Imaging lens and imaging apparatus

An imaging lens, substantially consisting of a front group, a stop, and a rear group disposed in order from the object side, wherein:

• the first and the second lenses from the object side in the front group are a negative meniscus lens with a convex surface on the object side and a negative lens respectively;
• the first and the second lenses from the image side in the front group are both positive lenses;
• the first and the second lenses from the object side in the rear group are a positive lens and a negative lens respectively;
• the rear group includes one or more lenses on the image side of the second lens from the object side, the one or more lenses being both positive lenses;
• and
• the imaging lens satisfies a conditional expression (1) given below:
• 2ω>130° (1)
• where
• 2ω:
• maximum total angle of view when an object at infinity is in focus.
