Lens device and optical apparatus
First Claim
1. A lens device comprising:
- an optical system including a first lens which performs a magnification varying operation, and a second lens which is positioned rearwardly of said first lens along an optical axis and performs a focus adjusting operation;
first detecting means for detecting a position of said first lens and a position of said second lens; and
a storage circuit which stores a positional relation between said first lens and said second lens, with said first lens being set at a predetermined position, wherein a position detection by said first detecting means is corrected by use of deviation information if the position of said lens and the position of said second lens is detected by said first detecting means deviate from the positional relation stored in said storage circuit, when an in-focus state of said second lens is detected.

Abstract
A lens device comprises an optical system including a first lens which performs a magnification varying operation, and a second lens which is positioned rearwardly of the first lens along an optical axis and performs a focus adjusting operation, a first detecting circuit for detecting a position of the first lens and a position of the second lens, and a storage circuit which stores a positional relation between the first lens and the second lens under reference conditions, wherein a position detection by the first detecting circuit is corrected by use of deviation information if the position of the first lens and the position of the second lens detected by the first detecting circuit deviate from the positional relation stored in the storage circuit, when an in-focus state of the second lens is detected.
