ABSTRACT:
A zoom lens consists of, in order from its object side, a first lens group of negative refracting power, and a second lens group of positive refractive power. Zooming from a wide-angle end to a telephoto end is implemented by changing a distance between the respective lens groups. The first lens group consists of, in order from its object side, a front unit of negative refracting power, and a rear unit of negative refracting power. The front unit consists of, in order from its object side, a first lens that has negative refracting power, and a second lens with smaller refracting power than the first lens. The rear unit consists of, in order from its object side, a third lens of negative refracting power, a fourth lens of negative refracting power, and a fifth lens that has positive refracting power.
