Abstract
A lens barrel includes a first lens frame that holds a first lens; a second lens frame that holds a second lens, and holds the first lens frame movably along an optical axis; and a pair of linear units that drive the movement of the first lens frame along the optical axis. When seen in an optical axis direction, the pair of linear units are disposed along the outer circumference of the first lens frame, at mutually non-opposing positions across the optical axis.
