うという問題があった。In recent years, in order to cope with the automatic focusing method, an inner focusing method is often used in a lens barrel to reduce the driving load. When the inner focus method is employed, when the aperture diameter changes due to zooming, it is not sufficient to simply correct the aperture diameter by the same method as described above. That is,
In the case of the in-focus method, the holding ring 3 moves in the optical axis direction even during focusing, so that the diaphragm plate 7 also moves and rotates at the same time, and originally,
There is a problem that the aperture diameter changes even at the time of focusing that does not require aperture diameter correction.

An aperture member (7) rotatable around the optical axis that moves in the optical axis direction is provided, and an engagement surface of the relay member with the aperture interlocking member is a sloped surface.

変化しない。According to the present invention, during zooming, the relay member moves in the optical axis direction and rotates around the optical axis because the engaging surface with the stop interlocking member is a slope.
Since the relay member rotates, the diaphragm member engaged with the relay member also rotates similarly to correct the diaphragm diameter. However, at the time of focusing, the relay member does not move in the optical axis direction and does not rotate around the optical axis. Therefore, the aperture member does not rotate and the aperture diameter does not change.

FIG. 2 shows the engaging portion between the bent portion 9a of the aperture interlocking member 9 and the bent portion 10a of the relay member 10 as described above, and the solid line shows the engaged state in the wide state.

る。この回転に伴い絞り径が補正される。When the state shifts to the telephoto side, that is, when the holding ring 4 moves forward in the optical axis direction (to the left in FIG. 1), the relay member 10 follows this, and the bent portion 10a of the relay member 10 2 moves to the position indicated by the two-dot chain line.
With this movement, the relay member 10 rotates around the optical axis by an amount indicated by θ. This rotation is transmitted to the diaphragm plate 7 through the engagement between the notch 10b of the relay member 10 and the bent portion 7a of the diaphragm plate 7, and the diaphragm plate 7 rotates around the optical axis. The aperture diameter is corrected with this rotation.

軸回りに回転せず、絞り径も変化しない。At the time of focusing, the holding ring 3 moves in the direction of the optical axis, but the holding ring 4 does not move in the direction of the optical axis.
No change occurs in the state of engagement between the bent portion 9a and the bent portion 10a of the relay member 10. Therefore, the relay member 10 does not rotate around the optical axis, so that the diaphragm plate 7 does not rotate around the optical axis, and the diaphragm diameter does not change.
