Abstract

A telephoto lens system has a convergent forward group and a divergent rearward group. The forward group includes a first lens which is a biconvex lens having its surface of greater curvature facing the object side, a second lens which is a biconcave lens having its surface of greater curvature facing the object side, and a third lens which is a positive meniscus lens having its convex surface facing the object side. The rearward group includes a fourth lens which is a concave lens having its surface of greater curvature facing the object side, and a fifth lens which is a biconvex lens. The lens system satisfies predetermined conditions.
