Abstract

A lens apparatus includes an optical system including multiple lens units, the optical system including: a first lens unit which is disposed closest to an object side in the optical system and is rotatable about a point in a vicinity of an optical axis of the optical system; and at least one lens unit which is movable in a direction including a component in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. The following conditional expression is satisfied: 1.0<ft/|f1|<2.2, where ft represents a focal length of the optical system at a telephoto end, and f1 represents a focal length of the first lens unit. At least one of rotation of the first lens unit or movement of the at least one lens unit in the direction including the component in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis changes an image formation position in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis.
