Summary:A dual-focus switchable lens is provided and includes: in order from the object side, a first lens group having a negative refractive power, a second lens group having a positive refractive power and a third lens group having a positive refractive power. The first lens group includes a lens having a negative refractive power and a lens having a positive refractive power in order from the object side, at least one of the lenses being an aspherical lens. The second lens group includes a cemented lens and a single lens having an aspherical surface and having a negative refractive power in order from the object side. The third lens group is a positive lens. Two focal points of the dual-focus switchable lens is switched by moving the second lens group while maintaining the first and third lens groups substantially stationary, and the dual-focus switchable lens satisfies specific conditional expressions.
