Imaging lens
In an imaging lens of the present invention, aberration is satisfactorily corrected, the optical length is short, and sufficient back focus is secured. The imaging lens of the present invention is constituted by arranging a first lens L 1 , an aperture diaphragm S 1 , a second lens L 2, and a third lens L 3 in succession from the object side to the image side.
1. An imaging lens comprising a first lens L 1 , an aperture diaphragm S 1 , a second lens L 2 , and a third lens L 3 , and constituted such that said first lens L 1 , said aperture diaphragm S 1 , said second lens L 2 , and said third lens L 3 are arranged in succession from the object side to the image side,
wherein said first lens L 1 is a resin lens having a positive refractive power and a meniscus shape in which the convex surface faces the object side,
said second lens L 2 is a resin lens having a positive refractive power and a meniscus shape in which the convex surface faces the image side, and
said third lens L 3 is a resin lens having a negative refractivity,
both surfaces of said first lens L 1 being aspheric, both surfaces of said second lens L 2 being aspheric, and both surfaces of said third lens L 3 being aspheric, and
said imaging lens satisfying the following conditions,

f is the focal length of the entire lens system,
r 1 is the radius of curvature (axial curvature radius) of the object side surface of the first lens L 1 in the vicinity of the optical axis,
r 2 is the radius of curvature (axial curvature radius) of the image side surface of the first lens Li in the vicinity of the optical axis,
D 2 is the distance between the first lens Li and second lens L 2 ,
D 3 is the thickness at the center of the second lens L 2 , and
d is the distance(in air) from the object side surface of the first lens LI to the image surface.
