A high magnification, four-group zoom lens formed of only four lens groups, namely,
a first lens group of positive refractive power, a second lens group of negative
refractive power, and third and fourth lens groups of positive refractive power.
The first lens group includes, in order from the object side, a first lens subgroup
that is fixed during focusing and a second lens subgroup that moves during focusing.
The second lens group includes, in order from the object side, first and second
lens elements having negative refractive power, and first and second doublet components
with each formed of a lens element having positive refractive power and a lens
element having negative refractive power. To suppress lateral color, specified
conditions are satisfied for the Abbe numbers and the refractive indices of the
positive refractive power lens elements that are included in the doublet components
of the second lens group.
