Abstract
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 comprising:
- a first lens unit having a negative refractive power;
- a second lens unit having a positive refractive power;
- and
- a rear group including two or more lens units, wherein
- the first lens unit, the second lens unit, and the rear group are disposed in order from an object side toward an image side,
- in zooming, the first lens unit is arranged to move, and each interval between adjacent lens units changes,
- the rear group includes all lens units arranged on the image side of the second lens unit in the zoom lens,
- the second lens unit comprises a plurality of cemented lenses,
- a refractive index of a negative lens A disposed closest to an object, among negative lenses included in the first lens unit, is greater than or equal to 1.89, and
- the following inequalities are satisfied:

- where a radius of curvature of an image-side lens surface of the negative lens A is Ra, a radius of curvature of an object-side lens surface of a lens B disposed adjacent to the image side of the negative lens A is Rb, an air gap between the negative lens A and the lens B is Da, and an air gap between the lens B and a lens disposed adjacent to the image side of the lens B is Db.
