A zoom lens, having a camera shake correction function, that is capable of preventing
degradation of chromatic aberration while correcting camera shake, and can be small,
light-weight and power-saving, is provided. The zoom lens is composed of four groups
of lenses having positive, negative, positive and positive refractive powers, arranged
in that order from an object side to an image plane side, where a second lens group
conducts zooming and a fourth lens group conducts focus adjustment. The second
lens group is made of a concave meniscus lens, a concave lens, a double convex
lens, and a concave lens, arranged in that order from the object side to the image
plane side, and it includes also at least one aspheric surface. A third lens group
includes a cemented lens having a cemented surface whose convex surface faces the
object side, and can be shifted in a perpendicular direction with respect to an
optical axis in order to correct image fluctuations during a camera shake.
