Lens, Ricoh FL-BC1618-9M 16mm 1″ 9MP, 1.1″ 12MP C-mount manual

The Ricoh FL-BC Series of High Quality C-mount manual lenses are perfect for high resolution 1″ (9MP) and 1.1″ (12MP) camera sensors with a pixel size down to 3.4μm.  These lenses feature a minimum 147 lp/mm resolution across the image and low distortion to maximise performance.  Chromatic aberration from close to infinity is kept to a minimum, and light transmission from visible to NIR remains high thanks to the lens coating and floating mechanism system.  Despite the lens’ compact size (42mm diameter) vignetting is reduced to the minimum and perfect high contrast images are achieved to the edges.  The lenses all feature a precision floating focus mechanism contributing to high performance low distortion, high resolution images from infinity right down to the excellent minimum object distance.

The Ricoh FL-BC1618-9M is a 16mm 43.8° 1″ 9 Megapixel / 47.4° 1.1″ 12 Megapixel C-mount lens.  It is perfect for compact machine vision applications including image measurement.  We also supply these lenses for use in film, broadcast and high end surveillance situations where a large sensor, high resolution and low image distortion is required.  The 80mm minimum object distance also makes the lens ideal for macro work. Ricoh FL-BC series lenses are a perfect partner with the Back-Bone modified Sony DSC-RX0 cameras and are used extensively by Natural History Film makers to capture a perfect image with a super compact camera system.
