Abstract

A telephoto lens system is provided having a first lens group of a positive refractive power, a second lens group of a negative refractive power with a variable air space, and a third lens group of a positive refractive power with a variable air space. All of the lens groups are shiftable during a focusing operation with the second lens group air space increasing and the third lens group air space decreasing when focusing is effected from infinity to a short distance.
