Abstract

There is provided an imaging lens with small telephoto ratio and excellent optical characteristics which satisfies demand of the downsizing, the low-profileness and the low F-number. An imaging lens comprises, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens with positive refractive power, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens being a double-sided aspheric lens, a fifth lens being a double-sided aspheric lens, and a sixth lens having a convex surface facing the image side, and a below conditional expression is satisfied: 0.60<TTL/ f <1.00 where TTL: a total track length, and f: a focal length of the overall optical system of the imaging lens.
