Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the advantages of M16 mount over M12? A: The M16 thread features a larger rear optical aperture. It eliminates heavy vignetting for 2/3″ and 1″ large sensors, ensures uniform full-screen illumination, and retains a compact camera module size.
Q: Is <2.9% distortion free from software correction? A: A <2.9% distortion rate is top-tier for a 102° wide-angle lens. Raw images are precise enough for direct use in machine vision and drone photogrammetry, greatly reducing algorithm calibration and processing workloads.
Q: Can this 20MP lens work with 1/1.8″ or 2/3″ smaller sensors? A: Yes, fully compatible. Smaller sensors crop the lens’s outer field of view for a narrower viewing angle. Only the lens’s high-quality central optics are utilized, further lowering distortion and delivering ultra-clear imaging.
Q: How to adjust focus on this M16 fixed lens? A: Manually screw the lens in or out of the M16 mount to get the sharpest image at your working distance, then fasten it securely with an M16 locking ring.
Q: Can 6G3P structure withstand high-temperature industrial scenarios? A: Yes. 6 glass core elements ensure stable focus and no image blurring under industrial operating temperatures. 3 plastic lenses optimize light paths to realize lightweight design while retaining 20MP high-resolution performance.
Q: Does this lens have a built-in IRCF? A: It adopts high-transmittance optical coating for high resolution by default. Custom IRCF or IR-pass versions for 850nm/940nm infrared scenarios are available upon request.
