Official abstract text for this publication.
The imaging lens includes, in order from the object side, a first lens group having a positive refractive power, a second lens group having a negative refractive power, and a third lens group having a positive refractive power. During focusing, only the second lens group moves in the direction of the optical axis. A lens closest to the object side in the first lens group and a lens adjacent to the lens on the image side have positive refractive powers, and the second lens group includes two or three lenses. Further, predetermined Conditional Expressions (1), (2), (3a), and (3b) are satisfied.
