Find A Lens For Your Vision Camera Prototype
Start with Off-the-Shelf Lenses for Your Prototype.
We provide cost-effective M12 lenses and CS mount lenses to help you get started quickly.
M12 lenses are a light-weight, miniature, method to achieve outstanding image quality. These board mount lenses can provide better performance than CS and C-mount lenses.


Each of these lenses needs an M12 to CS mount adapter to be used with CS or C mount cameras. Please check the compatibility of your camera and lens combination after reading our knowledge base page Lens Mounts 101.
