An image pickup apparatus comprising an image forming lens (4) for condensing light and a photoelectric converting device (12) for converting the condensed light of the image forming lens into an electric signal and outputting an image signal. The image forming lens (4) has a plurality of legs (11), the legs directly contacting the photoelectric converting device (12). Thus, the alignment as well as the distance between the image forming lens and the photoelectric converting device can be easily set.
