Abstract

An imaging lens includes, in order from an object side, a first positive lens having a convex object-side surface, a second negative lens having a concave image-side surface, a third positive double-sided aspheric lens, a fourth positive lens having a convex image-side surface, and a fifth negative double-sided aspheric lens having a concave image-side surface, wherein the fifth lens image-side surface has pole-change points off an optical axis; and conditional expressions below are satisfied: 0.80<ih/ f <1.00  (1) 0.6< TTL /2ih<0.75  (2) 2.3< f 3/ f <10.3  (3) 0.5< f 1/ f 4<1.4  (4) where f denotes focal length of the imaging lens overall optical system, f 1 , f 3 and f 4 denote focal lengths of the first, third and fourth lenses respectively, ih denotes maximum image height, and TTL denotes distance on the optical axis from the first lens object-side surface to the image plane.
