Image pickup lens

An image pickup lens composed of five lenses for a solid imaging element, comprising, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens having a positive refractive power with a convex surface facing the object side, a second lens having a negative refractive power, a third lens as a meniscus lens with a concave surface facing the image side, a fourth lens as a meniscus lens with a convex surface facing the image side, and a fifth lens having both sides formed as aspherical surfaces and having a negative refractive power with a concave surface facing the object side and the image side near an optical axis;

• wherein conditional expressions (9) and (12) below are satisfied:
• 1.0<|(r3+r4)/(r3−r4)|<1.3 (9)
• −1.1<f2/f<−0.7 (12)
• where r3 represents a curvature radius of an object-side surface of the second lens, r4 represents a curvature radius of an image-side surface of the second lens, f represents a focal length of the overall optical system of the image pickup lens, and f2 represents a focal length of the second lens.
