English term or phrase: at the focus length
"The zoom lens is also fitted with a close-up diopter. It is for focusing on objects ***at the focus length*** of the system."

Wie übersetze ich hier "at the"? "... an der Fokuslänge"?

Explanation:
Habe den starken Verdacht, dass hier eigentlich "focal length" stehen sollte, denn das Englisch dieses Textes scheint nicht ganz über jeden Zweifel erhaben...(Ein Muttersprachler würde doch auf jeden Fall nur "at" schreiben, nicht "at the"?) Dann wäre es eben die Brennweite bzw. Fokaldistanz des Objektivs.
