Imaging lens
An imaging lens includes a first lens group and a second lens group, arranged in this order from an object side to an image plane side. The first lens group includes a first lens having negative refractive power, a second lens having negative refractive power, and a third lens. The second lens group includes a fourth lens and a fifth lens having negative refractive power. The first lens is formed in a shape so that a curvature radius of a surface thereof on the image plane side is positive. The fifth lens is formed in a shape so that a surface thereof on the image plane side is aspheric.
