ABSTRACT:
A lens barrel capable of reducing the radial size thereof while maintaining the degree of freedom in layout of a shutter and a anti-shake mechanism. A barrier drive ring includes first and second rotation-transmitting protrusions axially protruding toward an imaging area and parallel to and substantially opposed to each other. An image pickup element-holding member includes a first and second cam contact section which are brought into contact with the first and second rotation-transmitting protrusion, when the lens barrel is retracted. Rotation transmission to the barrier drive ring is performed in a varying manner first via a contact between the first rotation-transmitting protrusion and first cam contact section, then via contacts between the first and second rotation-transmitting protrusions and the first and second cam contact sections, and finally via a contact between the second rotation-transmitting protrusion and the second cam contact section.
