Focus Mechanism

Floating internal focus; the patent tabulates infinity, 0.5× and 1.0×. G1 fixed. G2 with the stop advances 46.29 mm toward the object and G3 advances 37.92 mm, opening the stop-to-G3 gap from 1.47 to 9.84 mm at constant overall length. The printed 1.0× state computes to −0.96× paraxially at 265 mm object-to-image (Laowa quotes 27 cm). Spacings between the three states are interpolated, not published. All three states are coaxial; the patent gives no tilted or shifted prescription.
