Abstract
Provided is a zoom lens in which both higher-order components of distortion and lateral chromatic aberration are corrected in a retrofocus type optical system. The zoom lens includes, in order from a magnifying side, a first lens unit which is negative, a second lens unit which is positive, and a rear lens group which is positive. A solid material having high dispersion and high extraordinary dispersion is used for a negative lens included in the first lens unit to provide a suitable shape and refractive power.

A zoom lens, comprising, in order from a magnifying side:
- a first lens unit (L1) having a negative refractive power;
- a second lens unit (L2) having a positive refractive power;
- and
- a rear lens group, which includes multiple lens units and has a positive refractive power as a whole,
- wherein at least two lens units are moved for magnification,
- wherein the first lens unit (L1) includes a first lens having a negative refractive power, and
- wherein the following conditions are satisfied:
- 0.79<θgFNL−(1.0E−4×νdNL2−9.1E−3×νdNL)<1.00,
- 1.5<(R1+R2)/(R1−R2)<10.0, and
- 0.0005<|(ΔθgFNL·fw)/(νdNL·fNL)|<0.0020,
- where R1 and R2 indicate a magnifying side curvature radius and a reduction side curvature radius of the first lens, θgFNL indicates a partial dispersion ratio of the first lens with respect to a g-line and an F-line, νdNL indicates an Abbe number of the first lens, NNL indicates a refractive index of the first lens, and fNL indicates a focal length of the first lens, and
- where ΔθgFNL=θgFNL−(−0.001682×νdNL+0.6438).
