A frontend circuit includes a wide-band filter, a transmit filter, and switches. The wide-band filter passes both the receive frequency band of a first communication frequency band and that of a second communication frequency band which is close to or overlaps that of the first communication frequency band. The transmit filter passes the transmit frequency band of the first or second communication frequency band. The switches are capable of simultaneously bringing, into conduction, at least two of multiple filters including the wide-band filter and the transmit filter. In carrier aggregation using the receive frequency bands of the first and second communication frequency bands, the switches simultaneously bring the wide-band filter and the transmit filter into conduction. Thus, in carrier aggregation using signals of multiple communication frequencies simultaneously in communication, attenuation of signals due to signal leakage in two receive frequency bands, which are close to each other, is suppressed.

It is an object of the present disclosure to provide a lens barrel with which looseness caused by a gap formed between a fixed barrel and a cam barrel can be effectively suppressed without increasing the rotational torque of the cam barrel, as well as a camera equipped with this lens barrel. A lens barrelcomprises first to seventh lens group unitsto, a substantially cylindrical rectilinear barrel, a substantially cylindrical cam barrel, and spacersand. The cam barrelmoves the third to seventh lens group unitstoin the optical axis OP direction by being rotated with respect to the rectilinear barrelin a state in which main cam followersand main cam groovesare engaged with each other. The spacersandprotrude in the radial direction from the rectilinear barreland come into contact with the cam barrelso as to suppress looseness between the rectilinear barreland the cam barrel, and the length in the optical axis OP direction is equal to or greater than the amount of movement of the cam barrelin the optical axis OP direction with respect to the rectilinear barrel
