Abstract
Abstract A zoom lens has three or more lens groups. A variable power lens group or at least one lens group located in a position nearer to an image than a variable power lens group serves as an image blur compensating group which is displaceable with respect the remaining lens groups. The magnification mC of the image blur compensating group satisfies a relation with respect to a composite focal length f1 of the lens groups nearer to an object than the image blur compensating group such that mC=1/{1+(f1/A)} wherein A is an arbitrary constant.
