Abstract
A zoom lens unit includes a zoom ring that has a scale indicating a focal length of the zoom lens unit, an indicator member that points a desired value on the scale, and a selection mechanism that is configured to select one of first and second moving states of the indicator member. In the first moving state, the indicator member moves as the zoom ring rotates. Further, in the second moving state, the indicator member moves without rotating the zoom ring.
