Abstract

An imaging lens system includes a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, and a seventh lens, sequentially disposed from an object side. A field of view (FOV) of the imaging lens system according to an embodiment is wider than 85 degrees and narrower than 160 degrees. In the imaging lens system according to an embodiment, a distance (TTL) from an object-side surface of the first lens to an imaging plane is greater than 6.0 mm and less than 9.0 mm.
