Abstract

An imaging lens with five lenses arranged as, in order from the object side, a first lens with a positive refractive power and a meniscus shape with a convex surface directed toward the object side, a second lens with a biconcave shape, a third lens with a negative refractive power and a meniscus shape with a convex surface toward the image side, a fourth lens with a positive refractive power, and a fifth lens with a negative refractive power, where an image-side surface of the fifth lens includes a concave surface and at least one inflection point, and a predetermined conditional expression is satisfied that achieves a high imaging performance from a central angle of view to a peripheral angle of view, while achieving reduction of an entire length of the lens.
