Abstract

An image pick-up lens system includes an aperture stop (10), a biconvex first lens (20), a second lens (30) having a concave surface on an object side, and a third lens (40) having a concave surface on an image side. The aperture stop (10), the first lens (20), the second lens (30) and the third lens (40) are aligned in that order from the object side to the image side. All lenses in the system are made from a plastic or resin material, and one of them has a diffraction grating formed on a surface. The system satisfies conditions (1)-(5) as disclosed, in order to provide compactness, cost-effectiveness and improved optical performance.
