PURPOSE: To provide a photographing lens composed of two spherical lenses and can be used by the viewing angle of a standard lens having a half viewing angle of 15°-30°.

CONSTITUTION: This lens is composed of two spherical lenses arranging a negative meniscus lens 11 whose convex surface confronts the side of an object surface 13 in the front and a positive convex lens 12 in the rear. By representing the radii of curvature of the front and the rear surfaces of the meniscus lens 11 by r1, r2, the radius of curvature of the rear surface of the convex lens 12 by r4, the distance of air gap between two lenses by d2 and the focal distance of two lens system by (f), the conditions: 0.8<r1/r2<2.0, 0.6<r1/r4<2.0, 0.2<d2/f<1.0 are satisfied.
