ABSTRACT:
In a lens assembly having a single operational member adapted to be manipulated to perform both focusing operation and zooming operation, there is provided a rotation preventing device for inhibiting rotation of the single operation member during axial movement thereof to perform zooming operation in order to prevent misalignment of a previously established focusing adjustment. The rotation preventing device includes a mechanism for establishing a frictional or spring-like force between the single operational member and a barrel member of the lens assembly in order to avoid relative rotation therebetween during zooming operation and the frictional force is initiated by a manually operable stopper member on the lens assembly.
