An apparatus includes a body accommodating an imaging plane, and a lens
device providing a light beam path and including lens units arranged
along and coaxially with the path. The second lens unit next to the most
outwardly located first lens unit is reciprocally rotational between a
first position, at which the second lens unit is coaxial with the path,
and a second position, at which the second lens unit is positioned away
from the path. The first lens unit is provided on a cylindrical unit and
is reciprocally movable with the cylindrical unit along the optical axis,
and is moved to approach the plane while the second lens unit is in the
second position to shorten a distance between the first lens unit and the
plane in comparison with the distance between the first lens unit and the
plane when the second lens unit is in the first position.
