LENS APPARATUS, AND IMAGING APPARATUS WITH THE SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lens apparatus wherein the reduction of size and weight of a mechanism of supplying power to a coil 42 for a zooming linear motor 41 for driving a zooming vehicle 31 or a coil 52 for a focusing linear motor 51 for driving a focusing vehicle 33 is attained, and also, a spacial space for a wiring body is unnecessary, and a reaction force in accordance with the shift of the zooming vehicle 31 and the focusing vehicle 33 is reduced, further, the wiring body is prevented from shielding the optical path. SOLUTION: The flexible substrate 49 is helically arranged around a guiding main shaft 26 for guiding the zooming vehicle 31, and the flexible substrate 49 follows the shift of the zooming vehicle 31 with the expansion and contraction of the flexible substrate 49.
