Image pickup lens for solid-state image pickup element

An image pickup lens for a solid-state image pickup element, comprising, in the order from an object side:

• a first lens, which has a convex surface facing the object side on an optical axis and has a positive refractive power;
• a second lens, which has a concave surface facing an image side on the optical axis and has a negative refractive power;
• a third lens;
• a fourth lens, which has a convex surface facing the image side on the optical axis and has a meniscus shape;
• and
• a fifth lens, which has a concave surface facing the image side on the optical axis and has a negative refractive power,
• wherein the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, and the fifth lens are lenses that have at least one aspherical surface;
• the image-side surface of the fifth lens has an aspherical shape that contains at least one inflection point between the center and the periphery of the lens;
• each of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, and the fifth lens is positioned without being joined on the surfaces facing each other;
• and
• the Abbe numbers of materials used for the first lens and the second lens satisfy conditional expressions (1) and (2) below:
• 45<ν1<90 (1)
• 22<ν2<35 (2)
• where ν1 is the Abbe number for d-line of the first lens, and ν2 is the Abbe number for d-line of the second lens.
