ABSTRACT:
A zoom lens system includes, in order of from an object side to an image side: a first lens unit which does not move for zooming; a second lens unit moving during zooming; a third lens unit moving during zooming; and a fourth lens unit which does not move for zooming. The first lens unit includes a negative lens, a positive lens, a positive lens, and a positive lens, and when an Abbe number ν and a partial dispersion ratio θ of a material of the negative lens are denoted respectively by νn and θn, an average value of Abbe numbers ν and an average value of partial dispersion ratios θ of materials of the positive lenses are denoted respectively by νpa and θpa, and a refractive power of the negative lens is denoted by φn, the following expressions are satisfied: −1.75×10−3<(θpa−θn)/(νpa−νn); and 9.1×10−3(1/mm)<|φn|.
