Image taking system

An image taking system comprising:

• an optical path splitting element that splits beams coming from an object into transmitted beams and reflected beams;
• and
• first and second lens apparatuses into which the two bundles of beams split by the optical path splitting element enter,
• wherein each of the first and second lens apparatuses comprises an image blur reduction unit that shifts an object image in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis to reduce image blur, a vibration detector that detects vibration of the lens apparatus, a command signal generator that generates a command signal for driving the image blur reduction unit, a driving unit that drives the image blur reduction unit based on the command signal, and a communication unit that sends/receives image stabilization information generated by the vibration detector to/from the other lens apparatus, and
• the command signal generator of the second lens apparatus generates a command signal based on the image stabilization information obtained from the first lens apparatus through the communication unit.
