Abstract

An imaging lens includes a first lens group having positive refractive power and a second lens group having negative refractive power, arranged in this order from an object side to an image plane side. The first lens group includes a first lens having positive refractive power, a second lens having positive refractive power, and a third lens having negative refractive power. The second lens group includes a fourth lens having positive refractive power, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens having negative refractive power. The first lens and second lens have specific focal lengths. The first to third lenses have specific Abbe's numbers.
