ABSTRACT:
A zoom lens system comprises from the object side to the image side a negative first lens unit, a positive second lens unit, and a negative third lens unit. The negative first lens unit consists of a negative lens element and a positive lens element. The positive second lens unit consists of a negative lens element and a positive lens element, and has a first air space between the first and second lens units. The negative third lens unit consists of a positive lens element and a negative lens element, and has a second air space between the second and third lens units. All the lens units shift along an optical axis of the zoom lens system during a zooming operation from the shortest focal length condition to the longest focal length condition with decreasing the first and second air spaces.
