Abstract

A zoom lens, comprises: in order from an object, a first lens group (G 1 ) having positive refractive power; a second lens group (G 2 ) having negative refractive power; a third lens group (G 3 ) having positive refractive power; a fourth lens group (G 4 ) having negative refractive power; and a fifth lens group (G 5 ) having positive refractive power, wherein, upon zooming from a wide-angle end state to a telephoto end state, a distance between each of lens groups and a lens group adjacent thereto changes to satisfy the following conditional expression: 2.90<| MV 5/ MV 2|<11.50 where, MV5 denotes, upon zooming from a wide-angle end state to a telephoto end state, a moving amount of the fifth lens group with an image surface as a reference; and MV2 denotes, upon zooming from the wide-angle end state to the telephoto end state, a moving amount of the second lens group with the image surface as the reference.
