To provide a lens mount structure which can align a lens optical axis with
high accuracy without constituting a complicated lens mount structure,
the lens mount structure for mounting a lens barrel to a main body of a
camera, or the like, by retaining flange portions formed along an outer
periphery of a base body of a lens barrel with retaining portions formed
on a cylindrical mount disposed on a front of the support unit, the
center of gravity of the cylindrical barrel between an front edge and the
flanges, wherein reference surfaces for aligning a lens optical axis of
the lens barrel mounted on the main body are formed on the respective
flange portions; the reference surfaces are formed while facing the
center of gravity of the lens barrel, and the reference surfaces are
given a slope; and the retaining portions retain the flange portions
while the reference surfaces formed on the flange portions remain in
contact with retaining surfaces formed on the respective retaining
portions.
