Imaging lens

Abstract

There is provided a compact imaging lens configured to properly correct aberrations. The imaging lens includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens L1 with positive refractive power, a second lens L2 with negative refractive power, a third lens L3 with positive refractive power, a fourth lens L4 with positive refractive power, a fifth lens L5, a sixth lens L6, a seventh lens L7 with positive refractive power, and an eighth lens L8 with negative refractive power. The eighth lens L8 is formed in a shape of a meniscus lens in a paraxial region, and has an aspheric image-side surface having at least one inflection point. In addition, the following conditional expressions are satisfied: −5.00<f2/f<−2.00 10.00<f4/f<25.00 where f: a focal length of the overall optical system of the imaging lens, f2: a focal length of the second lens, and f4: a focal length of the fourth lens.
