BACKGROUND 
     1. Technical Field 
     The disclosure relates to image lens systems and, particularly, to an image lens system with a high resolution and a short overall length. 
     2. Description of Related Art 
     In order to obtain a clear image and reduce the size of a camera module, an image lens system of the camera module with high resolution and short overall length are needed. But there is a contradiction between a short overall length of the image lens system and a high resolution of the image lens system. For example, reducing the number of lenses usually shortens the overall length of the image lens system, but resolution of the image lens system will suffer. Conversely, increasing the number of lenses of the image lens system usually increases resolution of the image lens system, but the overall length of the image lens system is increased. 
     Therefore, it is desirable to provide an image lens system, which satisfies the above-mentioned needs.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 1 and 2 , an image lens system  10 , according to an exemplary embodiment, is shown. The image lens system  10  includes, in order from the object side to the image side thereof, a first lens group  100  with negative refraction power, a second lens group  200  with positive refraction power, and a third lens group  300  with positive refraction power. An imaging plane  130  is positioned at the image side of the image lens system  10 . When capturing an image, incident light enters the image lens system  10 , transmitting through the first lens group  100 , the second lens group  200 , the third lens group  300 , and finally is focused onto the imaging plane  130  where an image sensor (not shown) such as a charge-coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) is located. 
     The first lens group  100  and the third lens group  300  are fixed. The second lens group  200  is movable. Thereby, the effective focal length of the image lens system  10  can be adjusted by moving the second lens group  200  along the optical axis of the image lens system  10 . In particular, the distance between the first lens group  100  and the second lens group  200  along the optical axis of the image lens system  10  increases when the image lens system  10  switches from a wide angle state to a telephoto state. 
     In this embodiment, the first lens group  100  includes, in the order from the object side to the image side of the image lens system  10 , a first lens  102  with negative refraction power and a second lens  104  with positive refraction power. The first lens  102  includes a first surface  51  with negative refraction power, facing the object side, and a second surface S 2  with positive refraction power, facing the image side. The second lens  104  includes a third surface S 3  with positive refraction power, facing the object side, and a fourth surface S 4  with negative refraction power, facing the image side. 
     The second lens group  200  includes, in the order from the object side to the image side of the image lens system  10 , a third lens  202  with positive refraction power and a fourth lens  204  with positive refraction power. The third lens  202  includes a fifth surface S 5  with positive refraction power, facing the object side, and a sixth surface S 6  with positive refraction power, facing the image side. The fourth lens  204  includes a seventh surface S 7  with positive refraction power, facing the object side, and a eighth surface S 8  with negative refraction power, facing the image side. 
     The third lens group  300  includes a fifth lens  303  with positive refraction power. The fifth lens  303  includes a ninth surface S 9  with positive refraction power, facing the object side, and a tenth surface S 10  with positive refraction power, facing the image side. The first lens group  100 , the second lens group  200 , and the third lens group  300  are all made of glass. 
     To ensure that the image lens system  10  have short overall length and high resolution, the image lens system  10  is set to satisfy the following formulas:
 
2.1 ≦Lw /( a*Y )&lt;2.5;  (1)
 
1.9 ≦|Fp 1 /F 1|≦2.2;  (2)
 
0.6 ≦|Fp 2 /F 2|≦0.7.
 
     In the formula (1), “Lw” is the overall length of the image lens system  10 , that is, the distance along the optical axis of the image lens system  10  from the first surface S 1  of the first lens  102  to the imaging plane  130  when it is in the wide angle state, “a” is the zoom ratio of the image lens system  10  which is the ratio of the effective focal length of the image lens system  10  in the telephoto state to that is in the wide angle state, “Y” is the maximum height of the image the image lens system  10  generates, “*” means multiply. When the value of “Lw/(a*Y)” is too low, the aberration is too difficult to fixed. On the contrary, when the value of the “Lw/(a*Y)” is too high, the overall length of the image system  10  is too long. Thus, the formula (1) ensures that the aberration of the image system  10  can be fixed, while the overall length of the image system  10  is short. 
     In the formula (2), “Fp 1 ” is the effective focal length of the second lens  104 . “F 1 ” is the effective focal length of the first lens group  100 . When the value of “|Fp 1 /F 1 |” is too low, there will be serious field curvature of the image lens system  10 . Conversely, when the value of the “|Fp 1 /F 1 |” is too high, there will be serious astigmatism of the image lens system  10 , which adversely affects the resolution of the image lens system  10 . Therefore, the formula (2) keeps the field curvature and the astigmatism in a suitable range. 
     In the formula (3), “Fp 2 ” is the effective focal length of the fourth lens  204 , and “F 2 ” is the effective focal length of the second lens group  200 . When the value of “|Fp 2 /F 2 |” is too low, there will be serious astigmatism of the image lens system  10 . When the value of “|Fp 2 /F 2 |” is too high, there will be serious field curvature and chromatic aberration of the image lens system  10 . Thus, the formula (3) favorably limits the field curvature and chromatic aberration the of the image lens system  10  in a suitable range. 
     To balance the overall length, the zoom ratio and the resolution of the image lens system  10 , the image lens system  10  further satisfies the formulas:
 
0.65 &lt;M 2 /Ft&lt; 0.76.  (4)
 
0.25 &lt;L 12 t/Ft&lt; 0.3.  (5)
 
     wherein “M 2 ” is the maximum movement distant of the second lens group  200  along the optical axis when the image lens system  10  moves from the wide angle state to the telephoto state. “L 12   t ” is the distance along the optical axis between the first surface S 1  and the fifth surface S 5  when the image lens system  10  is in the telephoto state. In addition, “Ft” is the effective focal length of the image lens system  10  in the telephoto state. 
     To improve the image quality of the image lens system  10 , the image lens system  10  further includes an aperture stop  400  arranged between the second lens group  200  and the third lens group  300 , a filter  150  next to the third lens group  300 , and a glass cover  160  next to the imaging plane  130 . In one embodiment, the aperture stop  400  is arranged on the eighth surface S 8  of the second lens group  200  and moves with the second lens group  200 . The aperture stop  400  is configured for adjusting light flux from the second lens group  200  to the third lens group  300 , thus to facilitate uniform light transmission to correct coma aberrations of the image lens system  10 . The filter  150  includes an eleventh surface S 11  facing the object side and a twelfth surface S 12  facing the image side. The glass cover  160  includes a thirteenth surface S 13  facing the object side and a fourteenth surface S 14  facing the image side. 
     Detailed examples of the image lens system  10  are given below. But it should be noted that the image lens system  10  is not limited to these examples. Listed below are the symbols used in the detailed examples:
     R: radius of curvature;   D: distance between two adjacent lens surfaces along the optical axis of the image lens system  10 , wherein the unit is millimeter;   Nd: refractive index of lens with respect to the d light;   v: Abbe constant;   Conic: coin constant.

     The third surface S 3 , the fourth surface S 4 , the fifth surface S 5 , and the sixth surface are aspheric surfaces. The aspheric surfaces are shaped according to the formula.

wherein “h” is a height from the optical axis of the zoom lens system  100  to the aspheric surface, “c” is a vertex curvature, “k” is a conic constant, and “Ai” is i-th order correction coefficients of the aspheric surfaces.
