Abstract
The optical apparatus includes a lens barrel, a lens held by the lens barrel, and a light emitter and an accessory attachment portion that are provided in an object-side end portion of the lens barrel so as to be located outside further than the lens in a radial direction of the lens barrel, the light emitter emitting an illumination light, the accessory attachment portion allowing detachable attachment of an accessory. The accessory attachment portion is located inside further than the light emitter in the radial direction. The lens barrel is provided with a slope surface formed so as to decrease an outer diameter of the lens barrel toward an object side end of the lens barrel.
Claims13
An optical apparatus comprising:
- a lens barrel;
- a most object-side lens held by the lens barrel;
- and
- a light emitter and an accessory attachment portion that are provided in an object-side end portion of the lens barrel so as to be located outside further than the most object-side lens in a radial direction of the lens barrel, the light emitter emitting an illumination light, the accessory attachment portion allowing detachable attachment of an accessory,
- wherein:
- the accessory attachment portion is located inside further than the light emitter in the radial direction;
- the lens barrel is provided with a concave space that opens toward an object side and is used for the attachment of the accessory;
- the concave space is provided in the radial direction between the accessory attachment portion and the most object-side lens;
- and;
- the lens barrel is provided with a slope surface formed so as to decrease an outer diameter of the lens barrel toward an object-side end of the lens barrel.
An optical apparatus including a lens barrel, the apparatus comprising:
- a base barrel located outermost in the lens barrel in its radial direction;
- and
- a movable barrel holding a first lens located at a most object-side position in an optical axis direction in which an optical axis of the lens barrel extends, being located inside further than the base barrel in the radial direction and being protrudable to an object side with respect to the base barrel,
- wherein, in a state where the movable barrel is protruded to the object side with respect to the base barrel, the entire movable barrel and the entire base barrel are located inside further than a conic surface (a) whose apex is located at a minimum focusing distance or a working distance on the optical axis and (b) that passes through an intersection line at which a plane passing through an object-side surface vertex of the first lens and being orthogonal to the optical axis intersects with a cylindrical surface extending from an outer circumferential surface of the movable barrel toward the object side.
