Abstract
A lens barrel which is miniaturized without complicating control over a drive unit which moves a plurality of optical members in a direction of an optical axis. A cam member is cam-engaged with each of a first optical member and a second optical member which move in the direction of the optical axis. The cam member is rotated about an axis parallel to the optical axis by a cam action of the cam member and the first optical member, which is driven to move in the direction of the optical axis by a linear actuator. Rotation of the cam member causes the second optical member to move in the direction of the optical axis due to a cam action of the second optical member and the cam member. The axis is arranged at an opposite position to the linear actuator with the optical axis as a center.
