Focus Mechanism

Static model: the patent tabulates only the infinity state and the Dynaron's internal focusing motion is not published, so no focus travel is modeled. Once mounted, the lens couples to the Prominent's rangefinder and is focused with the camera's rangefinder knob. The 0.9 m close-focus value is where the lens's green meter scale begins in Voigtländer's Prominent lens booklet.
