The present invention is an
imaging lens in which various aberrations are favorably corrected, the optical length is short, and a sufficient back focus is secured. The
imaging lens is constituted by arranging a first lens L1, an aperture diaphragm S1, a second lens L2, and a third lens L3 in succession from the object side to the image side. The first lens L1 is a lens having a positive refractive power and a
meniscus shape in which the convex surface faces the object side, the second lens L2 is a lens having a negative refractive power and a
meniscus shape in which the convex surface faces the image side, and the third lens L3 is a lens in which the convex surface faces the object side. The
imaging lens satisfies the following conditions: 0.35<r1 / r2<0.45 (1) 0.07<D2 / f<0.1 (2) 0.01<D4 / f<0.04 (3) 1.00<d / f<1.30 (4) 0.3<bf / f<0.5 (5) where f is the combined
focal length of the imaging lens, r1 is the
radius of curvature (axial
radius of curvature) of the object-side surface of the first lens L1 in the vicinity of the
optical axis, r2 is the
radius of curvature (axial
radius of curvature) of the image-side surface of the first lens L1 in the vicinity of the
optical axis, D2 is the distance between the first lens L1 and second lens L2, D4 is the distance between the second lens L2 and third lens L3, d is the distance (atmospheric) from the object-side surface of the first lens L1 to the imaging surface, and bf is the distance (atmospheric) from the image-side surface of the third lens to the imaging surface.
