Abstract

A zoom lens system has, from the object side, a first lens unit, a second lens unit and a third lens unit. The first lens unit has a negative optical power as a whole. The second and third lens units have a positive optical power as a whole. In the zoom lens system, zooming is achieved by varying the distance between the first and second lens units, and at least one of the lens elements is a plastic lens element.
