ABSTRACT:
A scanning image-forming lens system is constructed by two lens groups composed of first and second lenses sequentially arranged from the side of a rotary polygon mirror to the side of a scanned face and having toric faces. The scanning image-forming lens system has a function for approximately providing a conjugate relation in geometrical optics between positions of the scanned face and a deflecting reflecting face of the rotary polygon mirror with respect to a cross scan-corresponding direction, and has and f.theta. function with respect to a main scan-corresponding direction. The first and second lenses are arranged such that the first and second lenses are respectively shifted from a reference optical axis by distances .DELTA..sub.1 and .DELTA..sub.2 in the main scan-corresponding direction. The distances .DELTA..sub.1 and .DELTA..sub.2, and focal lengths f.sub.1 and f.sub.2 of the first and second lenses with respect to the main scan-corresponding direction satisfy the following conditions:
