Abstract
A zoom lens system in which aberration degradation due to focusing to a closer position, particularly a rapid increase in distortion of the focused image at the peripheral image field, is well compensated for. The lens system includes, from the object side, a first convergent lens component, a second convergent lens component, either a third convergent or divergent lens component and a fourth convergent lens component with the second and third components being movable for zooming. An afocal region is provided either in the space between the third and fourth lens components or within the fourth lens component.
