  • Publication number: 20160313538
    Abstract: A photographic lens system includes first to sixth lenses arranged sequentially from an object along the optical axis. The first lens has positive refractive power, the second lens is meniscus shaped and has negative refractive power, the third lens has an upwardly-convex shape and positive refractive power, the fourth lens has an upwardly-convex shape and negative refractive power, the fifth lens has positive refractive power, and the sixth lens has negative refractive power. The photographic lens system satisfies ?10<f2/f1<0 and L2te/L2tc<L16tc. The radius of curvature of an object-side lens surface of the third lens has a negative value, and the radius of curvature of an image-side surface of the third lens has a negative value. This reduces the tightness of manufacturing tolerance while reducing the size and weight of the lens system, thereby improving the reproducibility of performance of the lens system.
