Telephoto is a single variable 85-170 mm physical lens with f/2.3 at 85 mm and f/3.5 at 170 mm. Scalar focal length is omitted because the physical lens varies from 85 to 170 mm. Widest supported aperture f/2.3 is stored, with f/3.5 at the longest endpoint explicitly retained here. Telephoto native pitch is 1.0 micrometre. Field of view varies 28-15 degrees and is omitted.
