Abstract

A wide-angle image pickup lens having small F-value, high resolution, and small distortion is provided. The image pickup lens is configured from, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens having a positive refractive power with a concave surface facing the object side, an aperture stop, a second lens having a negative refractive power with a concave surface facing the image side, a third lens having a positive refractive power, a fourth lens having a positive refractive power with a concave surface facing the object side, and a fifth lens having a negative refractive power with a concave surface facing the image side.

Claims (44)

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

a first lens having a positive refractive power with a concave surface facing the object side;

an aperture stop;

a second lens having a negative refractive power with a concave surface facing the image side;

a third lens having a positive refractive power;

a fourth lens having a positive refractive power with a concave surface facing the object side; and

a fifth lens having a negative refractive power with a concave surface facing the image side.

2. The image pickup lens according to claim 1 , satisfying a following conditional expression:

−70.0 <r 1 /f< 0  (1)

where

r 1 : curvature radius of object side surface of first lens

f: focal length of overall optical system.

3. The image pickup lens according to claim 1 , satisfying following conditional expressions:

−1.20 <r 2 /r 3<−0.40  (2)

1.56< r 3 /r 4<3.0  (3)

where

r 2 : curvature radius of image side surface of first lens

r 3 : curvature radius of object side surface of second lens

r 4 : curvature radius of image side surface of second lens.

4. The image pickup lens according to claim 1 , satisfying a following conditional expression:

−2.0< r 8 /r 10<−0.63  (4)

where

r 8 : curvature radius of image side surface of fourth lens

r 10 : curvature radius of image side surface of fifth lens.

5. The image pickup lens according to claim 1 , satisfying a following conditional expression:

1.0< r 1 /r 2<120.  (5)

6. The image pickup lens according to claim 1 , satisfying a following conditional expression:

0.50< r 3 /f< 1.20.  (6)

7. The image pickup lens according to claim 2 , satisfying following conditional expressions:

−1.20 <r 2 /r 3<−0.40  (2)

1.56< r 3 /r 4<3.0  (3)

where

r 2 : curvature radius of image side surface of first lens

r 3 : curvature radius of object side surface of second lens

r 4 : curvature radius of image side surface of second lens.

8. The image pickup lens according to claim 2 , satisfying a following conditional expression:

−2.0< r 8 /r 10<−0.63  (4)

where

r 8 : curvature radius of image side surface of fourth lens

r 10 : curvature radius of image side surface of fifth lens.

9. The image pickup lens according to claim 2 , satisfying a following conditional expression:

1.0< r 1 /r 2<120.  (5)

10. The image pickup lens according to claim 2 , satisfying a following conditional expression:

0.50< r 3 /f< 1.20.  (6)
