ABSTRACT:
Providing a compact zoom lens system having high optical performance suitable for an electronic imaging device with a large number of pixels. The zoom lens system includes, in order from an object, a first lens group having negative refractive power, a second lens group having positive refractive power, and a third lens group having positive refractive power. When zooming from a wide-angle end state to a telephoto end state, the first lens group and the second lens group are moved such that a distance between the first lens group and the second lens group decreases, and a distance between the second lens group and the third lens group increases. The second lens group is composed of at least two positive lens elements and one negative lens element. At least one positive lens element and the negative lens element in the second lens group satisfy given conditional expressions.
