Patent attributes
The imaging lens is provided and includes: in order from the object side, a negative first lens whose concave surface is directed toward the image side; a second lens of a planoconcave lens whose flat surface is directed toward the object side or a biconcave lens whose surface having a larger absolute value of radius of curvature is directed toward the object side; a third biconvex lens; a stop; a positive fourth lens whose surface having a smaller absolute value of radius of curvature is directed toward the image side; and a cemented lens of a positive fifth lens of biconvex shape and a negative sixth lens of meniscus shape, the cemented lens having a positive refractive power, and an Abbe number ν3 at d-line of the third lens satisfies a conditional expression (1) ν3<43.
