The object of the invention is to reduce the thickness of electronic image pickup equipment as much as possible, using a zooming mode having stable, high image-formation capabilities from an object at infinity to a near-by object. The electronic image pickup equipment comprises a zoom lens system comprising a negative, first lens group G1, a positive, second lens group G2 and a positive, third lens group G3. For zooming from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end of the zoom lens system upon focused on an object at infinity, the separation between G2 and G3 becomes wise. By moving G3 toward the object side of the system, the system can be focused on a nearer-by object. In the zoom lens system, the second lens group G2 comprises one positive lens 2a, one negative lens 2b and a lens subgroup 2c comprising at least one lens, and the third lens group G3 comprises one positive lens. The zoom lens system satisfies conditions with respect to the optical axis distance from the image-side surface of the positive lens 2a to the image-side surface of the negative lens 2b and the focal length ratio in air between the positive lens 2a and the lens subgroup 2c.
