Abstract

Disclosed are an imaging lens having satisfactory performance in a region of near infrared light, and an imaging apparatus including the imaging lens. The imaging lens includes, in order from an object side, as lenses having refractive power, only four lenses including a positive first lens L 1 , a negative second lens L 2 , a positive third lens L 3 , and a positive fourth lens L 4 . A conditional expression relating to a focal length fs1 of the first lens L 1 with respect to s-line and a focal length fs of the entire system with respect to s-line: 0.5<fs1/fs<2.5 is satisfied.
