Abstract

An imaging lens includes, in order from an object side, a first lens group having a positive power, an aperture diaphragm, and a second lens group having a positive or negative power. The first lens group includes, in order from the object side, a first lens which is a biconcave lens, a second lens that has a positive power and includes a convex image-side surface, and a third lens that has a positive power and includes a convex object-side surface. The second lens group includes, in order from the object side, a fourth lens that has a negative power and includes a concave image-side surface, and a fifth lens which is a biconvex lens. Each of the first to fifth lenses is a single spherical glass lens.

Claims (35)

1. An imaging lens comprising:

a first lens group having a positive power;

a stop; and

a second lens group having a positive or negative power,

wherein the first lens group, the stop, and the second lens group are arranged in this order from an object side,

the first lens group includes, in order from the object side,

a first lens, which is a biconcave lens,

a second lens that has a positive power and includes a convex image-side surface, and

a third lens that has a positive power and includes a convex object-side surface,

the second lens group includes, in order from the object side,

a fourth lens that has a negative power and includes a concave image-side surface, and

a fifth lens, which is a biconvex lens, and

each of the first to fifth lenses is a single spherical glass lens.

2. The imaging lens according to claim 1 ,

wherein an absolute value of a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the second lens is smaller than that of a curvature radius of an object-side surface of the second lens, and

an absolute value of a curvature radius of the object-side surface of the third lens is smaller than that of a curvature radius of an image-side surface of the third lens.

3. The imaging lens according to claim 1 ,

wherein the imaging lens satisfies the following conditional expression:

0.50 <f 13 /f< 1.1

where f indicates a focal length of an entire imaging lens system, and f 13 indicates a focal length of the first lens group.

4. The imaging lens according to claim 1 ,

wherein the imaging lens satisfies the following conditional expression:

−0.10 <f/f 45<0.35

where f indicates a focal length of an entire imaging lens system, and f 45 indicates a focal length of the second lens group.

5. The imaging lens according to claim 1 ,

wherein the imaging lens satisfies the following conditional expression:

−0.95 <f 4/ f 5<−0.70

where f 4 indicates a focal length of the fourth lens, and f 5 indicates a focal length of the fifth lens.

6. The imaging lens according to claim 1 ,

wherein the imaging lens satisfies the following conditional expression:

νd4<20

where νd 4 indicates the Abbe number of the fourth lens at the d-line.

7. An imaging apparatus comprising:

the imaging lens according to claim 1 ; and

an imaging device that converts an optical image formed by the imaging lens into an electric signal.
