Abstract

An imaging optical system includes a positive first lens element having a convex surface on the object side, a negative second lens element having a concave surface on the image side, a third lens element, a positive fourth lens element, and a negative fifth lens element provided with at least one aspherical surface that has inflection points other than at an optical axis thereof. The following conditions (1) and (2) are satisfied:
−0.80<( r 11− r 12)/( r 11+ r 12)<−0.20  (1),

and
ν d 1>60  (2),

wherein r 11 and r 12 designate the radius of curvatures of surfaces on the object side and image side of the first lens element, respectively, and νd 1 designates the Abbe number with respect to the d-line of the first lens element.
