Imaging lens and imaging apparatus
An imaging lens is constituted by, in order from the object side to the image side: a front group; an aperture stop; and a rear group having a positive refractive power. The front group is constituted by, in order from the object side to the image side: at least two negative lenses, and a cemented lens formed by cementing a negative lens and a positive lens having a smaller Abbe's number with respect to the d line than the negative lens, provided in this order from the object side to the image side, together. The rear group is constituted by, in order from the object side to the image side: at least one positive lens, and a cemented lens having a positive refractive power as a whole, formed by cementing a positive lens and a negative lens, provided in this order form the object side to the image side, together.
