Abstract

An imaging lens consists of a negative first lens, a positive second lens, a negative third lens, a positive fourth lens, a positive fifth lens, and a negative sixth lens in order from the object side. The Abbe number of the material of the sixth lens with respect to the d-line is less than or equal to 30. When the radius of curvature of the object side surface of the third lens is taken as R 3 F, the radius of curvature of the image side surface of the third lens is taken as R 3 R, and the Abbe number of the material of the third lens with respect to the d-line is taken as νd 3 , the following conditional expressions are satisfied: 1.35<( R 3 F+R 3 R )/( R 3 F−R 3 R )<6.0  (1) ν d 3<30.0  (2).
