<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lens assembly that prevents chipping and deformation of an opening on an image-forming-side, and to provide an image capturing apparatus incorporating such a lens assembly. Ž<P>SOLUTION: A positioning section 103B that positions an image-forming-side surface of a first lens L4 by having line contact around an optical axis at a center is disposed at a position that is closer to an object side than the image-forming-side opening of a lens barrel. An opening forming section 102B extends from the positioning section 103B to a center of the optical axis along the image-forming-side surface of the first lens L4, and defines contours 1021B, 1022B and 1023B of the image-forming-side opening so that light emitted from the lens may reach an imaging element without being intercepted. By making the circumference of the positioning section 103B thicker than those in the prior art, toughness is increased to make the lens assembly hardly chipped. Ž<P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT Ž
