Abstract
A lens barrel that is capable of easily switching a state where a lens position is adjustable and a state where the lens position is not adjustable only by rotating a lens holding frame with respect to a support barrel. The lens holding frame holds a lens. The support barrel supports the lens holding frame at a first support position and a second support position that is reached by rotating the lens holding frame from the first support position around an optical axis with respect to the support barrel. The support barrel supports the lens holding frame so that the position of the lens is adjustable with respect to a reference axis at the first support position, and supports the lens holding frame so that the position of the lens is not adjustable with respect to the reference axis at the second support position.
