Claim:
1. A zoom lens consisting of, in order from the object side to the image side: a first lens group having a positive refractive power; a second lens group having a negative refractive power; a third lens group having a positive refractive power; a fourth lens group having a negative refractive power; and a fifth lens group having a positive refractive power; the distance between the first lens group and the second lens group constantly increasing, the distance between the second lens group and the third lens group constantly decreasing, the distance between the third lens group and the fourth lens group constantly changing, and the distance between the fourth lens group and the fifth lens group constantly increasing when changing magnification from the wide angle end to the telephoto end; the first lens group consisting of, in order from the object side to the image side, a 1-1 negative lens, a 1-2 positive lens, and a 1-3 positive lens; the second lens group consisting of, in order from the object side to the image side, a 2-1 negative meniscus lens having a concave surface toward the image side, a 2-2 negative lens, a 2-3 positive lens, and a 2-4 negative lens; the third lens group consisting of four positive lenses, two negative lenses, and an aperture stop; and the fifth lens group consisting of a single lens component, wherein the third lens group consists of, in order from the object side to the image side, a 3-1 positive lens, an aperture stop, a 3-2 cemented lens having a positive combined refractive power, a 3-3 cemented lens having a negative combined refractive power, and a 3-4 positive lens.
