Interested in Customizations?
We offer several customizations for our lenses. Contact us to discuss feasibility, Minimum Order Quantities, and NRE requirements.
- Custom filters (bandpass, dual notch, etc..)
- Customized higher F#
- Barrel mechanical design adjustments (e.g. active alignment, ingress protection)
- Hydrophobic coating on front optical surface
- Preassembly with M12 lens holders to reduce anodization debris and match torque
- Optical data (MTF, EFL, etc..) with serialized unit-level traceability
We also consider full custom lens designs starting from 5,000pcs.
