An optical lens system for taking image consisting of: an aperture stop; a first lens element with positive refractive power having a convex object-side surface; a plastic second lens element with positive refractive power having a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface, at least one of the object-side and the image-side surfaces of the second lens element being aspheric; and a plastic third lens element with positive refractive power having a convex object-side surface, at least one of the object-side and the image-side surfaces of the third lens element being aspheric. A focal length of the optical lens system for taking image is f, a focal length of the second lens element is f2, a focal length of the third lens element is f3, and at least one of the relations of f/f2 and f/f3 is larger than 0.1.
