PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inner focus type macro lens having a vibration-proof function for correcting dispalcement of an imaging position due to camera shake or the like, which achieves photography from an infinity object to a short distance object near unmagnification.SOLUTION: The inner focus type macro lens having the vibration-proof function has, in order from an object side: a first lens group L1 having positive refractive power; a second lens group L2 having negative refractive power; a third lens group L3 having positive refractive power; and a fourth lens group L4 having negative refractive power. When focusing from the infinity object to the short distance object, at least the second lens group L2 is moved to an image surface side, and the third lens group L3 is moved to the object side, so as to perform short distance photography near to the unmagnification. The fourth lens group includes a front group having negative refractive power, and a rear group having positive refractive power, wherein image blur is corrected by moving the front group in a direction nearly perpendicular to an optical axis when the optical system is vibrated. The inner focus type macro lens satisfies a predetermined conditional expression.
