<p>A lens device (10) is constituted of a lens barrel (12), and first to third lenses (14) to (16) accommodated in the lens barrel (12). The first to the third lenses (14) to (16) are formed from plastic nanocomposite material that is plastic material in which inorganic fine particles are dispersed. First to third cushioning members (18a) to (18c) are provided between rim surfaces of edge portions (14b) to (16b) of the first to the third lenses (14) to (16) and inner circumferential surfaces of the lens barrel (12), respectively. Thus, corner portions (14c) to (16c) of the first to the third lenses (14) to (16) are prevented from chipping on contact with the inner circumferential surfaces of the lens barrel (12).</p>
