Abstract

An imaging lens substantially consists of six lenses consisting of, in order from the object side: a first lens having a biconvex shape; a second lens having a negative refractive power; a third lens having a positive refractive power; a fourth lens having a positive refractive power; a fifth lens having a negative refractive power and having a concave surface toward the object side; and a sixth lens having a negative refractive power and having a concave surface toward the object side.
