A zoom lens comprises in order from an object side, a first lens unit, a second lens unit, a third lens unit, a fourth lens unit, and a fifth lens unit having, respectively, a positive, negative, positive, negative, and positive refractive power. At the time of zooming from a wide angle end to a telephoto end, the first, third, and fourth lens units move toward the object side. A distance between the first and second lens units increase, a distance between the second and third lens units decrease, a distance between the third lens unit and the fourth lens unit changes, and a distance between the fourth lens unit and the fifth lens unit increases. The zoom lens satisfies the following expressions: 1.54
