Abstract

An imaging lens system and an imaging device capable of capturing a long-distance image in a central direction of an optical axis with high resolution and capturing a neighborhood image at a wide angle. An imaging lens system includes, in order from an object side: a first lens group including at least a first lens, a second lens, and a third lens; an aperture stop (STOP); and a second lens group including two or more lens and having a positive combined power, an image side of the first lens has a concave surface, a combined focal length of the first lens and the second lens is negative, the third lens is a lens having a positive power, an object side of the first lens has an aspherical surface, and an incident-side surface (object side) of the first lens has an inflection point.

Claims (30)

1. An imaging lens system comprising, in order from an object side:

a front group including a first lens, a second lens, and a third lens;

an aperture stop; and

a rear group including two or more lenses and having a positive combined power, wherein

an image side of the first lens has a concave surface facing to an image side of the imaging lens system,

a combined power of the first lens and the second lens is negative,

the third lens is a lens having a positive power,

an object side of the first lens has an aspherical surface, and

an incident-side surface (object side) of the first lens has an inflection point, wherein the first lens is closest to an object side in the front group, and

the imaging lens system satisfies

0.31≤ L 1 H/L 1 R≤ 0.65, and

L 1 N≥ 1.75, where

L 1 H is a distance from an optical axis to an inflection point in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis of the first lens,

L 1 R is an effective radius of the incident-side surface of the first lens, and

L 1 N is a refractive index of the first lens at a d-line.

2. The imaging lens system according to claim 1 , wherein

the imaging lens system satisfies

0.03≤ L 1SAG/ L 1 R

where L 1 SAG is sag amount at an inflection point on the incident-side surface of the first lens.

3. The imaging lens system according to claim 1 , wherein the imaging lens system is a wide angle lens having an angle of view of 80 degrees or more.

4. The imaging lens system according to claim 1 , wherein the first lens is a concave meniscus lens having a convex shape on the object side facing to an object side of the imaging lens system.

5. The imaging lens system according to claim 1 , wherein the imaging lens system satisfies

L 1 V≥ 38

where L 1 V is an Abbe number of the first lens at the d-line.

6. The imaging lens system according to claim 1 , wherein an image side of a lens closest to an image side in the rear group is an aspherical surface having a concave shape facing to the image side of the imaging lens system.

7. The imaging lens system according to claim 1 , wherein a lens closest to an object side in the rear group has a positive power.

8. The imaging lens system according to claim 1 , wherein the rear group includes a cemented lens.

9. An imaging device comprising:

an imaging lens system according to claim 1 ; and

an imaging element for capturing an image formed in the imaging lens system.
