Four checks on whether the pair fits
- 01
Image circle
The lens's φ11 mm image circle (2/3") is far larger than the sensor's 7.05 mm diagonal (1/2.53"), so there is no vignetting at all, and only the center of the image circle, where aberration and distortion are lowest, is used. The trade-off is that only part of the lens's rated 39° angle of view is used: the effective horizontal angle narrows to 26.3°.
- 02
Resolving power headroom
The lens is designed to resolve 6 MP across the full 2/3" format. This camera places only 2 MP on a much smaller 1/2.53" area, so the lens resolves well beyond what the sensor needs, and there is no optical bottleneck. However, the 3.45 µm pixels are small, so diffraction grows as the aperture is stopped down. Beyond F8 the diffraction limit approaches the pixel size, so F2.8 to F5.6 is recommended.
- 03
Distortion
The rated 0.51% distortion is a low-distortion design suited to dimensional measurement and alignment. That figure covers the full 2/3" image circle; this camera uses only its center (1/2.53"), so effective distortion is lower still. For precision metrology, calibration (distortion correction) is still recommended.
- 04
Flange back and mechanical clearance
Both are C-mount, so they connect directly with no adapter. Note that the camera body is 29 × 29 × 42 mm and 100 g, while the lens is Φ33.0 × 41.2 mm: the lens diameter exceeds the body width (29 mm). If the camera is mounted flush against a wall or bracket the lens can interfere, so allow Φ33 mm of clearance in the mount design. In vibrating environments, a bracket that also supports the lens is recommended.
