An aperture stop, a first lens having a positive power, a second lens having a negative power, a third lens having a positive power, and a fourth lens whose concave face is directed toward the image surface side and having a meniscus shape are disposed in order from the object side. The second and third lenses are cemented to each other. Further, focal length "f" of the entire system and total focal length "f23" of the second and third lenses satisfy the following conditional expression. |f/f23|<0.4
