JP 2015-166834 A — Masaharu Hosoi

12 ELEMENTS / 10 GROUPS
PATENT f = 16.48 / 24.07 / 33.95 mm
DESIGN FNO = 4.07 / 4.08 / 4.09
PATENT 2ω = 108.08° / 83.10° / 63.60°
8 ASPHERICAL SURFACES

Focus Mechanism

CONSTRAINED_RECONSTRUCTION: the patent moves GR3 alone for focus. Close-focus D15/D17 pairs were solved at Sony's 0.28 m subject-to-image-plane MFD while conserving D15+D17; these close states are model-derived, not patent-published.
