Key features:
Imperceptible backlash in the focus movement, zero image shift and smooth transition of the optical unit within the lens housing
Positive stops on the focus ring are designed to withstand the rigours of modern day drive systems that can often overrun the frail end stops from some earlier designed re-housings
Stainless steel PL retaining the iris datum ring using eight cap head screws. Using a similar setup up to the Cooke S4, the iris ring is freely rotatable on the main body of the lens and set on a pair of split bearing rings that keep the two components apart
The variable pitch cam that guides the optical unit gives the focus puller an even spread of the focus scale around the circumference, which is particularly useful towards infinity
The entire focus movement is designed to give reliable, repeatable, progressive and constant performance throughout its working operation
The internally adjustable focus stop gives a clean, solid halt to the travel at either end of the scale
The focus barrel is held on a specially designed bearing that eliminates shake and free play from the focus movement in the focus barrel
