Abstract

An image capturing lens system includes a first lens having negative refractive power, a second lens having positive refractive power while having a convex object-side surface, a third lens having positive refractive power, a fourth lens having positive refractive power, a fifth lens having negative refractive power with a concave object-side surface and a concave image-side surface, and a sixth lens having positive refractive power.

Claims (50)

1. An image capturing lens system comprising:

a first lens having a negative refractive power;

a second lens having a positive refractive power, and a convex object-side surface, and a convex image-side surface;

a third lens having a positive refractive power and a concave object-side surface;

a fourth lens having a positive refractive power;

a fifth lens having a negative refractive power, a concave object-side surface, and a concave image-side surface at an optical axis of the image capturing lens system; and

a sixth lens having a positive refractive power,

wherein the first to sixth lenses are sequentially disposed in ascending numerical order from an object side of the image capturing lens system toward an imaging plane of the image capturing lens system, and

wherein the image capturing lens system comprises no more than six lenses with refractive power.

2. The image capturing lens system of claim 1 , further comprising a stop disposed between the second lens and the third lens.

3. The image capturing lens system of claim 1 , wherein one lens of the third to sixth lenses is made of glass.

4. The image capturing lens system of claim 3 , wherein the one lens made of glass has a positive refractive power.

5. The image capturing lens system of claim 4 , wherein four or more lenses of the first to sixth lenses are made of plastic.

6. The image capturing lens system of claim 4 , wherein the following conditional expression is satisfied:

Gf/f< 2.0

where Gf is a focal length of the one lens formed of glass, and f is a focal length of the image capturing lens system.

7. The image capturing lens system of claim 1 , wherein the first lens has a convex object-side surface.

8. The image capturing lens system of claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression is satisfied:

0.7< BFL/S 8 S 13

where BFL is a distance from an image-side surface of the sixth lens to the imaging plane, and S8S13 is a distance from an object-side surface of the fourth lens to the image-side surface of the sixth lens.

9. The image capturing lens system of claim 8 , wherein the following conditional expressions are satisfied:

D 34< D 23

D 45< D 34,

where D23 is a distance from an image-side surface of the second lens to an object-side surface of the third lens, D34 is a distance from an image-side surface of the third lens to the object-side surface of the fourth lens, and D45 is a distance from an image-side surface of the fourth lens to an object-side surface of the fifth lens.

10. An image capturing lens system comprising:

a first lens having a refractive power;

a second lens having a refractive power and a concave image-side surface;

a third lens having a refractive power and a concave object-side surface at an optical axis of the image capturing lens system;

a fourth lens having a refractive power;

a fifth lens having a negative refractive power and comprising a concave image-side surface at the optical axis of the image capturing lens system;

a sixth lens having a refractive power; and

a stop disposed between the second lens and the third lens,

wherein the first to sixth lenses are sequentially disposed in ascending numerical order from an object side of the image capturing lens system toward an imaging plane of the image capturing lens system,

wherein the third lens or the fourth lens is made of glass,

wherein the following conditional expression is satisfied:

0.7< BFL/S 8 S 13

where BFL is a distance from an image-side surface of the sixth lens to an imaging plane, and S8S13 is a distance from an object-side surface of the fourth lens to an image-side surface of the sixth lens, and

wherein the first to sixth lenses are the only lenses having a refractive power in the image capturing lens system.

11. The image capturing lens system of claim 10 , wherein the first lens has a negative refractive power.

12. The image capturing lens system of claim 10 , wherein the third lens and the fourth lens each have a positive refractive power.

13. The image capturing lens system of claim 10 , wherein the following conditional expressions are satisfied:

f 3/ f< 2.0

f 4/ f< 2.0

where f is a focal length of the image capturing lens system, f3 is a focal length of the third lens, and f4 is a focal length of the fourth lens.

14. The image capturing lens system of claim 10 , wherein the following conditional expression is satisfied:

D 34< D 23

where D23 is a distance from an image-side surface of the second lens to an object-side surface of the third lens, and D34 is a distance from an image-side surface of the third lens to the object-side surface of the fourth lens.

15. The image capturing lens system of claim 10 , wherein the following conditional expression is satisfied:

D 45< D 34

where D34 is a distance from an image-side surface of the third lens to the object-side surface of the fourth lens, and D45 is a distance from an image-side surface of the fourth lens to an object-side surface of the fifth lens.
