The longitudinal aberration of the camera lens LA in embodiment 1 is shown in FIG. 3, the lateral color is shown in FIG. 4, and the field curvature and distortion are shown in FIG. 5.

As shown in table 5, the Embodiment 2 meets the conditions (1)-(9).


The longitudinal aberration of the camera lens LA in Embodiment 2 is shown in FIG. 7, the lateral color is shown in FIG. 8, and the field curvature and distortion are shown in FIG. 9. As shown in FIGS. 7-9, the camera lens LA in embodiment 2 has Fno=2.40, 2ω=100.0°, TTL=3.940 mm wide-angle and small size, so it is not difficult to understand why it has excellent optical properties.


Table 5 shows various values of the embodiments and the values corresponding with the parameters which are already specified in the conditions (1)-(9). In addition, numerical units shown in Table 5 are 2 ω (°), f(mm), f1(mm), f2(mm), f3(mm), f4(mm), f5(mm), TTL(mm), LB(mm), IH(mm).
