Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the main advantage of an 8mm lens over a 5mm lens on a 1/1.7″ sensor?
A: The 8mm lens provides a narrower, more focused field of view (56° Horizontal) compared to a 5mm lens. This results in a higher pixel density on target objects farther away, making it much better for reading license plates or verifying small product barcodes.

Q: Why is a -16% distortion rate beneficial for industrial vision?
A: Standard wide lenses often exceed -40% distortion, twisting the image borders heavily. As a Low Distortion Lens optimized at -16%, it preserves straight lines much better, which drastically simplifies edge detection algorithms and measurement calibration in Machine Vision Lens workflows.

Q: Can this lens handle outdoor day-to-night lighting shifts without blurring?
A: Yes. Because it is an IR Corrected Lens, the glass elements are chemically coated to converge visible and infrared light on the exact same focal plane. When your camera switches to IR night mode, the image stays perfectly sharp without focus degradation.

: Does this lens have an adjustable iris to control light exposure?
A: No, this model is engineered with a Fixed Iris at F1.8. This large fixed aperture maximizes light throughput for high-speed imaging. Exposure changes are handled entirely by adjusting the camera sensor’s gain or electronic shutter speed.

Q: Can I mount this CS-mount lens onto a standard C-mount camera?
A: No, a native CS-Mount Lens cannot focus on a C-mount camera because its back focal flange distance is too short. It must be paired natively with a CS-mount camera body.

Q: Is the manual focus ring lockable for high-vibration machinery?
A: Yes, the manual focus mechanism includes a locking thumbscrew. Once you establish focus during setup, you can secure it tightly to withstand industrial vibrations from robotic arms or conveyor belts without slipping.
