ABSTRACT:
A zoom lens system, in sequence from an object side to an image side, includes a first lens group having positive refractive power and fixed for gathering incoming light; a second lens group having negative refractive power for changing a focal length of the zoom lens system; a third lens group having positive refractive power and made stationary; a fourth lens group having positive refractive power and movable for compensating for a fluctuation of an image plane position; and a fifth lens group having positive refractive power and movable for focusing purpose. During zooming from a wide-angle end to a telephoto end, the second and fourth lens groups are moved independently toward the third lens group in such a manner that spacing between the first lens group and the second lens group increases and spacing between the third lens group and the fourth lens group decreases.
