What Should Be Considered When Selecting Industrial Lenses?
1. Industrial lens mounts There are three mainstream lens mount types: F-mount, C-mount, and CS-mount. The F-mount is a universal mount, generally suitable for lenses with a focal length greater than 25mm; while when the focal length of the objective lens is less than 25mm, due to the small size of the objective lens, a C-mount or CS-mount is used, and some also use an M12 mount. The difference between the C mount and the CS mount : The difference between C-mount and CS-mount interfaces lies in the distance from the lens-camera contact surface to the lens's focal plane (the position where the camera's CCD image sensor is located): this distance is 17.53 mm for C-mount and 12.5 mm for CS-mount. C- mount lenses are compatible with C-mount cameras, and CS-mount lenses are compatible with CS-mount cameras. A C-mount lens can be used with a CS-mount camera by adding a 5mm C/CS adapter ring. However, a CS-mount lens cannot be used with a C-mount camera. Industrial lens mounts 2. Ba...
