Patent ID: 7623305

Claim:
An image capturing lens comprising: in order from an object side, a first lens group having a negative refractive power; a stop; and a second lens group having a positive refractive power; said first lens group including, in order from the object side, a first lens in a meniscus shape having a convex surface which faces the object side and having a negative refractive power, and a second lens in a meniscus shape having a convex surface which faces the object side and having a positive refractive power, and said second lens group including, in order from the object side, a third lens in a double-convex shape having a positive refractive power, a fourth lens in a double-concave shape having a negative refractive power, and a fifth lens having a positive refractive power; wherein 0.9<f 3 /f<1.7, where f denotes an overall focal length of said image capturing lens, and f 3 denotes a focal length of said third lens of the second lens group.
