To lower the price and secure sufficient performance although the lens system consists of five elements.

The photographic lens consists 5-element constitution formed of a concave lens 1 made of glass, a lens 2 made of plastic, a convex lens 3 made of glass, a concave lens 4 made of glass, and a convex lens 5 in order of an object side; and the 2nd plastic lens 2 is composed of a powerless meniscus lens and its image-side surface is made aspherical. Therefore, the influence of environmental changes of temperature, humidity, etc., is not exerted because of the 2nd powerless lens 2 and stable characteristics are obtained; and the aspherical surface of this 2nd lens 2 compensates a large spherical aberration and a comatic aberration generated by the image-side surface of the 3rd convex lens 3 to reduce the load of aberration compensation on the glass-made lenses which are formed in easy-to-process shapes to greatly lower the cost inspite of the 5-element lens constitution.
