Abstract

A zoom lens system is arranged in three lens groups, in the order from object side to image plane side, that the first lens group has negative refractive power, the second lens group has positive refractive power, and the third lens group has negative refractive power. During zooming operation from wide angle position to telephoto position, the three lens groups vary the separations therebetween and together move toward the object side of the lens system. The first lens group of the lens system is composed of a negative lens element and a positive lens element.
