Abstract

An image capturing lens which substantially consists of five lenses, composed of a first aspherical lens having a convex surface on the object side and a positive refractive power; a second aspherical lens having a concave surface on the image side and a negative refractive power; a third aspherical lens having a positive refractive power near the optical axis; a fourth aspherical lens having a negative refractive power; and a fifth aspherical lens which is a meniscus lens having a concave surface on the image side and a negative refractive power, arranged in this order from the object side, and satisfies predetermined conditional expressions.

Claims (29)

1. An image capturing lens substantially consisting of five lenses, composed of:

a first lens is a meniscus lens having a convex surface on the object side near an optical axis and a positive refractive power near the optical axis with an aspherical shape on at least one surface;

a second lens having a concave surface on the image side near the optical axis and a negative refractive power near the optical axis with an aspherical shape on at least one surface;

a third lens having a positive refractive power near the optical axis with an aspherical shape on at least one surface;

a fourth lens having an aspherical shape on at least one surface; and

a fifth lens which is a meniscus lens having a concave surface on the image side near the optical axis and a negative refractive power near the optical axis with an aspherical shape on at least one surface, arranged in this order from the object side,

wherein the image capturing lens is configured to satisfy conditional expressions given below:

2< f 3/ f 1<20  (2);

1.10<| f 4/ f 5|  (3); and

νd4<35  (4),

νd2<35  (1)

where:

νd2 is an Abbe number of the second lens with respect to the d-line

νd4 is an Abbe number of the fourth lens with respect to the d-line;

f1 is a focal length of the first lens;

f3 is a focal length of the third lens;

f4 is a focal length of the fourth lens; and

f5 is a focal length of the fifth lens.

2. The image capturing lens of claim 1 , wherein an aperture stop is disposed on the object side of the first lens.

3. The image capturing lens of claim 1 , further satisfying a conditional expression given below:

2.2< f 3/ f 1<20  (2-1).

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

1.1<| f 4/ f 5|<50  (3-1).

5. The image capturing lens of claim 1 , further satisfying a conditional expression given below:

νd4<30  (4-1).

6. The image capturing lens of claim 1 , further satisfying a conditional expression given below:

νd2<30  (1-1),

where, νd2 is an Abbe number of the second lens with respect to the d-line.

7. An image capturing apparatus provided with the image capturing lens of claim 1 .
