20 Claims

1. A camera module comprising:

a first lens; a second lens; a third lens; a fourth lens; a fifth lens; a sixth lens; a seventh lens; and an eighth lens arranged in order from a subject,

wherein the first lens includes a 1-1th surface, has positive (+) refractive power, and is convex toward the subject,

wherein the seventh lens includes a 7-1th surface facing the subject and including at least one inflection point,

wherein the eighth lens has negative (−) refractive power, includes an 8-1th surface facing the subject and formed as an aspherical surface, and includes an 8-2th surface opposite to the 8-1th surface, the 8-2th surface including at least one inflection point and is formed as an aspherical surface,

wherein the camera module is configured to meet conditional equation 1, conditional equation 2, and conditional equation 3,

wherein f denotes a composite focal length of the camera module, and f1 denotes a focal length of the first lens,

wherein TTL denotes a distance from an outermost surface of the camera module to an image plane, and IH denotes an image height at an effective diameter, and

[conditional equation 3]

50<L8 Vd<70

wherein L8 Vd denotes an Abbe number of the eighth lens.
