Patent attributes
A zoom lens is provided and includes: in order from the object side, a first lens group having a positive power and including in order from the object side, a negative lens, a reflecting member that bends an optical path by substantially 90°, and a positive lens having biconvex shape which has at least one aspherical surface; a second lens group having a negative power and including two lenses; a third lens group having a positive power; and a fourth lens group having a positive power and including in order from the object side, a cemented lens having a negative power and a positive lens having a meniscus shape which has at least one aspherical surface and a convex surface on the object side. The zoom lens is adapted to change a magnification thereof by moving the second lens group and forth lens group, and satisfies specific conditional equations.
