Abstract
An optical system includes a first lens having negative refractive power, a stop, a second lens having positive refractive power, an aperture stop, a third lens having positive refractive power, a fourth lens having negative refractive power, a fifth lens having positive refractive power, and a sixth lens having positive refractive power, with the lenses sequentially arranged from the magnifying side toward the demagnifying side. The third and fourth lenses are bonded into a doublet, which has negative refractive power. One of the fifth and sixth lenses is made of plastic and has aspherical surfaces on opposite sides, and the other is made of glass. The portion on the demagnifying side of the sixth lens is a telecentric portion. Conditional Expression (1) below is satisfied,122<0.9 (1)where SD12 represents the effective radius of the stop, and SD2 represents the effective radius of the second lens.
