17 PHYSICAL LENS PIECES / 13 PATENT AIR-SPACED GROUPS
MARKETED 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3
PATENT f = 18.4671 / 69.9995 / 193.7966 mm
PATENT FNO = 3.57 / 5.60 / 6.47 AT INFINITY
5 PATENT ASPH SURFACES / 4 PIECES; 2 INFERRED ED
Focus MechanismPUBLISHED 0.5 m focus states at all three zoom control points. G4 (L14+L15 with rear resin) translates toward the image plane; only D25 and D29 change with focus and their sum is conserved to patent-table rounding. The correlated SEL18200LE likewise specifies a 0.5 m minimum focus distance.
