Abstract

A zoom lens system comprises from the object side, a front lens group having a refractive power of a predetermined sign and a rear lens group having a refractive power of different sign from that of the front lens group. The front lens group is shiftable along the optical axis of the lens system in a zooming operation, and movable perpendicularly to the optical axis for decreasing a blur caused by a hand shake. The rear lens group is shiftable along the optical axis in the zooming operation.
