## Abstract

Imaging lens comprises, in order from the object side, a first lens block having a convex and concave surfaces oriented toward the object and image side respectively, and having a positive power, and a second lens. An aperture stop can be located on the object side of the first lens block, a peripheral portion of the image side surface of the second lens has a positive power where: 0.62<fla/f<0.82 (1) −4.00<f1b/f<−1.11 (2) 0.70<D4/f<1.00 (3) with, fla: focal distance of object side lens portion of the first lens block; f1b: focal distance of an image side lens portion of the first lens block; D4: distance on the optical axis from the object side surface of the first lens block to the image side surface of the second lens; f: focal distance of the imaging lens total system.

## Claims

### Claim 1
