A macro lens system includes, in this order from an object side: a positive first lens group; a negative second lens group; a positive third lens group; a positive fourth lens group; a positive fifth lens group; and a negative sixth lens group. The first lens group is constituted by three lenses. The second lens group, the fourth lens group, and the fifth lens group are independently moved in the direction of the optical axes thereof when focusing from an object at infinity to an object at a most proximate distance.

A single focal length lens system includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens unit having positive optical power and a second lens unit including a lens element that moves in a direction of an optical axis with respect to an image surface in focusing from an infinity in-focus condition to a close-object in-focus condition.

An optical system includes a front lens unit, a first focus lens unit disposed on an image side of the front lens unit, and a second focus lens unit disposed on the image side of the first focus lens unit. A distance between adjacent lens units changes during focusing. The front lens unit includes two or more negative lenses.
