Abstract:
A lens apparatus includes a cam barrel having a cam groove and rotatable around an optical axis, a cam follower engaged with the cam groove, a movable member movable in an optical axis direction via the cam follower as the cam barrel rotates, a straight guide member configured to guide the movable member in the optical axis direction and restrict a movement of the cam barrel in a first direction parallel to the optical axis, a first biasing member configured to bias the movable member in a second direction opposite to the first direction so that the cam follower contacts a first cam groove surface of the cam groove in the optical axis direction, and a second biasing member configured to bias the cam barrel in the first direction.
