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 positive refractive power, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens with negative refractive power, wherein said first 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 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 third lens with positive or negative refractive power,

a fourth lens with positive refractive power,

a fifth lens, and

a sixth lens with negative refractive power,

wherein said first lens has an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region, and said sixth lens has an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region, and the following conditional expressions (1), (2), (3) and (4) are satisfied:

11.00< vd 3<26.00  (1)

0.10<( r 2/| r 6|)×100<100.00  (2)

0.50< r 11/( T 4+ D 5+ T 5)<6.75  (4)

where

vd3: an abbe number at d-ray of the third lens,

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

r5: a paraxial curvature radius of an object-side surface of the third lens,

r6: a paraxial curvature radius of an image-side surface of the third lens,

r11: a paraxial curvature radius of an object-side surface of the sixth lens,

T4: a distance along the optical axis from an image-side surface of the fourth lens to an object-side surface of the fifth lens,

D5: a thickness along the optical axis of the fifth lens, and

T5: a distance along the optical axis from an image-side surface of the fifth lens to an object-side surface of the sixth lens.

2 . The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein an object-side surface of said second lens is convex in a paraxial region.

3 . The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein an image-side surface of said second lens is concave in a paraxial region.

4 . The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein an image-side surface of said fourth lens is convex in a paraxial region.

5 . The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression (5) is satisfied:
