“Designed for ultra-high-definition low-distortion machine vision and aerial surveying applications.”
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Why is “<1% TV Distortion” important for this lens?
- A: Standard wide-angle lenses suffer from barrel distortion (curved lines). A TV distortion of less than 1% means this low distortion lens keeps straight lines straight, which is absolutely vital for accurate 3D mapping, measurement, and industrial inspection.
- Q: Can this 16MP lens be used on a lower-resolution 4K or 1080P sensor?
- A: Yes, absolutely. Utilizing a high-grade 16MP lens on a 4K or 12MP sensor enhances contrast, improves edge-to-edge sharpness, and extracts the maximum possible optical quality from your camera sensor.
- Q: What does the “5G2M” structure mean?
- A: The optical structure consists of 5 Glass elements and 2 Plastic (Molded) elements. The glass elements provide elite thermal stability and clarity, while the molded elements allow for advanced aspherical shapes to achieve the ultra-low distortion design.
- Q: Is the focus adjustable on this lens?
- A: This is a fixed-focal lens (3.4mm). However, you focus the camera during installation by turning the lens into the M12 mount thread until the image is perfectly sharp, then securing it with an M12 locking ring.
- Q: What is the benefit of the 0.1m Minimum Object Distance (M.O.D.)?
- A: An M.O.D. of 0.1m (10cm) allows the camera to get incredibly close to objects while maintaining sharp focus. This is ideal for close-range robotic sorting and micro-component inspections on factory floors.
- Q: Does this lens include an Infrared (IR) Cut Filter?
- A: This lens features fixed mechanics. Depending on your needs, an 650nm IR-cut filter can be pre-glued on the rear element of the lens for day-only color accuracy, or left open for day/night IR applications. Please specify your preference when ordering.
