Macro lens system

A macro lens system comprising a first positive meniscus lens component having a convex surface on the object side, a second naegative cemented meniscus lens component consisting of a positive element and a negative element and having a convex surface on the object side, a third negative cemented meniscus lens component consisting of a positive element and a negative element and having a convex surface on the image side, and a fourth positive meniscus lens component having a convex surface on the image side, said macro lens system satisfying the following conditions:

• 1.7<n.sub.1, n.sub.6 ( 1)
• 50<.nu..sub.1, .nu..sub.6, 60<.nu..sub.2, .nu..sub.5 ( 2)
