ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a zoom lens system, in order from an object side to an image side, including: a first lens unit having a positive optical power; a second lens unit having a negative optical power; a third lens unit having a positive optical power; and a fourth lens unit having a positive optical power, in which during zooming, intervals of the lens units are changed. In such a zoom lens system, a material having a large refractive index is adopted for a material constituting a negative lens element disposed on the most object side in the second lens unit, whereby high optical performance is realized while the whole lens system is miniaturized.
