1. A lens apparatus configured to be attachable to and detachable from an image pickup apparatus, the lens apparatus comprising:
a first optical system and a second optical system;
a driver configured to move at least one of the first optical system and the second optical system in an optical axis direction of the at least one of the first optical system and the second optical system;
an operation member configured to move the at least one of the first optical system and the second optical system in the optical axis direction via the driver; and
a selector configured to select an optical system to be moved based on an operation on the operation member,
wherein the driver moves the at least one of the first optical system and the second optical system in the optical axis direction based on the operation on the operation member, and
wherein the lens apparatus is configured to switch between a first driving mode for performing autofocus by moving both the first optical system and the second optical system in the optical axis directions of the first optical system and the second optical system via the driver, and a second driving mode for adjusting a difference in imaging position for a same object image between the first optical system and the second optical system by moving the at least one of the first optical system and the second optical system in the optical axis direction of the at least one of the first optical system and the second optical system via the driver.
