The invention relates to a zooming system and provides a compact medium wave infrared continuous zooming system, aiming to overcome defects that existing refrigerating medium wave infrared continuouszooming system is long and is heavy. The zooming system comprises a front fixed group, a zoom group, a compensation group, a middle fixed group, a focusing group and a rear fixed group that are arranged coaxially in sequence along an optical axis direction from left to right, wherein the left side of the front fixed group is an object side, the right side of the rear fixed group is an image side,the front fixed group consists of a first lens, the zoom group consists of a second lens, the compensation group consists of two lenses, that is, a third lens and a fourth lens from left to right in sequence, the middle fixed group consists of a fifth lens, the focusing group consists of a sixth lens, the rear fixed group consists of two lenses, that is, a seventh lens and an eighth lens from leftto right in sequence, the zoom group and the compensation group can move toward each other or in an opposite direction along the optical axis, the zoom group is used for changing the focal length continuously, and the compensation group is used for compensating image side movement caused by change of focal length.
