A lens barrel with a lock arranged to avoid loosening the lock and
defocusing the lens barrel when vibrated during focusing and zooming. The
lens barrel includes a fixed cylinder, an adjustment ring, lock screws
and a lock ring, lock screws and a lock ring. The adjustment ring is
slidably attached to the fixed cylinder so as to rectify locations of
optical components along the optical axis. The lock screws in screw holes
extend at one end of the fixed cylinder in parallel with the optical
axis, and each lock screw has a part that serves as a turning force
transmitting segment and moves along the optical axis at the end of the
fixed cylinder. The lock ring is slidably attached to the end of the
fixed cylinder and has an inner surface that is mated with the force
transmitting segment to let the lock screws rotate to secure the
adjustment ring to the fixed barrel.
