Abstract
An optical system includes a front lens unit, a first focus lens unit disposed on an image side of the front lens unit, and a second focus lens unit disposed on the image side of the first focus lens unit. A distance between adjacent lens units changes during focusing. The front lens unit includes two or more negative lenses. For focusing, the front lens unit does not move, but the first focus lens unit and the second focus lens unit move. The optical system can provide focusing from an in-focus state on an object at infinity to an in-focus state in which lateral magnification β of the optical system is −1.0 or less. A predetermined inequality is satisfied.

An optical system comprising:
- a front lens unit;
- a first focus lens unit disposed on an image side of the front lens unit;
- and
- a second focus lens unit disposed on the image side of the first focus lens unit,
- wherein a distance between adjacent lens units changes during focusing,
- wherein the front lens unit includes two or more negative lenses,
- wherein for focusing, the front lens unit does not move, but the first focus lens unit and the second focus lens unit move,
- wherein the optical system can provide focusing from an in-focus state on an object at infinity to an in-focus state in which lateral magnification β of the optical system is −1.0 or less, and wherein the following inequality is satisfied:

An image pickup apparatus comprising:
- an optical system;
- and
- an image sensor configured to capture an image of an object through the optical system,
- wherein the optical system includes:
- a front lens unit;
- a first focus lens unit disposed on an image side of the front lens unit;
- and
- a second focus lens unit disposed on the image side of the first focus lens unit,
- wherein a distance between adjacent lens units changes during focusing,
- wherein the front lens unit includes two or more negative lenses,
- wherein for focusing, the front lens unit does not move, but the first focus lens unit and the second focus lens unit move,
- wherein the optical system can provide focusing from an in-focus state on an object at infinity to an in-focus state in which lateral magnification β of the optical system is −1.0 or less, and
