ABSTRACT:
A zoom lens wherein a portion of the zoom lens moves for focusing has, from front to rear, a first lens unit of positive refractive power, at least a rear lens part of the first lens unit being moved to effect focusing. A plurality of lens units are provided to effect zooming, and these lens units move along an optical axis. Focusing from an infinitely distant object to an object at a minimum distance is performed by (i) moving the at least rear lens part forward, and (ii) moving one movable lens unit of the plurality of lens units forward into a space vacated by the rear lens part moving forward.
