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 positive refractive power, a third lens with negative refractive power, a fourth lens with positive refractive power, a fifth lens with positive refractive power, a sixth lens, and a seventh lens with negative refractive power, wherein said first lens has an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region, said second lens has an image-side surface being convex in a paraxial region, said third lens has an object-side surface being concave in a paraxial region, said fourth lens has an object-side surface being concave in a paraxial region, said sixth lens has an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region, and said seventh lens has an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region.

Claims (35)

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 positive refractive power,

a third lens with negative refractive power,

a fourth lens with positive refractive power,

a fifth lens with positive refractive power,

a sixth lens, and

a seventh lens with negative refractive power,

wherein said first lens has an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region, said second lens has an image-side surface being convex in a paraxial region, said third lens has an object-side surface being concave in a paraxial region, said fourth lens has an object-side surface being concave in a paraxial region, said sixth lens has an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region, and said seventh lens has an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region.

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

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

0.02<( D 6/| f 6|)×100<2.55  (1)

where
