Abstract

In order to attain an imaging lens whose resolution performance is totally excellent, the imaging lens is in a shape of rotation symmetry in an optical effective aperture, and an image height-MTF property of the imaging lens is designed such that a maximum MTF value of a peripheral region where the image height is greater than zero is greater than an MTF value of a center region where the image height is zero in at least one of a sagittal direction and a tangential direction. This makes it possible to totally maintain an excellent resolution performance of a product even in a case where the performance of the product becomes unstable due to a tolerance that occurs at the time of manufacturing the product.
