## Background
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a zoom lens and an image pickup apparatus including the zoom lens, and more particularly, to a zoom lens suited for use in a broadcasting television camera, a cinema camera, a video camera, a digital still camera, a monitoring camera, and a silver-halide film camera.
Description of the Related Art
In recent years, a zoom lens having a wide angle of view, a high zoom ratio, and high optical performance is desired for use in an image pickup apparatus, e.g., a television camera, a cinema camera, a film camera, a silver-halide film camera, a digital camera, or a video camera. In particular, an image pickup device, e.g., a charge coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS), which is used in a television or cinema camera serving as a professional moving image pickup system, has a substantially uniform resolution over the entire image pickup range. Therefore, a zoom lens using the image pickup device is required to have a substantially uniform resolution from the center to the periphery of the screen. There are also needs for reductions in size and weight for an image pickup mode that places emphasis on mobility and operability. Meanwhile, an exchangeable lens for use in a television or cinema camera needs to secure a satisfactorily long back focus.
As a zoom lens having a wide angle of view and a high zoom ratio, there is known a positive lead type zoom lens in which a first lens unit having a positive refractive power and a second lens unit having a negative refractive power for zooming are arranged in order from an object side. For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H06-242378, there is described a zoom lens having a zooming ratio of about 8 and an angle of view of about 87 degrees at a wide angle end, and including, on the image side of a second lens unit, a third lens unit for correcting an image plane variation accompanying zooming, and a stop configured not to move during zooming. Moreover, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-63026, there is described a zoom lens having a zooming ratio of about 11 and an angle of view of about 76 degrees at a wide angle end, and including, between a second lens unit and a lens unit on an image side of the second lens unit, a stop configured to move during zooming.
As a zoom lens having a wide angle of view and a high zooming ratio, there is known a positive lead type five-unit zoom lens including five lens units, of which a lens unit having a positive refractive power is arranged closest to an object side, and in which the following three movable lens units: a second lens unit having a negative refractive power, a third lens unit having a positive refractive power, and a fourth lens unit having a positive refractive power are configured to vary magnification and to correct an image plane variation accompanying the zooming (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H07-248449 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-128491).
In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H07-248449, there is disclosed a zoom lens having a zooming ratio of about 17× and a photographing angle of view of about 70 degrees at a wide angle end. In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-128491, there is disclosed a zoom lens having a zooming ratio of about 54× and an angle of view of about 60 degrees at a wide angle end.
The positive lead type zoom lens having the above-mentioned structure is relatively easy to realize a wide angle of view, but in order to realize both high optical performance and downsizing, it is important to appropriately set refractive power arrangement of the lenses. In particular, an off axial ray passes through the first lens unit, which is closest to the object side, at a position farthest from the optical axis. Therefore, in order to realize both the optical performance and the downsizing, it is important to appropriately set a position of the stop in the optical system, shares of zooming among lens units configured to move during zooming, and a refractive power and a configuration of the first lens unit.
In the zoom lens described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H06-242378, the stop is arranged on the image side of the second and third lens units, which are responsible for zooming. Therefore, the stop is away from the first lens unit, resulting in increases in lens diameter and number of lenses of the first lens unit. Moreover, in the zoom lens described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-63026, the stop, which is configured to move during zooming, is arranged between the second lens unit and the third lens unit in a manner that is advantageous in downsizing the first lens unit. However, the refractive power of the first lens unit is small, and a paraxial arrangement appropriate for realizing an even wider angle of view and downsizing is not obtained.
The positive lead type zoom lens disclosed in each of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H07-248449 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-128491 is relatively easy to realize a wide angle of view and a high zooming ratio, but in order to realize both a wide angle of view and downsizing, it is important to appropriately set refractive power arrangement of the lenses. In particular, an off axial ray passes through the first lens unit, which is closest to the object side, at a position farthest from the optical axis, and hence the first lens unit tends to become larger than other lens units. Therefore, it is important to appropriately set refractive powers of the first lens unit and the second lens unit. Moreover, appropriate setting of refractive powers and movement loci of the lens units configured to move during zooming may bring the off axial ray closer to the optical axis on the wide angle side of the first lens unit, and reduce an aberration variation during zooming, with the result that both the optical performance and the downsizing may be realized. In the zoom lens disclosed in each of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H07-248449 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-128491, of the second to fourth lens units, which are responsible for zooming, the second lens unit is configured to move monotonously from the object side to the image side, and the third and fourth lens units are configured to move substantially monotonously from the image side to the object side. The third lens unit and the fourth lens unit have relatively close movement loci, and hence are suitable for increasing the zooming ratio. However, the refractive powers of the respective lens units tend to become larger, and a manufacturing error tends to affect the optical performance.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide, by appropriately setting a position of a stop and refractive powers of respective lens units, a zoom lens having a wide angle of view, a high zoom ratio, a small size, a light weight, and high optical performance over the entire zoom range, and securing a sufficiently long back focus.

1.0<Lw/Lt<10.0

1.0<Dw/Dt<100.0

−5.0<f1/f2<−0.5

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
Now, exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.
First, features of a zoom lens according to Embodiments 1 to 12 of the present invention are described along with conditional expressions. In the zoom lens according to the present invention, in order to attain a zoom lens having a wide angle of view, a high zoom ratio, a small size, a light weight, and high optical performance over the entire zoom range, and securing a sufficiently long back focus, shares of zooming among lens units configured to move during zooming, and a refractive power of a first lens unit are defined.
The zoom lens according to the present invention includes, in order from an object side to an image side: a first lens unit having a positive refractive power; a second lens unit; a third lens unit having a positive refractive power; a fourth lens unit having a positive refractive power; and a rear lens unit including at least one lens unit. The second lens unit includes one or more lens sub-units, and has a negative refractive power as a whole. The first lens unit is configured not to move for zooming, and the second lens unit is configured to move during zooming. At least the fourth lens unit of the third lens unit, the fourth lens unit, and the rear lens unit is configured to move during zooming. The zoom lens includes a stop between the second lens unit and the third lens unit or between the third lens unit and the fourth lens unit. Moreover, the rear lens unit includes three or more lenses, and when lateral magnifications of the second lens unit at a wide angle end and a telephoto end are represented by β2w and β2t, respectively, when a light flux enters from infinity, focal lengths of the zoom lens at the wide angle end and the telephoto end are represented by fw and ft, respectively, a focal length of the first lens unit is represented by f1, and a focal length of the second lens unit at the wide angle end is represented by f2, the following expressions are satisfied:

0.50<(ft×β2w2)/(fw×β2t2)<1.40  (1)

−2.45<f1/f2<−0.50  (2).

The zoom lens according to the present invention is a positive lead type zoom lens in which the first lens unit having the positive refractive power and the second lens unit for zooming, which has the negative refractive power, are arranged. The first lens unit having the positive refractive power is advantageous in downsizing the second lens unit, which is configured to move during zooming, and in suppressing a movement amount of the second lens unit. Moreover, at least the fourth lens unit is configured to move during zooming, and shares the zooming ratio with the second lens unit. The second lens unit has the negative refractive power as a whole, and may share the negative refractive power among a plurality of lens units. However, it is more preferred that the second lens unit desirably include one lens unit.
The conditional expression (1) defines shares of the zooming among lens units configured to move during zooming. The conditional expression (1) is satisfied to achieve reductions in size and weight of the zoom lens. The conditional expression (1) indicates a ratio between the share of zooming held by the second lens unit and the share of zooming held by the lens units configured to move during zooming excluding the second lens unit. Here, the zooming ratio of the zoom lens, which is represented by z, the share of zooming held by the second lens unit, which is represented by z2, and the share of zooming of the lens units configured to move during zooming excluding the second lens unit, which is represented by z2ex, are expressed by the following expressions:

z=ft/fw  (6)

z2=β2t/β2w  (7)

z2ex=z/z2  (8).

The conditional expression (1) expresses a ratio between z2 and z2ex, and as the value of the conditional expression (1) becomes smaller, the share of zooming held by the second lens unit becomes larger, and the movement amount of the second lens unit during zooming becomes larger. To the contrary, as the value of the conditional expression (1) becomes larger, the share of zooming held by the second lens unit becomes smaller, and the movement amount of the second lens unit during zooming becomes smaller.
Meanwhile, in the zoom lens according to the present invention, the stop is arranged between the second lens unit and the third lens unit or between the third lens unit and the fourth lens unit to bring the first lens unit and the stop closer to each other, to thereby reduce a lens diameter of the first lens unit. As the stop is brought closer to the first lens unit, the first lens unit may be reduced in size, but a lens diameter of a rear lens unit, which is away from the stop, becomes disadvantageously larger. Therefore, in order to achieve the reductions in size and weight of the entire zoom lens, it is important to appropriately set a position of the stop. When the upper limit condition of the conditional expression (1) is not satisfied, the share of zooming held by the second lens unit during zooming becomes smaller, and the movement amount of the second lens unit becomes smaller. Therefore, the stop may be arranged close to the first lens unit, and the first lens unit may be advantageously downsized, but the lens diameter of the rear lens unit becomes disadvantageously larger. Moreover, movement amounts of the lens units configured to move during zooming excluding the second lens unit become disadvantageously larger, and a total length of the zoom lens becomes larger. When the lower limit condition of the conditional expression (1) is not satisfied, the share of zooming of the second lens unit during zooming becomes larger, and the movement amount of the second lens unit becomes larger. Therefore, it becomes difficult to arrange the stop close to the first lens unit, and the downsizing of the first lens unit cannot be achieved. It is more preferred to set the conditional expression (1) as follows:

0.6<(ft×β2w2)/(fw×β2t2)<1.0  (1a).

Moreover, the conditional expression (2) defines a ratio between the focal lengths of the first lens unit and the second lens unit. The conditional expression (2) is satisfied to achieve both a wide angle of the zoom lens and correction of aberration variations. The focal length of the zoom lens is a value obtained by multiplying the focal length of the first lens unit by lateral magnifications of the second lens unit to the rear lens unit. Therefore, in order to achieve the wide angle, there is a need to appropriately set the focal length of the first lens unit. When the upper limit condition of the conditional expression (2) is not satisfied, the refractive power of the first lens unit becomes stronger, and it becomes difficult to correct aberration variations accompanying zooming and aberration variations accompanying focusing. When the lower limit condition of the conditional expression (2) is not satisfied, the refractive power of the first lens unit becomes insufficient, and it becomes difficult to achieve both the wide angle and the reductions in size and weight. It is more preferred to set the conditional expression (2) as follows:

−2.45<f1/f2<−0.80  (2a).

Moreover, three or more lenses are arranged in the rear lens unit to achieve a configuration for securing a sufficiently long back focus. In order to increase the back focus of the zoom lens, a negative refractive power and a positive refractive power are respectively arranged on the object side and the image side in the rear lens unit, so that a principal point of the rear lens unit is pushed out to the image side, to thereby secure the back focus of the zoom lens. In order to arrange the negative refractive power and the positive refractive power on the object side and the image side in the rear lens unit, respectively, and to satisfactorily correct chromatic aberration generated in the rear lens unit, three or more lenses are required.
It is more preferred that at least two lens units of the third lens unit, the fourth lens unit, and the rear lens unit be configured to move during zooming.
In a further aspect of the zoom lens according to the present invention, the stop is configured not to move in an optical axis direction for zooming.
In a further aspect of the zoom lens according to the present invention, the third lens unit and the fourth lens unit are configured to move during zooming, and when focal lengths of the third lens unit and the fourth lens unit are respectively represented by f3 and f4, the following expression is satisfied:

0.4<f3/f4<2.5  (3).

The conditional expression (3) is satisfied to achieve both the reductions in size and weight and the high optical performance of the zoom lens. When the upper limit condition of the conditional expression (3) is not satisfied, the focal length of the third lens unit becomes relatively longer, and hence an axial ray that enters the fourth lens unit becomes higher, resulting in an increase in lens diameter and an increase in number of lenses. Moreover, the axial ray that passes through the fourth lens unit becomes the highest at the telephoto end, and hence it becomes difficult to correct spherical aberration at the telephoto end. When the lower limit condition of the conditional expression (3) is not satisfied, the focal length of the fourth lens unit becomes relatively longer, and hence a movement amount of the fourth lens unit is increased during zooming, with the result that the total lens length becomes longer, and that it becomes difficult to reduce the size and weight of the zoom lens. It is more preferred to set the conditional expression (3) as follows:

0.5<f3/f4<2.1  (3a).

In a further aspect of the zoom lens according to the present invention, when intervals between the third lens unit and the fourth lens unit at the wide angle end and the telephoto end are represented by L34w and L34t, respectively, the following expression is satisfied:

0.01<L34t/L34w<0.60  (4).

The conditional expression (4) may be satisfied to bring the third lens unit and the fourth lens unit closer to each other at the telephoto end than at the wide angle end, and to increase a combined refractive power of the third lens unit and the fourth lens unit at the telephoto end. As a result, movement amounts of the third lens unit and the fourth lens unit during zooming may be reduced, and the total lens length of the zoom lens may be reduced. When the lower limit condition of the conditional expression (4) is not satisfied, an interval between the third lens unit and the fourth lens unit at the wide angle end becomes larger, and hence the total lens length becomes longer, with the result that it becomes difficult to reduce the size and weight of the zoom lens. When the upper limit condition of the conditional expression (4) is not satisfied, an interval between the third lens unit and the fourth lens unit at the telephoto end becomes relatively longer, with the result that the combined refractive power of the third lens unit and the fourth lens unit becomes smaller, and that the total lens length of the zoom lens becomes longer. It is more preferred to set the conditional expression (4) as follows:

0.02<L34t/L34w<0.20  (4a).

In a further aspect of the zoom lens according to the present invention, the rear lens unit is configured not to move for zooming. Moreover, a partial lens unit of the rear lens unit may be configured to move in a direction substantially orthogonal to the optical axis, to thereby function as a vibration isolation unit configured to correct a blur in a photographed image when the entire system of the zoom lens is vibrated. Further, a partial lens unit of the rear lens unit may be configured to move in the optical axis direction, to thereby function as a flange back adjustment unit configured to adjust a distance from a mounting reference surface of a lens mount to an image plane.
In a further aspect of the zoom lens according to the present invention, the first lens unit includes, in order from the object side to the image side: a first lens sub-unit having a negative refractive power, which is configured not to move for focusing; a second lens sub-unit having a positive refractive power, which is configured to move during focusing; and a third lens sub-unit having a positive refractive power, when a focal length of the first lens sub-unit is represented by f11, the following expression is satisfied:

−2.0<f11/f1<−0.4  (5).

The conditional expression (5) is satisfied to achieve both the reductions in size and weight and the high optical performance of the zoom lens. When the upper limit condition of the conditional expression (5) is not satisfied, the focal length of the first lens sub-unit becomes relatively shorter, and hence it becomes difficult to suppress variations in various off axial aberrations accompanying zooming on the wide angle side, in particular, to suppress distortion and field curvature. When the lower limit condition of the conditional expression (5) is not satisfied, the focal length of the first lens sub-unit becomes relatively longer, and hence a lens diameter of first lens unit, in particular, of the first lens sub-unit is increased, with the result that it becomes difficult to achieve the wide angle. In addition, it becomes difficult to suppress a change in field of view during focusing. It is more preferred to set the conditional expression (5) as follows:

−1.4<f11/f1<−0.5  (5a).

Further, an image pickup apparatus according to the present invention has a feature in including the zoom lens according to each of Embodiments and a solid state image pickup element having a predetermined effective image pickup range, which is configured to receive light of an image formed by the zoom lens.

Embodiment 1
FIG. 1 is a lens cross-sectional view when the focus is at the infinity at the wide angle end in the zoom lens according to Embodiment 1 (Numerical Embodiment 1) of the present invention. Arrows in each drawing that shows a lens cross-sectional view of a zoom lens designate movement of lens units for zooming from the wide angle to the telephoto end. FIG. 2A is a longitudinal aberration diagram at the wide angle end of Numerical Embodiment 1. FIG. 2B is a longitudinal aberration diagram at a focal length of 40 mm of Numerical Embodiment 1. FIG. 2C is a longitudinal aberration diagram at the telephoto end of Numerical Embodiment 1. Each of the aberration diagrams is the longitudinal aberration diagram when the focus is at the infinity. In addition, the value of the focal length is a value when corresponding value in Numerical Embodiment 1 to be described later is represented in units of mm. This also applies to Numerical Embodiments described below.

In this Embodiment, the second lens unit U2, the third lens unit U3, and the fourth lens unit U4 form a zooming system. An aperture stop SP is arranged between the second lens unit U2 and the third lens unit U3. The aperture stop may be changed in aperture diameter depending on zooming to maintain a predetermined F-number. Moreover, the aperture stop is configured not to move in the optical axis direction during zooming. When used as an image pickup optical system for a broadcasting television camera, a video camera, or a digital still camera, an image plane I corresponds to an image pickup surface of a solid state image pickup element (photoelectric transducer) or the like configured to receive light of an image formed by the zoom lens and to convert light to electricity. When used as an image pickup optical system for a film camera, the image plane I corresponds to a film surface on which the image formed by the zoom lens is exposed.
In each of the longitudinal aberration diagrams, spherical aberrations are illustrated with respect to e-line and g-line by a solid line and a two-dot chain line, respectively. Further, astigmatisms are illustrated on a meridional image plane by a broken line and on a sagittal image plane by a solid line. In addition, lateral chromatic aberrations are illustrated with respect to g-line by a two-dot chain line. A half angle of view is denoted by ω and an F-number is denoted by Fno. In each of the longitudinal aberration diagrams, a spherical aberration is illustrated in the unit of 0.4 mm, an astigmatism in the unit of 0.4 mm, a distortion in the unit of 10%, and a lateral chromatic aberration in the unit of 0.1 mm. In each Embodiment described below, each of the wide angle end and the telephoto end refers to a zooming position obtained when the second lens unit U2 for zooming is positioned at each of the ends of a range in which the second lens unit U2 may mechanically move along the optical axis.

In addition, there is achieved the zoom lens, which is configured to satisfactorily correct various aberrations over the entire zoom range, to thereby achieve both the high optical performance and the reductions in size and weight. There is also achieved the zoom lens securing the sufficiently long back focus.
The zoom lens according to each of Embodiments 13 to 19 of the present invention includes, in order from the object side to the image side, a first lens unit having the positive refractive power, which is configured not to move during zooming.

More specifically, the third lens unit is configured to move along a locus having a zoom position at which the distance from the surface closest to the image side of the first lens unit to the surface closest to the object side of the third lens unit on the optical axis is longer than at the wide angle end during zooming.
The phrase: “the respective lens units are configured not to move during zooming” means that the lens units are not driven for the purpose of zooming, but in a case where zooming and focusing are performed at the same time, the lens units may be moved for focusing.
In each lens cross-sectional view, the left side is the subject (object) side (front side), and the right side is the image side (rear side). In the lens cross-sectional view, a first lens unit U1 (front lens unit) having a positive refractive power is configured not to move during zooming. In the zoom lens according to each of Embodiments 13 and 15 to 18, which are illustrated in FIG. 25, FIG. 29, FIG. 31, FIG. 33, and FIG. 35, respectively, a focus lens unit U12 in the first lens unit U1 is configured to move toward the image side during focusing from an object at infinity to an object at a short distance. Fixed units U11 and U13 in the first lens unit U1 are configured not to move during focusing. In the zoom lens according to each of Embodiments 14 and 19, which are illustrated in FIG. 27 and FIG. 37, respectively, focus lens units U12 and U13 in the first lens unit U1 are configured to move in conjunction toward the image side and the subject side, respectively, during focusing from the object at infinity to the object at the short distance.

When used as an image pickup optical system for a broadcasting television camera, a cinema camera, a video camera, or a digital still camera, an image plane I corresponds to an image pickup surface of a solid state image pickup element (photoelectric transducer) or the like configured to receive light of an image formed by the zoom lens and to convert light to electricity. When used as an image pickup optical system for a film camera, the image plane I corresponds to a film surface on which the image formed by the zoom lens is exposed.
In the aberration diagrams, spherical aberrations are illustrated with respect to e-line, g-line, C-line, and F-line by a solid line, a two-dot chain line, a one-dot chain line, and a broken line, respectively. Further, astigmatisms are illustrated on a meridional image plane by a broken line and on a sagittal image plane by a solid line. In addition, lateral chromatic aberrations are illustrated with respect to g-line, C-line, and F-line by a two-dot chain line, a one-dot chain line, and a broken line, respectively. A half angle of view is denoted by ω and an F-number is denoted by Fno. In each of Embodiments described below, a case where a lens unit for zooming is arranged closest to a short focus side is referred to as the wide angle end, and a case where the lens unit is arranged closest to a long focus side is referred to as the telephoto end.
The zoom lens according to the present invention includes, in order from the object side to the image side, a first lens unit having the positive refractive power, which is configured not to move for zooming. The zoom lens also includes a second lens unit having a negative refractive power, which is configured to move during zooming, a third lens unit having a positive refractive power, which is configured to move during zooming, a fourth lens unit having a positive refractive power, and a fifth lens unit. Moreover, an interval between each pair of all lens units is changed during zooming.
The third lens unit is configured to pass through a point at which a distance between a surface closest to the image side of the first lens unit and a surface closest to the object side of the third lens unit on the optical axis becomes wider than at the wide angle end at least once during zooming. More specifically, the third lens unit is configured to move along a locus having a zoom position at which the distance from the surface closest to the image side of the first lens unit to the surface closest to the object side of the third lens unit on the optical axis is longer than at the wide angle end during zooming.
Distances between the surface closest to the image side of the first lens unit and a surface closest to the object side of the fourth lens unit on the optical axis at the wide angle end and the telephoto end are represented by Lw and Lt, respectively. Distances between a surface closest to the image side of the third lens unit and the surface closest to the object side of the fourth lens unit on the optical axis at the wide angle end and the telephoto end are represented by Dw and Dt, respectively. Focal lengths of the first lens unit and the second lens unit are represented by f1 and f2, respectively.
At this time, the following conditions are satisfied:

1.0<Lw/Lt<10.0  (9)

1.0<Dw/Dt<100.0  (10)

−5.0<f1/f2<−0.5  (11).

The conditional expression (9) defines the distances between the surface closest to the image side of the first lens unit and the surface closest to the object side of the fourth lens unit on the optical axis at the wide angle end and the telephoto end. However, the first lens unit is configured not to move during zooming, and hence the conditional expression (9) defines in effect a relationship between the wide angle end and the telephoto end of the fourth lens unit. In the zoom lens in each of Embodiments, appropriate setting of the movement locus of the fourth lens unit is an important factor in achieving both the high optical performance and the downsizing. The conditional expression (9) may be satisfied to suppress the increase in size of the zoom lens and to satisfactorily correct various aberrations.
When the ratio exceeds the upper limit of the conditional expression (9), the movement amount of the fourth lens unit during zooming becomes much larger, and hence a total length is increased, with the result that the zoom lens is disadvantageously increased in size. When the ratio falls below the lower limit of the conditional expression (9), a change in lateral magnification of the fourth lens unit becomes much smaller during zooming, and hence it becomes difficult to suppress various aberrations, in particular, to suppress chromatic aberration on the telephoto side.
It is more preferred to set the numerical range of the conditional expression (9) as follows:

1.2<Lw/Lt<2.5  (9a).

The conditional expression (10) defines the distances between the surface closest to the image side of the third lens unit and the surface closest to the object side of the fourth lens unit on the optical axis at the wide angle end and the telephoto end. In the zoom lens in each of Embodiments, appropriate setting of a relationship between the third lens unit and the fourth lens unit is an important factor in achieving both the high optical performance and the downsizing. The conditional expression (10) may be satisfied to suppress the increase in size of the zoom lens and to satisfactorily correct various aberrations.
When the ratio exceeds the upper limit of the conditional expression (10), the distance between the third lens unit and the fourth lens unit on the optical axis relatively changes too much during zooming, and hence the total length is increased, with the result that the zoom lens is disadvantageously increased in size. In another case, the interval between the lens units becomes much closer at the telephoto end, and when driven at high speed, glasses are disadvantageously brought into contact with each other. When the ratio falls below the lower limit of the conditional expression (10), the distance between the third lens unit and the fourth lens unit on the optical axis becomes larger at the telephoto end than at the wide angle end during zooming, and hence it becomes difficult to suppress various aberrations caused by zooming.
It is more preferred to set the numerical range of the conditional expression (10) as follows:

3.0<Dw/Dt<50.0  (10a).

The conditional expression (11) defines a ratio between the focal lengths of the first lens unit and the second lens unit. In the zoom lens in each of Embodiments, appropriate setting of the ratio between the first lens unit and the second lens unit is an important factor in achieving both the high optical performance and the downsizing. The conditional expression (11) may be satisfied to suppress the increase in size of the zoom lens and to satisfactorily correct various aberrations.
When the ratio exceeds the upper limit of the conditional expression (11), the focal length of the second lens unit becomes relatively much longer, and hence the movement amount of the second lens unit is increased, with the result that the zoom lens is disadvantageously increased in size. When the ratio falls below the lower limit of the conditional expression (11), the focal length of the second lens unit becomes relatively much shorter, and hence it becomes difficult to suppress variations in various aberrations caused by zooming.
It is more preferred to set the numerical range of the conditional expression (11) as follows:

−2.7<f1/f2<−0.7  (11a).

In each Embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned conditions may be satisfied to obtain small and lightweight zoom lens in which aberrations are satisfactorily corrected over the entire zoom range.
It is further preferred that, when focal lengths at the wide angle end and the telephoto end are represented by fw and ft, respectively, the zoom lens according to the present invention satisfy the following conditions:

0.1<fw/f1<1.5  (12)

2.0<ft/fw<30.0  (13).

The conditional expression (12) defines a ratio between the focal length at the wide angle end and the focal length of the first lens unit.
When the ratio exceeds the upper limit condition of the conditional expression (12), the focal length of the first lens unit becomes relatively much shorter, and hence it becomes difficult to suppress various aberrations, in particular, to suppress chromatic aberration on the telephoto side. When the ratio falls below the lower limit condition of the conditional expression (12), the focal length of the first lens unit becomes relatively much longer, and hence the lens diameter of the first lens unit becomes larger, with the result that it becomes difficult to achieve both the wide angle and the downsizing.
It is more preferred to set the numerical range of the conditional expression (12) as follows:

0.3<fw/f1<1.0  (12a).

The conditional expression (13) defines a ratio between the focal length at the wide angle end and the focal length at the telephoto end.
When the ratio exceeds the upper limit of the conditional expression (13), the movement amount of the lens unit configured to move during zooming is increased, and hence the zoom lens is disadvantageously increased in size. When the ratio falls below the lower limit of the conditional expression (13), the zoom ratio is too low, and thus usability is low.
It is more preferred to set the numerical range of the conditional expression (13) as follows:

2.5<ft/fw<15.0  (13a).

It is further preferred that, when a focal length of the third lens unit is represented by f3 and a focal length of the fourth lens unit is represented by f4, the zoom lens according to the present invention satisfy the following condition:

0.1<f3/f4<5.0  (14).

The conditional expression (14) defines a ratio between the focal lengths of the third lens unit and the fourth lens unit.
When the ratio exceeds the upper limit of the conditional expression (14), the focal length of the third lens unit becomes relatively much longer, and hence the movement amount is increased during zooming, with the result that the zoom lens is increased in size. When the ratio falls below the lower limit of the conditional expression (14), the focal length of the third lens unit becomes relatively much shorter, and hence it becomes difficult to suppress various aberrations caused by zooming. Moreover, the effect of a manufacturing error on performance becomes more significant, and hence a reduction in performance due to manufacturing variations becomes larger.
It is more preferred to set the numerical range of the conditional expression (14) as follows:

0.3<f3/f4<3.0  (14a).

It is further preferred that, when distances between the surface closest to the image side of the first lens unit and the surface closest to the object side of the third lens unit on the optical axis at the wide angle end and a zoom position at which the distance is longest are represented by Mw and Mmax, respectively, the zoom lens according to the present invention satisfy the following condition:

0.0<(Mmax−Mw)/Mw<1.0  (15).

The conditional expression (15) defines a distance between the surface closest to the image side of the first lens unit and the surface closest to the object side of the third lens unit on the optical axis at the wide angle end and at the zoom position at which the distance becomes the widest. However, the first lens unit is configured not to move for zooming, and hence the conditional expression (15) defines in effect a relationship between the wide angle end and the zoom position at which the distance becomes the widest of the third lens unit.
When the ratio exceeds the upper limit of the conditional expression (15), the nonlinear movement amount of the third lens unit is increased too much, and hence becomes difficult to control. Moreover, the third lens unit is brought too close to the fourth lens unit, and when driven at high speed, glasses are disadvantageously brought into contact with each other. When the ratio falls below the lower limit of the conditional expression (15), the focal length of the third lens unit becomes much shorter, and hence it becomes difficult to suppress various aberrations caused by zooming. Moreover, the effect of the manufacturing error on the performance becomes more significant, and hence the reduction in performance due to the manufacturing variations becomes larger.
It is more preferred to set the numerical range of the conditional expression (15) as follows:

2.0×10−2<(Mmax−Mw)/Mw<5.0×10−1  (15a).

It is further preferred that the zoom lens according to the present invention further include an aperture stop arranged between the second lens unit and the third lens unit or within the third lens unit. In this manner, it becomes easier to achieve both the reduction in diameter of the first lens unit and a high magnification.
It is further preferred that, in the zoom lens according to the present invention, the aperture stop be configured not to move for zooming. In this manner, wiring for controlling the stop becomes easier (Embodiments 13 to 15 and 17 to 19).
It is further preferred that, in the zoom lens according to the present invention, the third lens unit include one lens. As a result, the third lens unit is reduced in weight, and a load of control is reduced even in a case where the third lens unit is configured to move reciprocally (Embodiments 14 and 16 to 19).
It is further preferred that, in the zoom lens according to the present invention, the fourth lens unit include one lens having a positive refractive power and one lens having a negative refractive power. As a result, variations in various aberrations caused by zooming may be suppressed. Moreover, the fourth lens unit is reduced in weight and may be driven at high speed (Embodiments 13, 15, and 17).
It is further preferred that, in the zoom lens according to the present invention, the fifth lens unit be configured not to move for zooming. As a result, control becomes easier. Moreover, in Embodiment 13, provision of the vibration isolation lens unit becomes easier.
Next, features of lens configurations in each of Embodiments are described.
