ABSTRACT:
A zoom lens system includes a positive lens unit and a negative lens unit. Focusing in a focal length range from a shortest focal length condition to a middle focal length condition is performed by moving the positive lens unit, and focusing in a focal length range from the middle focal length condition to a longest focal length condition is performed by moving the negative lens unit. The zoom lens system fulfills the following condition: ##EQU1## where B.sub.f is a distance from a rear end surface of the zoom lens system to a film at the shortest focal length condition and .increment.t is a diagonal length of the film.
