Patent ID: 8179613

Claim:
An image pickup lens for forming a subject image on a photoelectric conversion section of a solid image pickup element, the image pickup lens comprising, in order from an object side thereof: a first lens having a positive refractive power with a convex surface on the object side; a second lens having a negative refractive power with a concave surface on an image side; a third lens having a positive refractive power with a convex surface on the image side; a fourth lens having a positive refractive power and a meniscus shape with a convex surface on the image side; and a fifth lens having a negative refractive power with a concave surface on the image side, wherein the surface of the fifth lens on the image side is aspherical, and an inflection point is located at a position other than an intersection point with an optical axis; an aperture stop is located closer to the image than the first lens, and the conditional expression (1) is met: 0.8 <f 3/ f 1<2.6 (1) wherein f 3 is a focal distance of the third lens and f 1 is a focal distance of the first lens.
