CANON RF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM

US 2019/0278068 A1, Numerical Example 2 — Takahiro Hatada

18 ELEMENTS / 14 GROUPS
f = 24.72 – 101.84 mm
F/4.12 (design)
2ω ≈ 82.4° – 24.0°
6 ASPHERICAL SURFACES (3 ELEMENTS)
1 UD ELEMENT

Focus Mechanism

Inner focus — L4 (single negative meniscus) moves toward the image. The patent publishes infinity spacings only; close-focus travel is calculated for Canon's 0.45 m MFD at every zoom station.
