主权项

1. A lens barrel comprising:
a lens holding member including a bearing section that extends in a direction substantially parallel to an optical axis; a guide axle that extends through the bearing section of the lens holding member; an oil-retaining bearing that is between the bearing section of the lens holding member and the guide axle and that has a substantially cylindrical shape, into which the guide axle is slidably inserted; an intermediate member made of a material that has greater adhesion to an adhesive than does the material of the oil-retaining bearing arranged between the bearing section and the oil-retaining bearing, the intermediate member having an outer diameter that is less than an inner diameter of the bearing section such that an inclination of the oil-retaining bearing relative to the bearing section in a direction substantially parallel to the optical axis is adjustable; and an adhering member that fixes the intermediate member to the bearing section of the lens holding member in an adjusted position.
