An image capturing lens system includes five lens elements which are, in order from an object side to an image side: a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, a fourth lens element and a fifth lens element. Each of the five lens elements has an object-side surface facing toward the object side and an image-side surface facing toward the image side. The first lens element has positive refractive power. The object-side surface of the first lens element is convex in a paraxial region thereof. The second lens element has negative refractive power. At least one surface among the object-side surfaces and the image-side surfaces of the five lens elements is aspheric. The image capturing lens system further includes an aperture stop disposed between an imaged object and the object-side surface of the second lens element.
