10-20 mm DX zoom
14 elements / 11 groups; 3 aspherical elements
Patent f = 10.310 / 14.992 / 19.394 mm
Patent FNO = 4.625 / 5.233 / 5.828
G3 internal focus; L23 VR group

Focus Mechanism

Internal focus by G3 (L31-L32) moving image-side. Close-focus gaps are paraxially inferred from the official 0.22 m MFD because Example 2 publishes only infinity zoom spacings.
