Abstract
A lens system primarily for a copier is a reflex, plastic and glass lens design enabling lower manufacturing costs with a higher degree of optical correction than a comparable all glass straight through design of similar optical characteristics. In the preferred embodiment, selected of the plastic elements is formed with aspheric surfaces.
