Abstract

An imaging lens system is provided an includes: in order from the object side, a first lens which has a negative power; a second lens which has a negative power; a third lens; a fourth lens which has a positive power; a fifth lens; and a sixth lens which has a positive power. The first lens is made of glass, and the second to sixth lenses are made of plastic. At least one lens surface of each of the second to sixth lenses is aspheric, and each of the third lens and the fifth lens is made of a material having an Abbe number of 45 or less at the d-line.

7 <L/f< 18  (4),

wherein

f is a focal length of the imaging lens system, and

L is a distance from an object side lens surface of the first lens to an imaging plane.

6. An imaging apparatus comprising:

an imaging lens system according to claim 1 ; and

an imaging device which converts an optical image formed by the imaging lens system into an electric signal.

7. An imaging lens system comprising: in order from an object side thereof,

a first lens which has a negative power and is a meniscus lens having a surface concave toward an image side of the imaging lens system;

a second lens which has a negative power and of which at least one lens surface is aspheric;

a third lens which has a positive power and in which at least an object side lens surface is aspheric, a central portion of the lens surface is convex, and the lens surface has a region, which has a larger positive power than the central portion, between the central portion and the peripheral portion within an effective diameter range;

a fourth lens which has a positive power and of which at least one lens surface is aspheric;

a fifth lens of which at least one lens surface is aspheric; and

a sixth lens which has a positive power and of which at least one lens surface is aspheric.

8. The imaging lens system according to claim 7 , wherein the following Conditional Expression (1) is satisfied:
