Abstract

There is provided an imaging lens with excellent optical characteristics which satisfies demand of wide field of view and low F-number. An imaging lens comprising in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens with negative refractive power in a paraxial region, a second lens with positive refractive power having a convex object-side surface in a paraxial region, a third lens with positive refractive power in a paraxial region, a fourth lens, a fifth lens having a concave object-side surface in a paraxial region, and a sixth lens having a concave 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, a first lens with negative refractive power in a paraxial region,

a second lens with positive refractive power having a convex object-side surface in a paraxial region,

a third lens with positive refractive power in a paraxial region, a fourth lens,

a fifth lens having a concave object-side surface in a paraxial region, and

a sixth lens having a concave image-side surface in a paraxial region, wherein the following conditional expressions (1), (2) and (3) are satisfied:

0.20< vd 2/ vd 6<0.60  (1)

12.50 |f 6 |/D 6<90.00  (2)

2.50<( r 12 /r 2)/ D 6<7.00  (3)

where

vd2: an abbe number at d-ray of the second lens,

vd6: an abbe number at d-ray of the sixth lens,

f6: a focal length of the sixth lens,

D 6 : a thickness along the optical axis of the sixth lens,

r12: a paraxial curvature radius of an image-side surface of the sixth lens,

r2: a paraxial curvature radius of an image-side surface of the first lens, and

D 6 : a thickness along the optical axis of the sixth lens.

2. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein an image-side surface of said third lens is convex in the paraxial region.

3. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression (4) is satisfied:

5.25| f 6|/ f< 50.00  (4)

where

f6: a focal length of the sixth lens, and
