Abstract

An imaging lens substantially consists of five lenses consisting of, in order from the object side: a first lens having a positive refractive power and having a meniscus shape with the convex surface toward the object side; a second lens having a biconcave shape; a third lens having a positive refractive power and having a meniscus shape with the convex surface toward the image side; a fourth lens having a positive refractive power and having a convex surface toward the image side; and a fifth lens having a negative refractive power, wherein a predetermined conditional expression is satisfied.

Claims (65)

a fourth lens having a positive refractive power and having a convex surface toward the image side; and

a fifth lens having a negative refractive power,

wherein the conditional expression below is satisfied:

0.4< f/f 4<2  (1),

where f is a focal length of the entire system, and f 4 is a focal length of the fourth lens.

2. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the conditional expression below is further satisfied:

−3< f/f 5<−0.72  (3),

where f 5 is a focal length of the fifth lens.

3. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the conditional expression below is further satisfied:

−2< f/f 5<−1.1  (3-2),

where f 5 is a focal length of the fifth lens.

5. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fifth lens has a concave surface toward the image side.

6. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an image-side surface of the fifth lens has at least one inflection point.

7. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the conditional expression below is further satisfied:

0.05<( L 4 f−L 4 r )/( L 4 f+L 4 r )<2  (4),

where L 4 f is a paraxial radius of curvature of an object-side surface of the fourth lens, and L 4 r is a paraxial radius of curvature of an image-side surface of the fourth lens.

8. The imaging lens as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the conditional expression below is further satisfied:

0.12<( L 4 f−L 4 r )/( L 4 f+L 4 r )<1  (4-1),
