    Abstract: A zoom lens has a four-group zoom configuration, in order from the object side to the image side, consisting of negative, positive, positive, and positive refractive power. The zoom lens carries out zooming from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end mainly by changing the distance between the third lens group and the fourth lens group. Also, the distance between the second lens group and the third lens group may be decreased in the zooming. Focusing is carried out mainly by moving the second lens group along the optical axis.
