An optical lens comprises: a first lens having a negative focal power; a second lens; a third lens; a fourth lens; a fifth lens, wherein the fourth lens and the fifth lens forms an achromatic lens group; and a sixth lens, wherein the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, and the sixth lens are sequentially disposed along a direction from an object side to an image side, wherein the first lens has at least one object surface facing the object side, and the object surface of the first lens is convex, and wherein the second lens has at least one image surface facing the image side, and the image surface of the second lens is convex so as to facilitate forming a concentric circle structure.

A multi-element imaging lens can be formed from five plastic elements, and an optional null-power or relatively low power sixth plastic element. The lens can use selected plastic materials to reduce a thermal focal shift. In the lens, negative refractive power elements can be formed from plastic materials having a relatively large negative refractive index variation with temperature, abbreviated as dn/dT, while positive refractive power elements can be formed from plastic materials having a relatively small negative dn/dT. Reducing the thermal focal shift, as disclosed, can eliminate the need for an auto-focusing device, such as a voice coil. Reducing the thermal focal shift, as disclosed, can also eliminate the need to use one or more glass elements to further reduce thermal focal shift, which can reduce cost for the lens.
