Abstract

An imaging lens system includes a lens barrel element and an imaging lens assembly disposed on the lens barrel element and including a first imaging lens element, a spacer element and a second imaging lens element. The spacer element has a second object-side contact surface corresponding to a first image-side contact surface of the first imaging lens element. The second imaging lens element has a third object-side contact surface corresponding to a second image-side contact surface of the spacer element. The lens barrel element and the spacer element form a buffer structure closer to an optical axis than the first image-side contact surface and including a first gap and a second gap located closer to the optical axis than the first gap. The first gap overlaps the third object-side contact surface in a direction parallel to the optical axis. A step difference is between the first and second gaps.
