An optical lens
system for photographing, comprising four lens elements (E1, E2, E3, and E4), the four lens elements (E1, E2, E3, and E4) being, in order from an object side to an image side along an
optical path, a first lens element (E1), a second lens element (E2), a third lens element (E3), and a fourth lens element (E4), each of the four lens elements (E1, E2, E3, and E4) having an object side surface facing the object side and an image side surface facing the image side; wherein the first lens element (E1) has a positive
refractive index, the object side surface of the first lens element (E1) being convex in a paraxial region thereof, the second lens element (E2) having a positive
refractive index, the object side surface of the second lens element (E2) being convex in a paraxial region thereof, the third lens element (E3) having a negative
refractive index, the image side surface of the third lens element (E3) being concave in a paraxial region thereof, the image side surface of the fourth lens element (E4) being convex in a paraxial region thereof, and at least one surface of at least one lens element in the optical lens
system for photographing has at least one inversion point (P); wherein an
axial distance between the object side surface of the first lens element (E1) and the image side surface of the fourth lens element (E4) is TD, wherein an
axial distance between the image side surface of the fourth lens element (E4) and an image surface (
IMG) is BL, wherein a
focal length of the second lens element (E2) is f2, wherein a
focal length of the fourth lens element (E4) is f4, wherein a central thickness of the first lens element (E1) is CT1, wherein a central thickness of the second lens element (E2) is CT2, wherein a central thickness of the third lens element (E3) is CT3, wherein a
radius of curvature of the object side surface of the first lens element (E1) is R1, wherein a
