Abstract

Provided are an imaging lens, which has a small F number and in which various aberrations are satisfactorily corrected, and an imaging apparatus including the imaging lens. The imaging lens includes, in order from an object side: a first lens that has a biconcave shape; a second lens that is convex toward an image side and has a positive refractive power; a third lens that has a biconvex shape; a fourth lens that has a negative refractive power; a fifth lens that has a positive refractive power; and a sixth lens that has a negative refractive power. Assuming that L1f and L1r are paraxial radii of curvature of an object side surface and an image side surface of the first lens, Conditional Expression (1) is satisfied. 0.1<( L 1 f+L 1 r )/( L 1 f−L 1 r )<0.8  (1)
