Focus Mechanism

Unit focus (reconstruction): the complete optical unit is assumed to translate on the helicoid, so only the back focal distance changes. The patent publishes only the infinity state; the 0.30 m close-focus spacing (+6.15 mm extension, about 1:5.7) is solved from the manufacturer's closest distance measured from the film plane and is not a published conjugate.
