Abstract

There is provided an imaging lens with excellent optical characteristics which satisfies demand of the wide field of view, the low-profileness and the low F-number. An imaging lens comprises, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens having a convex surface facing the object side and positive refractive power near an optical axis, a second lens having negative refractive power near the optical axis, a third lens having aspheric surfaces on both sides, a fourth lens, and a fifth lens having a concave surface facing the image side and the negative refractive power near the optical axis, wherein an image-side surface of said fifth lens is formed as an aspheric surface having at least one pole point in a position off the optical axis, and predetermined conditional expressions are satisfied.

Claims (46)

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

a first lens having a convex surface facing the object side and positive refractive power near an optical axis,

a second lens having negative refractive power near the optical axis,

a third lens having aspheric surfaces on both sides,

a fourth lens, and

a fifth lens having a concave surface facing the image side and the negative refractive power near the optical axis, wherein an image-side surface of said fifth lens is formed as an aspheric surface having at least one pole point in a position off the optical axis, an image-side surface of said first lens is a concave surface facing the image side near the optical axis and below conditional expressions (4), (5) and (10) are satisfied:

0.55<( T 1/ f )×100<1.40  (4)

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

f2: a focal length of the second lens, and

f5: a focal length of the fifth lens.

2. The imaging lens according to claim 1 , wherein an object-side surface of said fifth lens is a convex surface facing the object side near the optical axis.
