PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging lens which is well corrected for aberrations and an imaging apparatus including the imaging lens.SOLUTION: An imaging lens substantially comprises, in order from an object side, a front group G1 having negative refractive power and a rear group G2 having positive refractive power. The front group G1 substantially includes two negative lenses. The rear group G2 includes a first cemented lens C2a, closest to the object side, in which one negative lens L2a and one positive lens L2b having a d-line (wavelength 587.6 nm) -based Abbe number smaller than that of the negative lens L2a are cemented in this order from the object side.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】諸収差が良好に補正された撮像レンズおよびこの撮像レンズを備えた撮像装置を提供する。【解決手段】物体側から順に、負の屈折力を有する前群G1と、正の屈折力を有する後群G2とから実質的になり、前群G1は、2枚の負レンズから実質的になり、後群G2は、最も物体側に、1枚の負レンズL2aとこの負レンズL2aよりもd線(波長587.6nm)基準のアッベ数が小さい1枚の正レンズL2bが物体側からこの順に接合された第1接合レンズC2aを有するものとする。【選択図】図1
