ABSTRACT:
Providing a zoom lens system that has a high zoom ratio, high optical performance, and compactness, and is easy to be manufactured. The zoom lens system includes, in order from an object, a first lens group having positive refractive power, a second lens group having negative refractive power, a third lens group having positive refractive power, and a fourth lens group having positive refractive power. Zooming from a wide-angle end state to a telephoto end state is carried out by moving each lens group along the optical axis such that a distance between the first lens group and the second lens group increases, a distance between the second lens group and the third lens group decreases, a distance between the third lens group and the fourth lens group decreases. A zoom ratio is 5.0 or more. Given conditional expressions are satisfied.
