     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0030]    Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. In the drawings, the sizes of elements may be exaggerated for clarity. 
         [0031]      FIGS. 1 ,  3 , and  5  are diagrams of optical arrangements of zoom lenses respectively at a wide angle position, a middle position, and a telephoto position, according to exemplary embodiments. 
         [0032]      FIGS. 1 ,  3 , and  5  each illustrates a zoom lens system that includes, in an order from an object OBJ to an image IMG, a first lens group G 1  having negative refractive power and a second lens group G 2  having positive refractive power. 
         [0033]    Lenses of the first and second lens groups G 1  and G 2  are designed in such a way that the zoom lens system satisfies following conditions. 
         [0000]      [Equation 1] 
         [0000]      1.2 ≦F   now ≦2.2  (1)
 
         [0000]      [Equation 2] 
         [0000]      2.5 &lt;f   t   /f   w ≦3  (2)
 
         [0000]      [Equation 3] 
         [0000]        BFL≧ 6 mm  (3)
 
         [0034]    Here, F now  denotes an F-number at the wide angle position, f t  and f w  denote overall focal lengths respectively at the telephoto position and the wide angle position, and BFL denotes a back focal length. 
         [0035]    The first and second lens groups G 1  and G 2  move in such a way that an interval between the first lens group G 1  and the second lens group G 2  changes during zooming from the wide angle position to the telephoto position, for example, the first lens group G 1  may move toward the image IMG and the second lens group G 2  may move toward the object OBJ. 
         [0036]    An iris ST is disposed between the first and second lens groups G 1  and G 2 , and the iris ST may not move and be fixed during zooming. 
         [0037]    The first lens group G 1  may include, in an order from the object OBJ to the image IMG, three lenses respectively having negative refractive power, negative refractive power, and positive refractive power. According to such a refractive power arrangement, distortion aberration effectively decreases and coma aberration is compensated for. 
         [0038]    Also, the second lens group G 2  may include, in an order from the object OBJ to the image IMG, three lenses respectively having positive refractive power, negative refractive power, and positive refractive power. 
         [0039]    The second lens group G 2  may include at least one aspheric surface. For example, a lens surface of the second lens group G 2  closest to the image IMG may be an aspheric surface, a lens surface of the second lens group G 2  closest to the object OBJ may be an aspheric surface, or both the lens surface of the second lens group G 2  closest to the image IMG and the lens surface of the second lens group G 2  closest to the object OBJ may be aspheric surfaces. Higher resolution may be realized with a relatively low number of lenses by forming the lens surface of the second lens group G 2  closest to the object OBJ as an aspheric surface, and astigmatism and astigmatic field curvature may be effectively compensated for by forming the lens surface of the second lens group G 2  closest to the image IMG as an aspheric surface. 
         [0040]    The zoom lens system may satisfy a following condition. 
         [0000]      [Equation 4] 
         [0000]      −3.0 &lt;f   I   /f   w &lt;−2.5  (4)
 
         [0041]    Here, f I  denotes a focal length of the first lens group G 1  and f w  denotes the overall focal length at the wide angle position. 
         [0042]    Such condition is related to a ratio of the focal length of the first lens group G 1  to the overall focal length at the wide angle position. When fI/f w  is equal to or above −2.5, magnification of the zoom lens system increases but resolution of the zoom lens system decreases due to high aberration of the first lens group G 1 . When f I /f w  is equal to or below −3.0, a view angle and the magnification of the zoom lens system decrease, and an overall length of the zoom lens system increases, and thus it is difficult to miniaturize the zoom lens system. 
         [0043]    The zoom lens system may also satisfy a following condition. 
         [0000]      [Equation 5] 
         [0000]        vd 22&lt;30  (5)
 
         [0044]    Here, vd 22  denotes a d-line Abbe number of a lens disposed second closest to the object OBJ from among the second lens group G 2 . 
         [0045]    The above condition is related to the d-line Abbe number of the lens disposed second closest to the object OBJ from among the second lens group G 2 . When vd 22  is equal to or higher than 30, chromatic aberration increases. 
         [0046]    The zoom lens system may also satisfy a following condition. 
         [0000]      [Equation 6] 
         [0000]        v ( G 2+)&gt;50  (6)
 
         [0047]    Here, v(G 2 +) denotes an average of Abbe numbers of lenses having positive refractive power from among the second lens group G 2 . 
         [0048]    The above condition is related to the average of the Abbe numbers of the lenses having positive refractive power from among the second lens group G 2 . When v(G 2 +) is equal to or smaller than 50, chromatic aberration increases. 
         [0049]    The zoom lens system may also satisfy a following condition. 
         [0000]      [Equation 7] 
         [0000]        nd 21&gt;1.58  (7)
 
         [0050]    Here, nd 21  is a d-line refractive index of a lens closest to the object OBJ of the second lens group G 2 . 
         [0051]    The above condition is related to the d-line refractive index of the lens closest to the object OBJ of the second lens group G 2 . When nd 21  is equal to or smaller than 1.58, chromatic aberration is generated and spherical aberration increases. Also, condition (7) with condition (5) may minimize axial chromatic aberration. 
         [0052]    Detailed lens data of various embodiments of the zoom lens system will now be described. An aspheric surface ASP according to exemplary embodiments may be defined as follows.

         [0064]    In the above embodiments, a bright zoom lens system having a wide view angle is realized via the above-described lens structures. Also, the zoom lens system realizes satisfactory optical performances, such as various aberration compensations, with a relatively low number of lenses. 
         [0065]    The zoom lens system according to the exemplary embodiments described above may be used in an image apparatus, along with an image pickup device that changes an optical image formed by the zoom lens system to an electric signal. Such an imaging apparatus can detect motion of an object in a dark and wide area according to a wide view angle of the bright zoom lens system, and thus may be applied to a surveillance camera. 
         [0066]    While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the following claims. The exemplary embodiments should be considered in a descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation.
