ABSTRACT:
A zoom lens includes a first lens group having a positive focal length, a second lens group having a negative focal length, a third lens group having a positive focal length, a fourth lens group having a negative focal length which are arranged in order from an object side to an image side, and a diaphragm disposed between the second and third lens groups. During a change of zoom ratio from short to long focus end, the first to fourth lens groups move so that an interval between the first and second lens groups increases, an interval between the second and third lens groups decreases, and an interval between the third and fourth lens groups increases. The first lens group includes first and second negative lenses, a reflective optical element, and at least one positive lens arranged in order from the object side to the image side.
