Abstract
A lens barrel that is capable of facilitating attachment and detachment of an image stabilizing unit with a cheap and easy configuration. An image stabilizing actuator has a coil and a magnet that are arranged so as to face to each other. A first holding member holds the coil. A second holding member holds the magnet, and is movable in a direction orthogonal to an optical axis with respect to the first holding member. A sensor detects moving amount of the second holding member in the direction orthogonal to the optical axis. A third holding member holds the sensor. The first holding member and the third holding member are attached to a flexible printed circuit board. The terminal sections of the coil and the sensor are located on the same side of the flexible printed circuit board. The third holding member is bent toward the first holding member.
