ABSTRACT:
A lens barrel has a first group frame, cam followers each having a shaft portion having a straight hollow hole and a slidably contacting portion integral with the shaft portion, which are fixed to the first group frame and a rotating frame having a cam groove with which the cam followers are in slidable contact, which moves relatively to the first group frame. The hollow hole of the cam follower reaches the inside portion of the slidably contacting portion. The shaft portion is press-fit fixed in the shaft hole of the first group frame when an impact force is applied to the lens barrel, the possibility of damaging the frame member is little.
