Large Format Lenses

Large Format Lensing Options

Large Format lenses are often used on cameras with large sensors such as linescan cameras. The two most common standards of mount are F-Mount and 42mm-Mount although some very large sensors require even larger mounting systems such as 72mm or V-mount. With more glass, large format lenses suffer less from vignetting but are larger and more costly. Large format optics are sometimes used for precision applications on C-mount cameras fitted with adapters.

Standard F-Mount

Lockable fixed focus lenses with the standard F mount interface

Precision high quality optics

Range of focal lengths

Metal robust design

Modular

Modular lens systems allow for flexibility due to the interchangeable nature of the different lens elements.

Choice of Optical Quality

Many mount options for specialist cameras

Range of extension rings available

Modular Macro System

For applications where the field of view is similar to the CCD size these macro lenses provide excellent results

Image Circle in excess of 35mm

Range of magnifications from X 0.5 to x 1.4

Range of working distances

Telecentric

Telecentric lenses remove perspective distortion and are ideal in measurement applications and where a larger depth of field is needed. These lenses are designed for use with larger format cameras.
