ABSTRACT:
A zoom lens barrel has a stationary barrel, a rotatable cam barrel, a straight-movable barrel, a first lens component, and a second lens component. The stationary barrel is fixed to a camera body. The rotatable cam barrel is screw-engaged with the stationary barrel and moves along the optical axis while rotating about the optical axis. The straight-movable barrel is guided straight along the optical axis by the stationary barrel and is fitted to the rotatable cam barrel so as to be movable together therewith along the optical axis and rotatable independently thereof about the optical axis. The first lens component is fixed to the straight-movable barrel. The second lens component is guided straight along the optical axis by the straight-movable barrel and is cam-coupled to the rotatable cam barrel so as to be cam-driven along the optical axis by the rotatable cam barrel.
