A zoom lens includes a focus cam for converting a first rotation amount given upon a focus operation into a movement of the focus lens group and further converting a second rotation amount given upon a zoom operation into the movement of the focus lens group, and a focus cam follower engaged with the focus cam and operable to move in the focus cam. The focus cum follower rotates in the focus cum according to the rotation amount of the zoom driving unit to move the focus lens group. A lift amount of the focus cam is defined so that a rotation amount of the focus driving unit from a far end position to an infinite position when the rotation position of the zoom driving unit is at a wide-angle end becomes larger than the rotation amount when the rotating position of the zoom driving unit is at a telephoto end.
