This application relates to the field of optical imaging technologies, and discloses a lens system and an image photographing apparatus and device, so as to obtain a larger image on an imaging surface, thereby facilitating product miniaturization. The lens system includes a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, and a fifth lens that are sequentially arranged in an optic axis direction from an object side to an image side, where the first lens has a positive refractive power, the second lens has a negative refractive power, the third lens has a negative refractive power, the fourth lens has a positive refractive power, and the fifth lens has a negative refractive power and has a convex image-side surface.
