A lens barrel includes: a photographic optical system capable of altering focal length; a movable lens group constituting part of the photographic optical system, that moves along an optical axis when altering the focal length; an image sensor disposed at an image forming plane of the photographic optical system to capture a subject image; and a shutter unit disposed between the movable lens group and the image sensor, that comprises a shutter blade that blocks a photographic light flux passing through the photographic optical system. A principal point of the photographic optical system moves as the movable lens group moves along the optical axis. The shutter unit is disposed by assuring that a distance between a range of motion endpoint of the movable lens group and the shutter blade is shorter than a distance between the image sensor and the shutter blades.
