Zoom lens (1) comprising as a whole four or five lens groups, which, starting from one side of the object, consist of a first lens group (G1) having a positive refractive power and fixed relative to an
image plane (Sim) during a change in
magnification, a second lens group (G2) having a negative refractive power and moving during the change in
magnification, one or two intermediate lens groups (G3, G4) comprising an mp lens group (G3 or G4) having a positive refractive power and moving during the change in
magnification, and a rearmost lens group (G4 or G5) located at the image-side position of the entire
system, having a positive refractive power and fixed relative to the
image plane (Sim) during the change in magnification, the change in magnification is achieved by changing all distances between the adjacent lens groups, the most posterior lens group (G4 or G5), in order starting from the object side, consists of an anterior group (L41 to L44 or L51 to L54) with a positive refractive power, a
middle group (Ois) with a negative refractive power and a posterior group (L48 to L51 or L58 to L61) with a positive refractive power, The air gaps between the front group and the
middle group, and between the
middle group and the rear group, remain constant during magnification changes and focusing. the anterior group includes at least two positive lenses and at least one negative lens,
Image stabilization is achieved by shifting only the center group in directions perpendicular to the direction of the
optical axis (Z). wherein the back group comprises a cemented lens (L49, L50 or L59, L60) formed by a positive lens and a negative lens cemented together, and the following conditional expressions (1) and (2) are satisfied: 0.20 < FGr3 / FGr < 0.45 1.75 < FGr1 / FGr3 < 3.00 where FGr3 is a
focal length of the rear group of the furthest rear lens group, FGr is a
focal length of the furthest rear lens group, and FGr1 is a
focal length of the front group of the furthest rear lens group.
