Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An imaging lens consists of five lenses consisting of, in order from the object side, a first lens having a positive refractive power and having a shape with a convex surface toward the object side, a second lens having a biconcave shape, a third lens having a biconvex shape, a fourth lens having a positive refractive power, and a fifth lens having a negative refractive power, having a shape with a concave surface toward the image side, and having at least one inflection point on the image-side surface thereof. The imaging lens satisfies a given condition expression.
