The image taking lens has the minimum effective diameter lens whose
effective diameter is minimum, and the maximum effective diameter lens
whose effective diameter is maximum on the most image side, and in the
space generated in the minimum effective diameter lens periphery by the
difference of the outer diameter of the minimum effective diameter lens
and the outer diameter of the maximum effective diameter lens, at least a
part of an actuator for driving focusing lens group moving at the time of
focusing is arranged.
