A high performance medium speed fish eye lens system is provided, capable of compensating all aberrations except the distortion at an aperture ratio of at least 1:4.2. The lens system consists of a first lens group (G1) of negative refractive power including two negative lenses curved towards the object, a middle positive lens component (G2) curved towards the object, which lens component can be composed of a cemented doublet, and a last lens group (G3) of positive refractive power consisting of a cemented doublet or a cemented doublet and an additional positive single lens both curved towards the image.
