An imaging lens is provided in which a total angle of view is 150 degrees or more, and which exhibits a high-image quality, is compact, is inexpensive, and keeps a stable quality under a harsh environment in an on-board camera or the like. An imaging lens includes a first lens having a negative refracting power and having a meniscus shape in which a convex surface is directed toward an object side; a second lens having a negative refracting power and having a meniscus shape in which a convex surface is directed toward the object side; a third lens having a positive refracting power and having bi-convex shape; an aperture stop; a fourth lens having a positive refracting power and having a bi-convex shape; a fifth lens having a negative refracting power and having a bi-concave shape; and a sixth lens having a positive refracting power and having a bi-convex shape, the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the aperture stop, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, and the sixth lens being arranged in order from the object side to an image surface side. Thus, the imaging lens includes six groups and six sheets of independent lenses as a whole, has a total angle of view of 150 degrees or more, and fulfills predetermined conditional expressions.

Imaging lens

An imaging lens includes a first lens having a negative refracting power and having a meniscus shape; a second lens having a negative refracting power and having a meniscus shape; a third lens having a positive refracting power and having a meniscus shape; an aperture stop; a fourth lens having a positive refracting power and having a bi-convex shape; a fifth lens having a negative refracting power and having a bi-concave shape; and a sixth lens having a positive refracting power and having a bi-convex shape The imaging lens has a total angle of view of 150 degrees or more, and fulfills predetermined conditional expressions.

An image pickup lens includes, in order from an object side, a first lens element having a positive refractive power and a convex surface facing the object side, an aperture stop adjusting the amount of light, a second lens element having a negative refractive power, a third lens element having a positive refractive power and a concave surface facing the object side, and a fourth lens element having a negative refractive power. In the image pickup lens, the following conditional expressions are satisfied,0.6&#x3c;|2/|&#x3c;1.80&#x2266;2/4&#x3c;1.7where f denotes a focal length of an entire lens system, fdenotes a focal length of the second lens element, and Rdenotes a curvature radius of an object-side surface of the second lens element.

Image pickup lens and image pickup apparatus

An image pickup lens includes: a first lens having a positive refracting power; an aperture stop for adjusting the amount of light; a second lens having a concave face directed to the object side and having a negative refracting power; a third lens having a concave face directed to the object side and having a positive refracting power; and a fourth lens having a negative refracting power; the first lens, aperture stop, second lens, third lens, and fourth lens being disposed in order from the object side.

An imaging lens includes, in order from an object side, a first lens with a positive refractive power having a biconvex shape; an aperture stop having a predetermined aperture diameter; a second lens with a positive refractive power having a concave surface on the object side, at least one of the object-side surface and an image-plane-side surface of the second lens being aspherical; and a third lens with a negative refractive power having a concave surface on the object side and an aspherical surface with an inflection point in an effective-diameter area on the image-plane side, whereby aberrations can be effectively corrected, the total length of the lens system can be reduced to reduce the overall size, in particular the thickness, and a shutter can be readily accommodated.
