Abstract

An optical lens system includes a first lens element of negative refractive power having a meniscus shape, a second lens element of positive refractive power having a convex image-side surface and disposed adjacent to the first lens element, a third lens element of positive refractive power having at least one aspheric surface and disposed adjacent to the second lens element, and a fourth lens element of negative refractive power having at least one aspheric surface and disposed adjacent to the third lens element.
