The stop and shutter blades have tilts in their supported portions toward a same one side in the optical axis direction so that the stop and shutter portions are distant from the supported portions in the optical axis direction. The driving member has a shape concave toward the one side from its outer circumferential side portion to its inner circumferential side portion.
