An imaging lens system includes three lens groups having four lenses including a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, and a fourth lens arranged in order from an object side, and an aperture stop arranged between the first lens and the second lens. The second lens and the third lens are joined each other. The first lens is a negative meniscus lens having a convex surface at an object side. The second lens is a positive lens having a convex surface having a large curvature at an image side. The third lens is a negative lens having a concave surface having a large curvature at an object side. The fourth lens is a positive lens having a convex surface having a large curvature at an image side. The following conditions are satisfied: 1.4
