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, a second lens with negative refractive power, a third lens with positive or negative refractive power, a fourth lens with negative refractive power, a fifth lens with positive refractive power, and a sixth lens with negative refractive power, wherein said first lens is formed in a meniscus shape having an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region, said second lens has an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region, said sixth lens has an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region, and the predetermined conditional expressions are satisfied.

Claims (41)

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

a first lens with positive refractive power,

a second lens with negative refractive power,

a third lens with positive or negative refractive power,

a fourth lens with negative refractive power,

a fifth lens with positive refractive power, and

a sixth lens with negative refractive power,

wherein said first lens is formed in a meniscus shape having an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region, said second lens has an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region, said sixth lens has an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region, and the following conditional expressions (1), (2), (3), and (7) are satisfied:

f 4/ f← 13.00  (1)

0.10<( r 6/| f 3|)×100<55.00  (2)
