Imaging lens and imaging apparatus

An imaging lens consisting of, in order from an object side to an image side:

• a front group;
• a stop;
• and a rear group that has a refractive power, wherein:
• the front group and the rear group are combined and include at least five negative lenses and at least three positive lenses,
• a lens closest to the object side in the front group is a first lens as a negative meniscus lens which has a convex surface facing toward the object side,
• a lens, which is second from the object side in the front group, is a second lens as a negative lens which has a concave surface facing toward the image side,
• the front group includes at least three negative lenses, which include the first lens and the second lens, and at least one positive lens, and
• assuming that
• a maximum half angle of view in a state where an infinite distance object is in focus is ωm,
• a back focal length of the imaging lens at an air-equivalent distance in a state where the infinite distance object is in focus is Bf,
• a focal length of the imaging lens in a state where the infinite distance object is in focus is f,
• a sum of a distance on an optical axis from a lens surface closest to the object side to a lens surface closest to the image side and the back focal length at the air-equivalent distance in a state where the infinite distance object is in focus is TL, and
• a unit of ωm is degree,
• Conditional Expressions (1), (2), (3), and (4) are satisfied, which are represented by
• 65<ωm<130 (1),
• 0.25<Bf/(2×f×sin(ωm/2))<2 (2),
• 4<TL/f<8.5 (3), and
• 0.05<Bf/TL<0.35 (4).
