Original Abstract Submitted
The disclosed optical apparatus includes a first movable member movable in an optical axis direction a holding member holding an optical element and movable with respect to the first movable member in the optical axis direction, a guide member held by the first movable member and guides the holding member in the optical axis direction, a second movable member movable in the optical axis direction independently of the first movable member, and a drive unit configured to drive the holding member in the optical axis direction. The drive unit is held such that displacement of the drive unit with respect to the second movable member in the optical axis direction is restricted by the second movable member.
