ABSTRACT:
A zoom optical system has lens groups, and performs zooming by varying distances between the respective lens groups in an optical axis direction thereof. The zoom optical system has two or more lens groups having a negative optical power and a positive optical power in this order from an object side. The first lens group (Gr1) and the second lens group (Gr2) each have three or less lens elements. The second lens group (Gr2) includes a positive lens element having a refractive index of 1.7 or more. The positive lens element has at least one aspherical surface. With this arrangement, provided are a compact and superfine zoom optical system with a zoom ratio of about two to three times, an imaging lens device incorporated with the zoom optical system, and a digital apparatus loaded with the imaging lens device.
