Imaging lens
An imaging lens includes a first lens group; a second lens group; and a third lens group. The first lens group includes a stop, a first lens having positive refractive power, a second lens, and a third lens. The second lens group includes a fourth lens and a fifth lens. The third lens group includes a sixth lens and a seventh lens. The first to seventh lenses are arranged on an optical axis with a space in between respectively. The fifth lens is formed in a meniscus shape near an optical axis thereof. The seventh lens is formed in a shape so that a surface thereof on the image plane side has a positive curvature radius. The surface of the seventh lens on the image plane side is formed in an aspheric shape having at least one inflexion point. The third lens has a specific Abbe's number.
