Matching a lens type with mount type can be frustrating if you've purchased a lens and discovered that it cannot focus on your camera. If you are running into this problem, you're not alone! Check this lens mount compatibility chart to help you determine if you accidentally chose an incompatible lens for your camera.

Cs mount

A Variable ND filter will let you cut the amount of light in your scene by two to eight f/stops. It is essentially a fourth way to control the exposure, working along with shutter speed, aperture and ISO sensitivity.

A Variable ND filter is an optically transparent filter that allows you to adjust its opacity and knock down the brightness of the light between two to eight stops, without effecting color or anything else.

For S-Mount or M12 Lenses, a mechanical comparison is needed between the lens, the lens mount, and the camera housing. The mechanical design for each M12 lens is different, as this mount type is not standardized.Industrial machine vision manufacturers can use S-Mount when referencing M12x0.5 thread specifications. This is a result of using C / CS mount terminology for several decades. The S-Mount term is less accurate and does not specify a maximum/minor thread diameter tolerance. The term "M12 Lens" or M12x0.5 can include tolerances such as M12x0.5-6H or M12x0.5-6G, for example. The M12x0.5 specification is not included in ISO724, or common 3D modeling software, because the camera industry needed a smaller thread pitch to achieve accurate focusing.Please note that this table assumes that your CS-mount or C-mount camera do not have artificial MBFL constraints. The Teledyne/FLIR/PointGrey Blackfly CS / C mount cameras are not compatible with all CS and C mount lenses unless the IR filter is removed.The back focal length and diameters of M12 / S Mount lenses are frequently incompatible with CS and C Mount cameras, resulting in a lens-to-mount combination which cannot be focused. This incompatibility can also occur with other M12 lens mounts.

A Variable ND filter is so useful because it is variable. After placing the filter on the lens, simply rotate it to dial in the correct exposure.

You can also use it as a substitute for something pros call “riding iris,” which means adjusting the exposure while you shoot as your scene changes in brightness. To do this, you rotate the filter and smoothly adjust the exposure as the lighting changes, like when panning from a darker area to a brighter one, all the time keeping the same f/stop and the same depth of field.

Photographers love the shallow focus look you can get when you shoot with a fast lens, wide open but did you also know that you can get that same look and feel when shooting movies with a DSLR? It really gives them that film-like feel.

One of the first questions inevitably asked when designing vision systems is a variant of the following: - Will my CS Mount Lens work with my C Camera Mount? - Will my C Mount Lens work with my CS Camera Mount? - What is the difference between a S Mount lens and a M12 lens? If you've asked one of these questions, have run into an incompatibility, or just want to learn, you've found the right page! We've found that there are few simple answers to this frequently asked question and put together this brief summary. We can also help you check the compatibility of our lenses with your camera.

Shooting in bright daylight, oftentimes it can be nearly impossible to shoot wide open without blowing out your exposure. It’s easy to do so though, when you have a Variable Neutral Density or Variable ND filter.
