In order to effect projection exposure at a great depth of focus without spoiling transfer fidelity even for a plurality of isolated patterns relatively close to one another, provision is made of a coherence reducing member CCM for reducing the coherency between imaging light in a central circular transmitting portion FA on or near the pupil plane (Fourier transform plane) of a projection optical system and imaging light in a marginal zonal transmitting portion FB, and a double focalizing member DFM for making the in-focus position of light passing through the circular transmitting portion FA and the in-focus position of light passing through the zonal transmitting portion FB differ in the direction of the optical axis of the projection optical system.
