ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an electronic imaging system wherein an image pickup device is horizontally located while ensuring the space for a reflective member thereby achieving height, length and cost reductions. The imaging system comprises a taking lens and an image pickup device. The taking lens comprises a front lens group G1consisting of a negative lens component and a positive lens component and having positive refracting power and a rear lens group G2consisting of a negative lens element and a positive lens element and having positive refracting power, with an aperture stop S interposed between the front lens group G1and the rear lens group G2. The taking lens satisfies conditions (1) and (2).in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?2.8<fB/IH<4.5 (1)in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?2<SF<3 (2)in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?Here fBis back focus of the taking lens, IH is a length that is half the diagonal length of the effective plane of the electronic image pickup device, and SF is a shape factor for the negative lens component in the front lens group.
