Abstract

Provided are a photographic lens and an electronic apparatus including the photographic lens. The photographic lens includes a first lens that has a positive refractive power and includes a biconvex lens, a second lens that has a negative refractive power, a third lens that has a positive refractive power, and a fourth lens that has a negative refractive power. The first, second, third, and fourth lenses are arranged sequentially from an object-side to an image-side.
