Abstract

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

Claims (31)

1. An imaging lens comprising, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens with positive refractive power having an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region, a second lens with negative refractive power in a paraxial region, a third lens with negative refractive power having an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region, a fourth lens having an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region, a fifth lens with negative refractive power in a paraxial region, and a sixth lens with positive refractive power having an image-side surface being convex in a paraxial region, wherein the following conditional expressions (1), (2) and (3) are satisfied:

11.00< vd 2<27.00  (1)

−1.55< f 3/ f<− 0.20  (2)

0.25< r 3/ f< 5.00  (3)

where

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

f3: a focal length of the third lens,

f: a focal length of the overall optical system of the imaging lens, and

r3: a paraxial curvature radius of an object-side surface of the second lens, and

wherein an image-side surface of said first lens is convex in a paraxial region.

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

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

9.00<( D 6/ f 6)×100  (4)

where

D6: a thickness along the optical axis of the sixth lens, and

f6: a focal length of the sixth lens.

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

0.50< f 6/ f 1<2.60  (5)

where

f6: a focal length of the sixth lens, and

f1: a focal length of the first lens.

5. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression (6) is satisfied:

1.00< r 2/ r 12<7.50  (6)

where

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

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

6. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein the following conditional expression (7) is satisfied:

0.10< r 8/ f< 0.55  (7)

where

r8: a paraxial curvature radius of an image-side surface of the fourth lens, and

f: a focal length of the overall optical system of the imaging lens.
