Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the main benefits of a <1% low distortion rating?
A: Standard wide-angle lenses usually cause straight lines to bend like a fish-eye. A distortion profile under 1% ensures that walls, horizons, and mechanical parts appear straight and true to life, which is mandatory for machine vision processing and accurate drone mapping.
Q: Will this lens fit a standard M12 board camera?
A: Yes, it features a metric M12x0.5 thread design, making it globally compatible with standard S-mount boards, compact security modules, and industrial camera housings without modifications.
Q: Why does this lens use a 4G2P configuration instead of all-plastic?
A: The 4 glass elements provide exceptional scratch resistance, superior light transmission, and high thermal stability, meaning your image won’t drift out of focus when exposed to direct sunlight or high engine temperatures in automotive environments. The 2 plastic elements allow for precision aspherical tuning to eliminate chromatic aberrations cost-effectively.
Q: Does this lens include an infrared filter?
A: Yes, it has an integrated IRF (Infrared Filter). It works by blocking infrared light rays during the day to prevent color anomalies, ensuring highly accurate color balance for security surveillance and commercial imaging.
Q: Can I focus on objects that are very close to the lens?
A: Absolutely. With a Minimum Object Distance (M.O.D.) of just 0.1 meters (10 cm), this lens can maintain incredibly sharp focus on nearby text, barcodes, or small circuit boards, making it ideal for macro inspection.
Q: What happens if I use this lens on a smaller 1/3″ sensor?
A: This lens is fully backward-compatible with smaller sensors like 1/2.5″, 1/2.7″, or 1/3″ models. When using a smaller sensor, your field of view will simply become slightly narrower due to the sensor crop factor, but you will experience completely zero corner vignetting.
