Abstract

An imaging lens substantially consists of six lenses of a negative first lens, a negative second lens, a positive third lens, a positive fourth lens, a negative fifth lens and a positive sixth lens in this order from an object side. When a curvature radius of an object-side surface of the fourth lens is R 8 , and a curvature radius of an image-side surface of the fourth lens is R 9 , and an Abbe number of the material of the third lens for d-line is νd 3 , and an Abbe number of the material of the fifth lens for d-line is νd 5 , the following conditional formulas (1) and (6) are satisfied: −0.61<(R8+R9)/(R8−R9)<0.44  (1); and 38.1<νd3+νd5<45.1  (6).

Claims (18)

1. An imaging lens consisting of six lenses of a negative first lens, a negative second lens, a positive third lens, a positive fourth lens, a negative fifth lens and a positive sixth lens in this order from an object side,

wherein Abbe numbers of materials of the first lens, the second lens, the fourth lens and the sixth lens for d-line are greater than or equal to 40,

wherein Abbe number of material of the fifth lens is less than or equal to 30; and

wherein the following conditional formulas are satisfied:

−0.075<( R 8+ R 9)/( R 8− R 9)<0.11  (1-2)

−1< f/R 5<1  (20), and

−2.0< f/R 3<1.5  (21-2)

where

R 8 : a curvature radius of an object-side surface of fourth lens,

R 9 : a curvature radius of an image-side surface of fourth lens,

f: a focal length of an entire system,

R 5 : a curvature radius of an object-side surface of the third lens, and

R 3 : a curvature radius of an object-side surface of the second lens.

2. The imaging lens, as defined in claim 1 , wherein the following conditional formula is satisfied:

−0.5< f/R 5<0.5  (20-2), where

f: a focal length of an entire system, and

R 5 : a curvature radius of an object-side surface of the third lens.

3. The imaging lens, as defined in claim 1 , where a stop is arranged between the third lens and the fourth lens.
