A focus detection apparatus capable of accurate focus detection is
disclosed. The apparatus includes a first image-forming lens unit
including a first pair of lens portions forming a first pair of images on
a first pair of light-receiving element arrays with luminous fluxes from
an image-pickup optical system after the luminous fluxes pass through a
first pair of apertures making a pair in a first direction, and a second
image-forming lens unit including a second pair of lens portions forming
a second pair of images on a second pair of light-receiving element
arrays with luminous fluxes from the image-pickup optical system after
the luminous fluxes pass through a second pair of apertures making a pair
in a second direction. A midpoint between the second pair of lens
portions is located between the first pair of lens portions and displaced
from a midpoint between the first pair of lens portions.
