Astigmatism fluctuations can be suppressed.

  In the variable magnification optical system of the present application, it is desirable that the fourth lens group has a positive refractive power. With this configuration, it is possible to suppress changes in spherical aberration and astigmatism during zooming.

With this configuration, it is possible to increase the magnification of the second lens group, and it is possible to suppress fluctuations in spherical aberration and astigmatism during zooming while efficiently realizing a high zoom ratio.
