NIKON NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S

JP 2025-052870 A, Numerical Example 1 — Masaki Harada, Toshiyuki Shimada

17 ELEMENTS / 15 GROUPS
f = 34.4 mm (patent) · 35 mm (marketed)
F/1.23 (patent) · F/1.2 (marketed)
2ω ≈ 65.4° (patent) · 63° (marketed)
3 ED + 1 ASPHERICAL ED + 3 ASPHERICAL ELEMENTS

Focus Mechanism

Floating internal focus: F1 (L21–L22, weak negative) and F2 (L31–L32, positive) both move toward the object by different amounts (patent: 5.351 mm and 3.677 mm to β = −0.10). Front group A and final group R are fixed. Close state is the patent's β = −0.10 conjugate (0.472 m object-to-image, calculated); production MFD is 0.3 m.
