Patent number: 7995292Abstract: An image pickup lens includes, in order from an object side, a first lens element having a positive refractive power and a convex surface facing the object side, an aperture stop adjusting the amount of light, a second lens element having a negative refractive power, a third lens element having a positive refractive power and a concave surface facing the object side, and a fourth lens element having a negative refractive power. In the image pickup lens, the following conditional expressions are satisfied, 0.6<|f2/f|<1.8 0?f2/R4<1.7 where f denotes a focal length of an entire lens system, f2 denotes a focal length of the second lens element, and R4 denotes a curvature radius of an object-side surface of the second lens element.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2009Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Yoshitomo Onoda
