    A photographing optical system used in an image pickup apparatus (camera) is required to have various focal lengths and apertures depending on the application. For example, telephoto zoom lenses capable of zooming in on a distant subject at a desired angle of view are required to have high image quality, be compact and lightweight, have a high zoom ratio, and be capable of rapid focusing. As a zoom lens that satisfies these requirements, a positive lead type zoom lens in which a lens group having a positive refractive power is arranged closest to the object side is known.
