ABSTRACT:
A zoom lens having a four-unit lens construction with positive, negative, positive, and positive refractive powers. In an embodiment, the second lens unit is moved toward the image side during the magnification change from the wide angle end to the telephoto end, and the third lens unit is moved in a direction substantially orthogonal to the optical axis to effect image stabilization. The zoom lens satisfies the condition that .DELTA.Y=f.sub.4 /f.sub.3 .multidot..DELTA.S. In another embodiment, the first, third, and fourth lens units are moved toward the object side during the magnification change from the wide angle end to the telephoto end, and the second lens unit is moved in a direction substantially orthogonal to the optical axis to effect image stabilization. The zoom lens satisfies the condition that .DELTA.Y=(1-.beta..sub.2).multidot..beta..sub.34 .multidot..DELTA.S.
