Abstract

There is provided an imaging lens with excellent optical characteristics which satisfies demand of wide field of view, low-profileness and low F-number. An imaging lens comprises, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens with positive refractive power having an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region, a second lens with negative refractive power in a paraxial region, a third lens, a fourth lens being a double-sided aspheric lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens having an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region, and a seventh lens with negative refractive power having an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region, wherein the image-side surface of the seventh lens is an aspheric surface having at least one pole point in a position off the optical axis, and predetermined conditional expressions are satisfied.

Claims (50)
