Focus Mechanism

PUBLISHED internal focus: the cemented doublet of Unit II (E5–E6) moves 7.33 mm toward the image while Units I and III stay fixed. The patent does not say whether the stop moves; it is modelled fixed with Unit I. The near end is the patent's printed β = 1/10 state (d7 = 19.79, d10 = 19.23 at f = 100, scaled ×1.35), at 1.525 m object to image. The production lens focuses to 1.0 m (0.16×); the patent prints no state that close.
