The present invention has as its object to obtain a zoom lens having a high variable power ratio, and having high optical performance which can sufficiently cope with even the use, for example, of a solid state image pickup element having a wide angle of field. In a zoom lens having, in succession from an object side to an image side, a first lens unit L 1 of negative optical power, a second lens unit L 2 of positive optical power and a third lens unit L 3 of positive optical power, wherein the interval between adjacent ones of the lens units is changed to thereby effect focusing, the first lens unit has a negative lens and a positive lens, the second lens unit has a positive lens and a negative lens, the third lens unit has a positive lens, and the object side and image side surfaces of the negative lens G 11 of the first lens unit which is most adjacent to the object side are of an aspherical shape.
