Provided is a lens barrel having, in order from an object side to an image side, a first to a third group lens, the lens barrel including: a fixed frame; a cam frame supported by the fixed frame so as to be rotationally movable in a optical axis direction between a forward and a backward movement ends; and a shutter frame which moves in the optical axis direction in a rotation restricted state, through the rotation of the cam frame, in which: a third group frame is fixed to the shutter frame so that the object side of the third group lens is arranged on an inner peripheral side of the shutter frame; and the second frame is configured so that the image side of the frame is stored on the inner peripheral side of the shutter frame when the cam frame is positioned at the backward movement end.

Lens barrel and image pickup device

A zoom lens barrel includes a fixed frame, a rotary frame, a moving frame that moves in an optical axis direction with the rotary frame, a float key that is restricted from rotating and moves, an inner cam frame that has a cam follower, is rotationally driven by the rotary frame, and moves in the optical axis direction, a guide frame that has a cam follower, and moves in the optical axis direction, an outer cam frame moves in the optical axis direction with the guide frame, and moves relatively with respect to the guide frame, a second group zoom frame that holds a second group lens, has a cam follower, is restricted from rotating around the optical axis, and moves in the optical axis direction, and a first group zoom frame that holds a first group lens, has a cam follower, and moves in the optical axis direction.

Zoom lens barrel

There is disclosed a lens barrel including a fixed frame, a rotary frame rotatable with respect to the fixed frame to advance or retract in an optical axis direction, and a rectilinear guide frame rotatable relative to the rotary frame to displace integrally with the rotary frame in the optical axis direction. In this structure, a front end portion of the rectilinear guide frame on a subject side in the optical axis direction is exposed from the rotary frame.
