A lens barrel with one or more integrated tunable lens is described. The lens barrel may be a part of an imaging device. The imaging device may include a lens, a tunable lens, and a lens barrel. The tunable lens is configured to adjust its optical power in accordance with an applied signal. The lens barrel is configured to hold the lens and the tunable lens in optical series with each other within the lens barrel. The lens barrel includes an integrated electrode that communicatively couples the tunable lens to a printed circuit board (PCB) which supplies the applied signal.
