Abstract

An imaging lens substantially consisting of six lenses, composed of a first lens having a positive refractive power and a convex surface on the object side, a second lens having a negative refractive power and a concave surface on the image side, a third lens having a positive refractive power and a convex surface on the object side, a fourth lens having a positive refractive power, a fifth lens having a negative refractive power and a concave surface on the image side, and a sixth lens having a negative refractive power with the image side surface having an aspherical shape which is concave on the image side near the optical axis and convex in a peripheral region.

Claims (42)

1. An imaging lens substantially consisting of six lenses, composed of:

a first lens having a positive refractive power and a convex surface on the object side;

a second lens having a negative refractive power and a concave surface on the image side;

a third lens having a positive refractive power and a convex surface on the object side;

a fourth lens having a positive refractive power;

a fifth lens having a negative refractive power and a concave surface on the image side; and

a sixth lens having a negative refractive power with the image side surface having an aspherical shape which is concave on the image side near the optical axis and convex in a peripheral region, arranged in this order from the object side.

2. The imaging lens of claim 1 , wherein the third lens is a bi-convex lens.

3. The imaging lens of claim 1 , wherein the image side surface of the fifth lens has an aspherical shape which is concave on the image side near the optical axis and convex in a peripheral region.

4. The imaging lens of claim 1 , further satisfying a conditional expression given below:

vd 2<35  (2),

where vd2 is an Abbe number of the second lens with respect to the d-line.

5. An imaging apparatus provided with the imaging lens of claim 1 .

6. The imaging lens of claim 1 , wherein an aperture stop is disposed on the object side of the object side surface of the second lens.

7. The imaging lens of claim 6 , wherein the aperture stop is disposed on the object side of the object side surface of the first lens.

8. The imaging lens of claim 1 , wherein the lens satisfies a conditional expression given below:

vd 5<35  (1),

where, vd5 is an Abbe number of the fifth lens with respect to the d-line.

9. The imaging lens of claim 8 , further satisfying a conditional expression given below:

vd 5<33  (1-1).

10. The imaging lens of claim 9 , further satisfying a conditional expression given below:

vd 5<31  (1-2).

11. The imaging lens of claim 1 , further satisfying a conditional expression given below:

0.4 <f 6 /f 2<1.3  (4),

where:

f2 is a focal length of the second lens; and

f6 is a focal length of the sixth lens.

12. The imaging lens of claim 11 , further satisfying a conditional expression given below:

0.5 <f 6 /f 2<1.2  (4-1).

13. The imaging lens of claim 12 , further satisfying a conditional expression given below:

0.55 <f 6 /f 2<1.1  (4-2).

14. The imaging lens of claim 1 , further satisfying a conditional expression given below:

0.9 <f 3 /f 1  (3),

where:

f1 is a focal length of the first lens; and

f3 is a focal length of the third lens.

15. The imaging lens of claim 14 , further satisfying a conditional expression given below:

1.0 <f 3 /f 1<10  (3-1).

16. The imaging lens of claim 15 , further satisfying a conditional expression given below:

1.0 <f 3 /f 1<8  (3-2).

17. The imaging lens of claim 16 , further satisfying a conditional expression given below:

1.0 <f 3 /f 1<5  (3-3).
