Abstract

The present invention relates to a zoom lens system used for photo-taking in a 35 mm single lens reflex camera. The zoom lens system consists of, from the object side, a first lens unit having a positive refractive power, a second lens unit having a negative refractive power, a third lens unit having a positive refractive power, and a fourth lens unit having a positive refractive power. Zooming from a wide-angle side to a telephoto side takes place by moving all of the first lens unit through the fourth lens unit to the object side. Focusing on an object at a short distance is performed by moving the second lens unit to the object side.
