Abstract

A telephoto lens system having a relatively large aperture is composed of six lenses collected into four lens members, successively arranged, from the object side of the system to the image side, as follows: a first lens member including a positive lens whose convex surface faces the object side; a second lens member including a negative meniscus lens whose convex surface faces the object side and, a positive meniscus lens cemented to the negative meniscus lens; a third lens member including a positive lens whose convex surface faces the image side, and a biconcave lens cemented to the positive lens; and a fourth lens member consisting of a positive lens. The aberrations of the telephoto lens system of the invention are reduced even though the aperture is relatively larger than the apertures of prior art lens.
