ABSTRACT:
A zoom lens suitable for an inexpensive camera has a front positive lens group and a rear negative lens group. Both groups move for zooming with the rear negative group providing most of the variation in focal length. The front positive group includes a front negative component and a rear positive component while the rear negative group includes a rear negative component and a weak plastic element having at least one aspheric surface. The plastic element is sufficiently weak that it does not cause variation in focus with normal variations in temperature and relative humidity. All other elements in the zoom lens are glass.
