ABSTRACT:
A variable magnification optical system for forming an optical image of an object onto a light acceptance surface of an image sensor, has in order from an object side: a first lens group having negative optical power; a second lens group having positive optical power; and a third lens group having positive optical power, the third lens group including at least two lenses. In magnification change from a wide-angle limit to a telephoto limit, the first lens group moves along a locus convex to an image side, the second lens group moves monotonically to the object side, and the third lens group moves along a locus convex to the object side.
