between adjacent lens groups in an optical axis direction,
• the third lens group consists of a third a lens group that is fixed with respect to an image plane in a case of image shake correction, a third b lens group that moves in a direction intersecting with the optical axis in the case of the image shake correction, and a third c lens group that is fixed with respect to the image plane in the case of the image shake correction in order from the object side to the image side,
• a stop is arranged between a lens surface of the second lens group closest to the image side and a lens surface of the third c lens group closest to the image side,
• the third b lens group consists of one positive lens and one negative lens,
• in a case where a thickness of the positive lens of the third b lens group on the optical axis is denoted by D3 bp, and a thickness of the negative lens of the third b lens group on the optical axis is denoted by D3bn, Conditional Expression (1) represented by
• 0.2<D3bp/D3bn<2 (1)
• is satisfied,
• a lens of the third c lens group closest to the image side is a meniscus lens that has a convex surface toward the image side and has a negative refractive power, and
• the fourth lens group consists of one positive lens.
