Abstract

Abstract A photographic lens system is constituted of four lens components and four lens elements, comprising a first lens component of a meniscus positive lens with its convex surface on the object side, a second lens component of a biconcave lens, a third lens component of a biconvex lens and a fourth lens component of a meniscus negative lens with its convex on the image side. It is so arranged that the shortening of the focal length in such a manner that the image quality is kept good over a wide angle of field of view and the reducing of the telephoto ratio are well balanced so as to enable provision of a very compact photographic lens system having superior characteristics.
