Lens selectioncamera

First of all, it must be possible to mount the optics to the existing camera. There are different connection types like C-mount, CS-mount, S-mount, F-mount, M42 to M72. Except for the F-mount (Nikon bayonet), all optics can usually be screwed in by means of a fine thread.

In simple terms, only the appropriate focal length of the lens must be calculated for a certain working distance and the lens must be capable to expose the full size of the sensor (sufficient image circle diameter).

However, also the optic details like resolution, MTF, coatings, etc. and in particular the type of the optic imaging should be considered in order to achieve an image as perfect as possible for the evaluation.
