Abstract

Provided are an imaging lens and an Imaging apparatus which includes this imaging lens. The imaging lens consists of, in order from an object side: a front group GF; a diaphragm St; and a rear group GR. The front group GF consists of, in order from the object side: a first lens L 1 that is convex toward the object side and has a negative refractive power; a second lens L 2 that has a negative refractive power; and a third lens L 3 that has a positive refractive power. The rear group GR consists of, in order from the object side: a fourth lens L 4 that has a positive refractive power; a fifth lens L 5 that has a positive refractive power; a sixth lens L 6 that has a negative refractive power; a seventh lens L 7 that has a positive refractive power; and an eighth lens L 8 that has a negative refractive power.
