This 0.3x 2MP Telecentric C-Mount Lens with Coaxial Computar 0.3x 2MP Telecentric C-Mount Lens Coaxial Port 2/3" Sensorsfrom Computar 0.3x 2MP Telecentric C-Mount Lens Coaxial Port 2/3" Sensorsis designed for machine vision applications and incorporates a port for a coaxial lighting fixture (not included). It is a fixed focal length lens that resolves an image on 2/3" cameras with 2MP sensors, and it incorporates a C-Mount. Featuring a minimum working distance of 4.37", while providing a 0.3x magnification, the lens has low corner distortion between 0.01 to 0.03%.

Telecentric lenses are designed so that the light exiting the rear element is perpendicular to the sensor. Non-telecentric lens design allows the light to strike the sensor at an angle, which can lead to vignetting at the edge and corners of the sensor. The telecentric design minimizes vignetting.

This lens incorporates a port for a coaxial lighting device (not included). This setup enables you to illuminate the target area from the position of the lens itself, as opposed to setting up lights adjacent to your target.

Q: 1. If I use this lens on a c300 Mark II there will be some crop correct? This lens is made for full frame camera?

A: The ZEISS CP.3 lenses - like the previous version CP.2 - are designed for full-frame cameras using 24x36mm sensor sizes. Since the camera in question uses an APS-C sensor of 13.8x24.6mm, it has an effective crop factor of 1.46x when using FF lenses.

Q: 2. I need a C-mount lens for Super 8 - requiring flange depth of 17.52mm - will these senses serve?

A: The flange depth for the Fujinon 1.5MP 9mm C Mount Lens with Anti-Shock & Anti-Vibration Technology for 2/3" Sensors is 17.52mm.

Q: 3. What’s the image stabilization like on these lenses? Is it harder to maintain a smooth shot in comparison to some other 35’s?

A: The Carl Zeiss CP.3 cinema lenses have no stabilization whatsoever.

Q: 4. Where is this lens manufactured?

A: This lens has a Country or Origin of Germany.

Q: 5. Can this lens be used in conjunction with the aida hd-100a camera body?

A: The AIDA HD-100a is a C/CS Mount camera. It should work well with this lens.

Q: 6. With a C-mount to m43 adaptor, can I use this lens on a Lumix g7? Thank you

A: While this lens could be adapted with an adapter it would not cover the sensor of a M4/3 camera and not be a desirable lens choice for a M4/3 camera. It would not really work properly with a M4/3 camera since it is designed for 1/2 inch sensor size cameras.

Q: 7. Can these be used with Bolex H16 Film Cameras?

A: The Fujinon 1.5MP 12.5mm C Mount Lens with Anti-Shock & Anti-Vibration Technology for 2/3" Sensors (B&H# FUHF12.5HA1S) is for use with standard C mount cameras. It could be used with the Bolex H16.

Q: 8. which one is better in terms of quality, this lens or Sony FE C 16-35mm T/3.1 G for vlogging ( i don't like changing lenses)?

A: A zeiss lens is superior to any Sony FE lens

Q: 9. Does this lens send metadata to bmpcc 4k?

A: The ZEISS CP.3 XD lenses transfer meta data using the Cooke /i Technology protocol. This is available only on select cameras using a PL mount. The BMPCC with MFT mount does not support the /i Technology protocol and neither does the standard ZEISS CP.3 EF mount lens. You could use the BM Ursa Mini Pro with PL mount along with the ZEISS CP.3 XD PL and then there would be a meta data exchange.

Q: 10. Can this lens be adapted for use for filmmaking on a camera like a Panasonic GH5 or BMPCC?

A: There are C-Mount to MFT Adapters available, such as BH #FOCMAMFT. However this lens does not cover an MFT sized sensor. In general this would not be recommend for use on those cameras.
