Abstract

A zoom lens system having a negative first lens group and a positive second lens group, from an object side, and achieving zooming by varying a group-to-group distance. The second lens group includes a three-element cemented lens which is a set of three lens elements cemented together including, from the object side, a negative first lens, a positive second lens, and a negative third lens, and the three-element cemented lens fulfills conditional formulas 0.08<(rs2+rs1)/(rs2−rs1)<0.5, 27<v2-v1<40, 20<v2-v3<38 (rs1, rs2 represent the curvature radius of the sides of cemented surfaces of the three-element cemented lens on the object side and the image side respectively, and v1-3 represent the Abbe numbers of the first to third lenses of the three-element cemented lens).
