Abstract

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