MF AND AF FOCUS CONFIGURATIONS

Focus Mechanism

MF configuration, from the patent's MF table: infinity and two published close stations at -1.0x and -1.5x. G2 and the stop move together toward the object, 31.05 mm in total; G1 and G3 stay fixed. Calculated paraxial object-to-image distances at the two stations are 355.098678 mm and 304.755369 mm; the slider scale uses these calculated distances, not the marketed 0.30 m MF or 1.5 m original AF limits. Between the three published states the spacings are interpolated for display only: this is not a published cam law, and distance labels between stations can differ from the physical conjugates. The combined MF-plus-AF use of the production lens is not modeled, and the launch and effective-f-number readouts at close focus are approximate.
