Lens barrel

A lens barrel includes a first frame body, a second frame body, a support frame, and a retracting lens frame. The support frame is supported by the second frame body and moves with respect to the second frame body within a first plane for image blur correction in an imaging enabled state, the first plane being perpendicular to an optical axis. The retracting lens frame moves around a retraction shaft during a transition period between an imaging enabled state and a housed state, the retraction shaft being substantially parallel to the optical axis. The support frame has a protrusion which comes into contact with a groove included in the first frame body and restricts a movable range of the support frame in the first plane and a second plane that is parallel to the first plane.
