ABSTRACT:
A lens barrel comprises a number of main body ribs formed integral with a camera main body and projecting therefrom in the direction of the optical axis, first and second lens barrels provided between and movable along a pair of the main body ribs, and a cam ring mounted on the periphery of the main body ribs, the first and the second lens barrels and rotatable with respect to the camera main body around the optical axis. The cam ring has a first cam groove having an opening portion and a second cam groove having a recess. First and second cam followers of the first and second lens barrels are engaged with the first and second cam grooves, respectively. When the cam ring is rotated in a direction A or B, the first and second cam followers are moved forward or backward along the first and second cam grooves. As a result, the first and second lens barrels are moved forward or backward in the direction of the optical axis along the pair of the main body ribs.
