For most Adimec cameras, you’ll encounter a flat plate interface that aligns with the sensor. Since all applications require optics in front of the camera, a lens mount is essential.

If you’re looking at our selection of lens mounts, it might seem overwhelming at first. But don’t worry—this blog will simplify the process and make your choice much easier.

Step 1: Identify Your Camera

The first step is to determine which camera model you need for your application. This seems straightforward, right? Once you have the camera model number, refer to our downloadable lens mount overview sheet available [HERE] to find the screw pitch specifications.

Understanding the Lens Mount Overview Sheet

Let’s break down how to use the sheet effectively.

Decoding the Basics

The first section provides information on “Pitch 31-mm,” which refers to the spacing between mounting holes on the camera face. This standard pitch is compatible with a wide range of cameras.

In the block containing lens mount images, you’ll find details such as diameter, thread specifications, and back focus distance for each mount listed. The back focus distance is directly related to the specific lens it’s designed for. For example, C-mount lenses typically have a back focus distance of 17.526 mm, which corresponds to the standard spacing for these lenses.

As you move across the table, you’ll encounter various mounts tailored for different lens types:

  • C-mount
  • M42 mount
  • KAI-02X5 mount

Each of these is specifically designed for their respective lenses. Further down the chart, you’ll find mounts compatible with Nikon F, T2, and TFL2 lenses.

Fixed vs. Adjustable Back Focus

Some lens mounts come in fixed back focus versions, while others offer adjustable options. The latter provides greater flexibility if your application requires precise adjustments to the focus system.

Beyond Mounts: Windows and Filters

In addition to mounts, there are specialized components like windows and filters that serve specific purposes:

  • Simple Window: Protects the sensor from debris. Cleaning is easy compared to delicate sensor facets.
  • BG38 UV & IR Cutoff Filter: Preserves color accuracy by blocking unwanted UV or infrared light wavelengths—crucial for cameras with high sensitivity in these ranges.
  • Optical Long Pass Filter (OLPF): Allows you to focus on specific portions of the spectrum, useful when analyzing certain wavelengths.
  • Infrared Cut-off Filter (IRCF): Blocks infrared sensitivity in your camera sensor.
