ABSTRACT:
A zoom lens includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens unit of positive refractive power, a second lens unit of negative refractive power arranged to move during variation of magnification, a third lens unit arranged to compensate for shift of an image plane due to the variation of magnification, and a fourth lens unit of positive refractive power, wherein the fourth lens unit has a first lens subunit of negative refractive power, and an image is displaced by moving the first lens subunit in such a way as to have a component perpendicular to an optical axis of the zoom lens.
