A lens apparatus attachable to and detachable from a camera body includes a reflective optical system, a memory configured to store aperture information based on an optical condition of the lens apparatus, and a transmitter configured to transmit the aperture information acquired from the memory to the camera body.

A lens apparatus is mountable to a camera body. The camera body has multiple electric contacts. Of these multiple electric contacts, when mounting the lens apparatus to the camera body, electric contacts used for second communication or third communication come into contact with an electric contact provided to the lens apparatus before electric contacts used for first communication, when mounting the lens apparatus to the camera body.

In a camera body, a VBAT terminal and PGND terminal are both disposed adjacent to a TYPE terminal. In a case where the voltage of the TYPE terminal is a voltage of a first voltage range that does not include the VBAT voltage and does not include the voltage of the PGND terminal, a camera control unit distinguishes the mounted lens apparatus to be a first lens apparatus. In a case where the voltage of the TYPE terminal is a voltage of a second voltage range that is a voltage range different from the first voltage range, does not include the VBAT voltage and does not include the voltage of the PGND terminal, the camera control unit distinguishes the mounted lens apparatus to be a second lens apparatus.
