Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Why does this lens use a PC+30%GF material for its lens barrel?
- A: PC+30%GF (polycarbonate reinforced with 30% glass fiber) is used to drastically reduce the lens weight while keeping mechanical strength extremely high. This is essential for drones and action cameras where every gram matters and high vibration resistance is required.
- Q: Is the 1IR filter built directly into the lens?
- A: Yes, the lens features a 6G+1IR construction, meaning the infrared-cut filter is pre-integrated. This blocks unwanted IR light to deliver true, natural colors during daytime shooting without needing an external switcher.
- Q: Will a <-70% distortion warp my image too much?
- A: A distortion of <-70% is standard for an ultra-wide TOF lens to achieve a massive 156.8° field of view. For photography or surveillance, it provides an immersive panorama; for mapping or inspection, the barrel curve can be calibrated out via software de-warping algorithms.
- Q: Can this 1/2.3″ image format lens be used on smaller sensors like 1/3″?
- A: Yes, it is backward-compatible with 1/2.5″, 1/2.7″, and 1/3″ sensors. However, please note that using a smaller sensor will narrow the effective Field of View (FOV) accordingly.
- Q: Does this lens suffer from focus drift during outdoor temperature changes?
- A: No. Due to the 6G all-glass design and the fiber-reinforced PC barrel, the optical components resist expanding or contracting, ensuring stable focus from freezing temperatures up to hot summer days.
