Patent ID: 8830597

Claim:
A zoom lens comprising, from an object side to an image side: a first lens unit having a positive refractive power; a second lens unit having a negative refractive power; an aperture stop; a third lens unit having a positive refractive power; a fourth lens unit having a negative refractive power; and a fifth lens unit having a positive refractive power, wherein, during zooming, the first lens unit and the aperture stop do not move, and the second, third, and fourth lens units move along different loci, and wherein the zoom lens satisfies a conditional expression 0.8<(β2 t/β 2 w )/(β3 t/β 3 w )<5.0, where β 2 w and β 2 t are respectively lateral magnifications of the second lens unit at a wide angle end and at a telephoto end, and β 3 w and β 3 t are respectively lateral magnifications of the third lens unit at the wide angle end and at the telephoto end.
