CONSTRAINED_RECONSTRUCTION: the patent specifies G2-only inner focusing but no close-focus spacings. Close states are code-solved at Tamron's 0.33 m MFD with only G2 translating, d6+d16 conserved, and the image plane fixed; telephoto magnification computes to about 1:3.923 versus the marketed 1:3.9.
