LEICA ELMARIT-TL 18mm f/2.8 ASPH.

US 2020/0341238 A1 — Third Numerical Example

8 GLASS ELEMENTS / 6 GROUPS
f = 18.4556 mm design
F/2.904 design (f/2.8 nominal)
2ω = 75.8° patent diagonal

Focus Mechanism

Internal focus by the single positive G2 element (L7). For near focus L7 moves objectward: d13 decreases and d15 increases by the same amount; the close-focus endpoint is a paraxial fit to Leica's 0.30 m MFD.
