Abstract
A plastic barrel includes an object-end portion, an image-end portion and a tube portion. The object-end portion includes an object-end surface and an object-end hole, wherein the object-end surface includes a plurality of annular grooves, which are disposed coaxially to a central axis, and each of the annular grooves includes a stepped surface. The image-end portion includes an image-end opening. The tube portion connects the object-end portion and the image-end portion.
