An original reading lens includes a four-group, five-element lens
configuration including three positive lenses and two negative lenses,
wherein the positive lens is constructed by a glass material of low
dispersion, and the negative lens is constructed by a glass material of
high dispersion, a partial dispersion .theta. gd is defined by .theta.
gd=(ng-nd)/(nF-nc) by a refractive index nd of d line (587.56 nm), a
refractive index nc of c line (656.27 nm), a refractive index nF of F
line (486.13 nm), and a refractive index ng of g line (435.83 nm), a
straight line connecting a coordinate point of a reference glass material
K7, K7 (.theta. gd, .nu. d) and a coordinate point of a reference glass
material F2, F2 (.theta. gd, .nu. d) on a plane with a coordinate system
including the partial dispersion .theta. gd and an Abbe number .nu. d as
orthogonal two axes is adopted as a reference line, and a partial
dispersion deviation .delta. .theta. gd which is the deviation from the
reference line of the partial dispersion .theta. gd of the material is
positive in one or more positive lens.
