Abstract

An imaging lens is constituted by, in order from the object side to the image side: a positive first lens group; a stop; a negative second lens group; and a positive third lens group. Only the second lens group moves in the direction of the optical axis to perform focusing operations. The second lens group is constituted by one or two positive lenses and one negative lens. The third lens group is constituted by, in order from the object side to the image side, two or three positive lenses and one negative lens.
