Abstract

There is provided a compact imaging lens which meets demand of low-profileness, reduction in telephoto ratio and low F-number, and properly corrects aberrations. An imaging lens comprising in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens having a convex surface facing the image side near an optical axis, and a fifth lens having positive refractive power, wherein a below conditional expression (1) is satisfied: 0.64< TTL/f <1.0  (1) where f: focal length of the overall optical system of the imaging lens, and TTL: distance along the optical axis from an object-side surface of the first lens to an image plane.
