This Mega Pixel F1.4 version is much better in image quality than the F1.2 version. Great for recording golf swings. I pair this with a Basler high speed USB 3 camera.

it gets the job done

question

I have an APS-C sensor camera nikon d5500. I also have a C mount. Can I use this lens on the camera? Will there be resolution issue?
Asked by: Sethuraj
It wouldn't be recommended due to this lens being designed for a 1/2 inch image sensor. This will lead to a vignette effect.

Will this work with AIDA Cameras using their c-mount to CS mount adapter? The cameras are 4k, and recommend a lens capable of resolving to 8mp.
Asked by: Bryan
No it will not work well with an 8 mp sensor.
