An imaging lens includes plastic-made first, second, third, fourth, and fifth lens elements arranged in the given order from an object side to an imaging side, each having object-side and imaging-side surfaces facing toward the object and imaging sides, respectively. The first lens element has a positive focusing power, and the object-side surface thereof is a convex surface. The second lens element has a negative focusing power, and the imaging-side surface thereof is a concave surface. The third lens element has a positive focusing power, and each of the imaging-side and object-side surfaces thereof is a convex surface. The fourth lens element is a meniscus lens, and the imaging-side surface thereof is a convex surface. The imaging-side surface of the fifth lens element has a concave area in a vicinity of an optical axis of the fifth lens element.
