ABSTRACT:
A compact four-unit type of zoom lens system particularly suited for video cameras. The zoom lens system has a variable power ratio of about 6-8 and is made up of a reduced number of about 9-11 lenses. This zoom lens system comprises a first lens unit I having a positive refractive power, a second lens unit II having a negative refractive power, a third lens unit III having a positive refractive power and a fourth lens unit IV having a positive refractive power. The first and third lens units I and III are movable toward the object side for zooming from the wide angle end to the telephoto end while the second lens unit II remains fixed. The fourth lens unit IV is movable for correcting image position variations. The third lens unit III includes at least one positive lens element and one negative lens element with a concave surface facing the fourth lens unit IV. The fourth lens unit IV includes one positive lens element and may further include one negative lens element.
