A lens drive mechanism includes first and second members positioned adjacent to each other, where the second member supports a lens group and is movable relative to the first member along an optical axis of the lens group. A first guide shaft is provided which extends in a direction of the optical axis which is supported by the first member to be guided in the direction of the optical axis. One end of the first guide shaft is secured to the second member. A screw shaft extends in the direction of the optical axis and has a first thread, where one end of the screw shaft is secured to the second member and the screw shaft is positioned adjacent to the first guide shaft. A device for detecting whether the lens group is located at an extremity of a predetermined movable range of the lens group relative to the first member along the optical axis is also provided. The detecting device includes a connecting member secured to the other end of each of the screw shaft and the first guide shaft.
