At least one exemplary embodiment is directed to a zoom lens which includes first to fourth lens groups, each moving and having negative, positive, negative, and positive refractive power, arranged from an object to an image in that order. The second lens group includes a second A lens component composed of a single positive lens, and a second B lens component composed of a negative lens and a positive lens with positive refractive power as a whole, arranged from the object to the image in that order. The second A lens component displaces images in a direction substantially perpendicular to an optical axis by having a component of it's displacement perpendicular to the optical axis, and the zoom lens satisfies the following condition: 0.2
