Patent ID: 8810923

Claim:
An image capturing lens substantially consisting of five lenses, composed of: a first lens having a convex surface on the object side near the optical axis and a positive refractive power near the optical axis with an aspherical shape on at least one surface; a second lens having a concave surface on the image side near the optical axis and a negative refractive power near the optical axis with an aspherical shape on at least one surface; a third lens having a positive refractive power near the optical axis with an aspherical shape on at least one surface; a fourth lens having a negative refractive power near the optical axis with an aspherical shape on at least one surface; and a fifth lens which is a meniscus lens having a concave surface on the image side near the optical axis and a negative refractive power near the optical axis with an aspherical shape on at least one surface, arranged in this order from the object side, wherein the image capturing lens is configured to satisfy conditional expressions given below: 2< f 3/ f 1<20 (2); 1.10<| f 4/ f 5| (3); and ν d 4<35 (4), where: νd4 is an Abbe number of the fourth lens with respect to the d-line; f1 is a focal length of the first lens; f3 is a focal length of the third lens; f4 is a focal length of the fourth lens; and f5 is a focal length of the fifth lens.
