Focus Mechanism

CONSTRAINED_RECONSTRUCTION: the patent identifies Group 1 focusing but gives no finite-focus table. D6 close-focus values are independently solved for a 0.38 m image-plane-referenced object distance while Groups 2-4 and the image plane remain fixed; the result is not patent-published.
