15 ELEMENTS / 10 GROUPS
DESIGN f = 14.19 mm
DESIGN F/2.85
4 ASPHERICAL SURFACES / 2 ELEMENTS
THREE PUBLISHED FOCUS STATES

Focus Mechanism

PUBLISHED: the cemented triplet L83–L103 (group G23) moves 3.23 mm toward the object between the patent's three tabulated states — infinity, magnification 0.033, and magnification 0.157 at 0.20 m object-to-image, which is also Samyang's stated minimum focus distance. The D1/D2 gaps at those states are the printed values; gaps between them are interpolated. G13 and G33 stay fixed. The image plane is placed 0.5 mm behind the cover plate, the sum of the patent's printed D4 and D5 at each focus state. The iris is held at its infinity setting, so the model does not reproduce the patent's near-state F-number of 2.938.
