ABSTRACT:
An imaging apparatus includes: a zoom lens system including a plurality of groups and performing variable magnification by changing intervals of the lens groups; a color-separation optical system configured to carry out color separation of a light flux from the zoom lens system; and a plurality of imaging devices configured to convert optical images separated by colors by the color-separation optical system into electric signals. The zoom lens system includes at least one reflection member configured to bend an optical axis by 90 degrees or approximately 90 degrees. The color-separation optical system is arranged such that color-separation is performed in a direction within a plane perpendicular to another plane formed by an optical axis for light incident to the zoom lens system and an optical axis for light reflected by the reflection member.
