A lens apparatus includes an optical element, first and second fixed barrels coupled to each other, a conversion mechanism from a rotary motion to a linear motion, fitted to the first fixed barrel and configured to be rotated about a first axis as an axis of the first fixed barrel to drive the optical element along the first axis, an operation member fitted to an outer periphery of the second fixed barrel and configured to be operated to be rotated about a second axis as an axis of the second fixed barrel, and a transmission ring, supported by the conversion mechanism to be translatable in a first direction orthogonal to the first axis and by the operation member to be translatable in a second direction and orthogonal to the second axis, configured to transmit rotation from the operation member to the conversion mechanism.
