Abstract

An imaging lens substantially consists of, in order from an object side, five lenses of a first lens that has a positive refractive power and has a meniscus shape which is convex toward the object side, a second lens that has a negative refractive power, a third lens that has a negative refractive power, a fourth lens that has a positive refractive power, and a fifth lens that has a negative refractive power and has an aspheric shape of which an image side surface has an extreme point. Further, the imaging lens satisfies a predetermined conditional expression.

Claims (36)

1. An imaging lens consisting of, in order from an object side, five lenses of:

a first lens that has a positive refractive power and has a meniscus shape which is convex toward the object side;

a second lens that has a negative refractive power;

a third lens that has a negative refractive power;

a fourth lens that has a positive refractive power; and

a fifth lens that has a negative refractive power and has an aspheric shape of which an image side surface has an extreme point,

wherein the following conditional expression (1) is satisfied:

−1< f/f 45<−0.105  (1), where

f is a focal length of a whole system, and

f45 is a composite focal length of the fourth and fifth lenses.

2. The imaging lens, as defined in claim 1 , wherein among absolute values of respective focal lengths of the first to fifth lenses, the absolute value of the focal length of the third lens is the maximum.

3. The imaging lens, as defined in claim 1 , wherein an intersection point between an object side surface of the fourth lens and a principal ray with a maximum angle of view is positioned on the object side of an intersection point between the object side surface of the fourth lens and an optical axis.

4. The imaging lens, as defined in claim 1 , wherein an intersection point between an object side surface of the third lens and a principal ray with a maximum angle of view is positioned on the object side of an intersection point between the object side surface of the third lens and an optical axis.

5. The imaging lens, as defined in claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression is further satisfied:

0.02< D 6/ f< 0.3  (2), where

D6 is a thickness of the third lens on an optical axis, and

f is the focal length of the whole system.

6. The imaging lens, as defined in claim 1 , wherein the second lens is concave toward the image side.

7. An imaging apparatus comprising:

the imaging lens, as defined in claim 1 .

8. The imaging lens, as defined in claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression is further satisfied:

−0.9< f/f 45<−0.105  (1-1), where

f is the focal length of the whole system, and

f45 is the composite focal length of the fourth and fifth lenses.

9. The imaging lens, as defined in claim 8 , wherein the following conditional expression is further satisfied:

−0.8< f/f 45<−0.1  (1-2), where

f is the focal length of the whole system, and

f45 is the composite focal length of the fourth and fifth lenses.

10. The imaging lens, as defined in claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression is further satisfied:

0.03< D 6/ f< 0.2  (2-1), where

D6 is a thickness of the third lens on an optical axis, and

f is the focal length of the whole system.

11. The imaging lens, as defined in claim 10 , wherein the following conditional expression is further satisfied:

0.04< D 6/ f< 0.18  (2-2), where;

D6 is the thickness of the third lens on the optical axis, and

f is the focal length of the whole system.
