Abstract

There is provided an imaging lens with excellent optical characteristics which satisfies demand of a low profile and a 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 a convex object-side surface in a paraxial region, a second lens with negative refractive power in a paraxial region, a third lens with negative refractive power in a paraxial region, a fourth lens with positive refractive power in a paraxial region, and a fifth lens with negative refractive power having a convex image-side surface in a paraxial region, and predetermined conditional expressions are satisfied.

Claims (42)

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