Abstract
An optical apparatus that is capable of improving impact resistance thereof. A holding member holding the optical element is movably attached to a first member so that the optical element is movable between an entering position where the optical element enters into an optical path and a retracted position where the optical element is retracted from the optical path. The first member is movably attached to a second member. A driving member engages with the holding member and drives the holding member. A regulation member regulates a moving amount of the first member with respect to the second member. The regulation member is arranged so that a distance from an engagement position of the holding member and the driving member at the entering position to the regulation member is longer than a distance from the engagement position at the retracted position to the regulation member.
