Abstract

Abstract A wide angle photographic lens system comprises, in the order from the object side, a first lens component which is a positive lens having its more convex surface facing the object side, a second lens component which is a negative meniscus lens having its convex surface facing the object side, a third lens component which is a biconvex lens having its more convex surface facing the object side, a diaphragm, a fourth lens component which is a biconcave lens, a fifth lens component which is a positive meniscus lens having its convex surface facing the image side, and a sixth lens component which is a biconvex lens. Four distinctive optical conditions are characteristic of the lens system.
