Abstract

There is provided an imaging lens including a first lens having a positive refracting power, a second lens having a concave surface on an object side and having a negative refracting power, and a third lens having a positive refractive power and a meniscus shape having a convex surface on the object side and at a vicinity of an optical axis, in order from the object side. The imaging lens satisfies conditional equations below. f designates a focal length of the total system, f 1 designates a focal length of the first lens, D 2 designates an interval between the first lens and a second lens on an optical axis, ν 123 designates an average of Abbe numbers of the first lens, the second lens and the third lens, and ν 2 designates the Abbe number of the second lens. 0.7< f 1/ f <1.3  (1) 0.25< D 2/ f <0.50  (2) 55<ν123  (3) |ν123−ν2|<5  (4)

Claims (26)

1. An imaging lens comprising: in order from an object side of the imaging lens,

a first lens having a positive refracting power;

a second lens having a concave surface on the object side and having a negative refracting power; and

a third lens having a positive refractive power and a meniscus shape having a convex surface on the object side and at a vicinity of an optical axis thereof,

wherein at least one surface of the first lens, the second lens and the third lens is aspherical, and the imaging lens satisfies conditional equations:

0.7< f 1/ f< 1.3  (1)

0.25< D 2/ f< 0.50  (2)

55<ν123  (3)

|ν123−ν2|<5  (4)

0.3<| f 2/ f|< 1.0  (5)

wherein

f is a focal length of the imaging lens;

f 1 is a focal length of the first lens;

f 2 is a focal length of the second lens;

D 2 is an interval between the first lens and the second lens on the optical axis

ν 123 is an average of Abbe numbers of the first lens, the second lens and the third lens; and

ν 2 is an Abbe number of the second lens.

2. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the first lens has a convex surface on the object side and at a vicinity of the optical axis thereof, and at least one of an object-side surface and an image-side surface of the first lens is a diffracting surface.

3. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , further satisfying conditional equations:

0.5< f 3/ f< 1.0  (6)

wherein

f 3 is a focal length of the third lens.

4. The imaging lens according to claim 2 , further satisfying conditional equations:

0.5< f 3/ f< 1.0  (6)

wherein

f 3 is a focal length of the third lens.
