Abstract

An imaging lens is provided and includes: in order from an object side thereof, a first lens of a negative lens having a concave surface on an image side thereof and having at least one aspheric surface; a second lens of a positive lens having at least one aspheric surface; a stop; and a third lens of a positive lens having a convex surface on the image side thereof and at least one aspheric surface. The following Conditional Expressions (1) and (2) are satisfied. 1.5< vd 3/ vd 2  (1) 0.0<| f 1/ f 23|<0.5  (2) In which vd2 represents an Abbe number of the second lens at the d-line, vd3 represents an Abbe number of the third lens at the d-line, f1 represent a focal length of the first lens, and f23 represents a composite focal length of the second and third lenses.

Claims (45)

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

a first lens of a negative lens having a concave surface on an image side thereof and having at least one aspheric surface;

a second lens of a positive lens having at least one aspheric surface;

a stop; and

a third lens of a positive lens having a convex surface on the image side thereof and at least one aspheric surface,

wherein the following Conditional Expressions (1) and (2) are satisfied:

1.5 <vd 3 /vd 2  (1)

0.0 <|f 1 /f 23|<0.5  (2)

wherein

vd2 represents an Abbe number of the second lens at the d-line,

vd3 represents an Abbe number of the third lens at the d-line,

f1 represent a focal length of the first lens, and

f23 represents a composite focal length of the second and third lenses.

2. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the following Conditional Expression (3) is satisfied:

1.5 <|RX 2 |/|R 2|  (3)

wherein

|R2| represents an absolute value of a radius of curvature at the center of the image-side surface of the first lens, and

|RX2| represents an absolute value of a radius of curvature at an effective diameter edge of the image-side surface of the first lens.

3. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the following Conditional Expression (4) is satisfied:

0.8 <f 2 /f 3<2.2  (4)

wherein

f2 represents a focal length of the second lens, and

f3 represents a focal length of the third lens.

4. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the following Conditional Expression (5) is satisfied:

5.0 <L/f< 12.0  (5)

wherein

L represents a distance along an optical axis from an object-side surface of the first lens to an imaging plane of the imaging lens; and

f represents a focal length of the imaging lens.

5. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the first lens has an Abbe number of 40 or more at the d-line, the third lens has an Abbe number of 40 or more at the d-line, and the second lens has an Abbe number of 29 or less at the d-line.

6. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the following Conditional Expression (6) is satisfied:

1.0 <Bf/f< 2.5  (6)

wherein

Bf represents a distance along an optical axis from an image-side surface of a lens closest to the image side to an imaging plane of the imaging lens, and

f represents a focal length of the imaging lens.

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

D 1 /f< 4  (7)

wherein

f represents a focal length of the imaging lens, and

D1 represents a center thickness of the first lens.

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

0.5 <|R 4 /D 3|<20.0  (8)

wherein

R4 represents a radius of curvature of an image-side surface of the second lens, and

D3 represents a center thickness of the second lens.

9. An imaging apparatus comprising an imaging lens according to claim 1 .
