ABSTRACT:
A zoom lens system includes a first lens unit having a negative optical power, located closer to an object side, and a second lens unit having a positive optical power, located farther from the object side. Zooming is accomplished by varying the spacing between the first and second lens units. The surface of at least one lens element in the two lens units is a diffractive optical surface. At least one surface of the lens element is an aspherical surface.
