ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a zoom lens barrel of inner focusing type, simplified in structure by the use of a surface wave motor. There are provided two biasing members of different biasing forces, in such a manner that the stator member of the surface wave motor can rotate with respect to the fixed tube member and the movable member of the surface wave motor rotates integrally with the stator member in the zooming operation. Such structure allows to dispense with a mechanical clutch for selecting the focusing or zooming operation.
