Abstract

An imaging lens is provided and includes: in order from the object side, a negative first lens, a negative second lens, a positive third lens, a stop, and a positive fourth lens. In the lens, each of the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens has at least one aspheric surface, and an Abbe number of a material of the third lens at the d-line is 35 or less. In addition, the imaging lens satisfies the following Conditional Expression (1): −0.2<( R 3 +R 4)/( R 3 −R 4)<0.2  (1) where R 3 is a paraxial radius of curvature of the object side surface of the second lens, and R 4 is a paraxial radius of curvature of the image side surface of the second lens.
