Zoom lens having high zoom ratio including wide angle range

摘要

A compact zoom lens having a high zoom ratio including a wide angle range is composed of a first positive lens group, a second negative lens group and a positive third lens group arranged in that order from the object side of the lens. The first and third lens groups are integrally movable toward the object from the wide angle end to the telephoto end of the lens system. The second lens group is movable independently of the first and third lens groups.
