Abstract

An imaging lens substantially consists of five lenses of a first lens having positive-power and a meniscus shape with its convex surface facing an object side, and at least one of the surfaces of which is aspherical, a second lens having negative-power and a concave surface facing an image side, and at least one of the surfaces of which is aspherical, a third lens having negative-power and a convex surface facing the object side, and at least one of the surfaces of which is aspherical, a fourth lens having positive-power and a convex surface facing the object side, and at least one of the surfaces of which is aspherical, and a fifth lens having negative-power and a concave surface facing the image side, and at least one of the surfaces of which is aspherical, which are in this order from the object side. A predetermined formula is satisfied.
