Abstract
An image taking system includes an optical path splitting element that splits beams coming from an object into transmitted beams and reflected beams and first and second lens apparatuses into which the two bundles of beams split by the optical path splitting element enter. Each of the first and second lens apparatuses has an image blur reduction unit that shifts an object image in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, a vibration detector that detects vibration of the lens apparatus, a command signal generator that generates a command signal for driving the image blur reduction unit, a driving unit that drives the image blur reduction unit, and a communication unit that sends/receives image stabilization information to/from the other lens apparatus. The command signal generator of the second lens apparatus generates a command signal based on the image stabilization information obtained from the first lens apparatus through the communication unit.
