Abstract

An image pickup lens system includes a first lens which is a concave lens having those radii of curvature of faces at the center thereof, which are not of the same sign, and a second lens which is a convex lens. The first face of at least the first lens is formed into an aspherical shape. The focal length of the entire lens system is set in a range of from 0.67 times the back focal length to 1.45 times the back focal length, and the focal length of the second lens is set in a range of 0.25 times the focal length of the first lens to 0.8 times the focal length of the first lens. Thus, it is possible to ensure the back focal length, while shortening the focal length of the image pickup lens system, and to easily produce the image pickup lens system.
