Seven BL Lac objects have been photometrically observed in an effort to study the difference of optical intraday variability between the radio-selected BL Lac objects (RBLs) and X-ray-selected BL Lac objects (XBLs). The objects we observed are selected arbitrarily. They are four RBLs, PKS 0735+178, PKS 0754+101, OJ 287 and BL Lac, and three XBLs, H 0323+022, H 0548-322 and H 2154-304. During the observation all of them exhibited microvariation, and H 0323+022 and H 0548-322 sometimes showed brightness oscillation. PKS 0735+178 and BL Lac were in their faint states and not very active. It seems that RBLs do not show microvariability more frequently than XBLs.
