LENS BARREL AND OPTICAL EQUIPMENT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a small sized lens barrel and an optical equipment with reduced magnetic interference between magnets respectively driving a vibration damping lens and a focus lens.SOLUTION: The lens barrel includes: a focus movement frame capable of being moved in the optical axis direction for retaining a first lens; a vibration damping unit capable of being moved in the optical axis direction and in the direction orthogonal to the optical axis direction for retaining a second lens; first driving means equipped with a first magnet provided on a first fixed member for driving the first lens; and second driving means equipped with a second magnet provided on the vibration damping unit for driving the second lens. In this case, the first magnet is arranged so as to have the same magnetic pole in the optical axis direction. The second magnet is arranged so as to have two different magnetic poles in the direction orthogonal to the optical axis direction. The first magnet and the second magnet are arranged so that a first magnetic line formed by the first magnet and a second magnetic line formed by the second magnet repulse with each other viewed from the optical axis direction.
