Abstract

An imaging lens includes, in order from an object side, a positive first lens group, a stop, and a positive second lens group. The first lens group includes, in order from the object side, a first lens, which is a negative meniscus lens having a convex object-side surface, and a second lens having a positive power and including a convex image-side surface. The second lens group includes, in order from the object side, a third lens having a negative power and including a concave object-side surface, a fourth lens having a positive power and including a convex image-side surface, a fifth lens, which is a biconvex lens, and a sixth lens, which is a meniscus lens having a negative power and including a convex surface facing an image side. Each of the first to sixth lenses is a single spherical glass lens.
