Abstract

An imaging lens includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens being a double-sided aspheric lens, a second lens, a third lens having positive refractive power, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens being a double-sided aspheric lens and having negative refractive power and a concave surface facing the image side near an optical axis, wherein an image-side surface of said sixth lens is an aspheric surface changing to the convex surface at a peripheral area, and a below conditional expression (1) is satisfied: −0.68<( N 1−1)/( r 1× f )×1000<0.68  (1) where N 1 : refractive index at d-ray of the first lens, r1: paraxial curvature radius of the object-side surface of the first lens, and f: focal length of an overall optical system.

Claims (61)
