Abstract

The imaging lens consists of, in order from the object side, a first lens group G 1 having a positive power, a diaphragm, a second lens group G 2 having a positive power, and a third lens group G 3 . Each of the lens groups includes three or more lenses. A positive lens is disposed on a most object side in the first lens group G 1 , and a meniscus lens, which is concave toward the object side, is disposed to be closest to the object side in the second lens group G 2 . During focusing from an infinite distance object to a close-range object, elements ranging from the first lens group G 1 to the second lens group G 2 integrally move toward the object side, and the third lens group G 3 remains stationary. The imaging lens satisfies a conditional expression about a radius of curvature of an air lens of the first lens group G 1.
