ABSTRACT:
An optical apparatus according to the present invention includes a moving lens frame guided movably in an optical axis direction by guide shafts, a drive source for driving the lens frame along the optical axis direction, a lead screw attached to the drive source, a nut member which is fitted on the lead screw and whose rotation is controlled by a rotation control section, the nut member moving only in the optical axis direction by rotation of the lead screw, and an urging spring for pressing part of the lens frame on the nut member such that the lens frame follows movement of the nut member. The lead screw has a top end portion and a bottom end portion each of which is a non-screw portion having a diameter smaller than that of a root of a screw portion of the lead screw, and a spring is fitted near the bottom end portion of the lead screw to urge the nut member, which is fitted in the bottom end portion, in such a manner that the nut member is pushed in a direction of the top end portion of the screw.
