ABSTRACT:
An autofocus lens barrel has an optical system shifter for shifting a focusing optical system forward and backward in the direction of the optical axis, a driven pulley rotatively driven around the optical axis for actuating the optical system shifter, and a driving pulley which is driven by receiving a driving force. The driving force is transmitted from the driving pulley to the driven pulley by means of a belt. Preferably, an idler pulley should be proved at a position substantially symmetrical to the driving pulley with respect to the optical axis, and the driving force is transmitted from the driving pulley to the driven pulley and the idler pulley by means of a belt.
