Abstract

There is provided an imaging lens with high-resolution which satisfies demand of the wide field of view, the low-profileness and the low F-number, and excellently corrects aberrations. An imaging lens comprises in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens having a convex surface facing the object side near an optical axis, a second lens, a third lens having negative refractive power near the optical axis, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, and an eighth lens having a concave surface facing the image side and the negative refractive power near the optical axis, wherein an image-side surface of said eighth lens is formed as an aspheric surface having at least one pole point in a position off the optical axis, said sixth lens has positive refractive power near the optical axis, an object-side surface of said seventh lens is a convex surface facing the object side near the optical axis, and a below conditional expression (1) is satisfied: 0.15< vd 7/ vd 8<0.55  (1) where vd7: an abbe number at d-ray of the seventh lens, vd8: an abbe number at d-ray of the eighth lens.
