ABSTRACT:
An apparatus has a zoom lens and an image pickup element disposed on the image side of the zoom lens that converts an optical image formed by the zoom lens into an electrical signal. The zoom lens includes, in order from the object side to the image side, a negative first lens unit, a negative second lens unit, a positive third lens unit, and a negative fourth lens unit. During zooming from the wide angle end to the telephoto end, the distance between the first lens unit and the second lens unit changes, the distance between the second lens unit and the third lens unit changes, and the distance between the third lens unit and the fourth lens unit changes, the distance between the second lens unit and the third lens unit being smaller at the telephoto end than at the wide angle end. The first lens unit includes a reflecting surface that deflects the optical path, and the zoom lens satisfies the following condition (1): −100<fg4/ihw<−2.5 (1).
