The 16mm/10MP Lens for HQ Camera is a telephoto lens designed to work with the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera, providing a more narrow angle of view compared to wider angle lenses, which makes it ideal for capturing distant objects with greater clarity. This lens features a manual aperture, allowing users to adjust the amount of light that enters the camera, and an adjustable focus, ensuring sharp images regardless of the subject's distance.
Key specifications of this lens include a 16mm focal length, which is beneficial for focusing on subjects at a distance without compromising image quality. The aperture range of F1.4–16 gives photographers control over the depth of field and the exposure of their images. The lens also comes with a back focus adjustment ring and lock screw, enabling precise tuning of the focus to achieve the desired level of sharpness.
The 16mm lens has a compact design with dimensions of 39mm x 50mm, making it a convenient addition to the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera setup. It is made of aluminum alloy with an anodized black finish, adding to its durability and aesthetic appeal. The lens is also relatively lightweight, with a weight of 133.7g, ensuring that it does not add significant bulk to the camera system.
One important aspect to consider is the crop factor when using this lens with the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera. The camera has a sensor size that results in a crop factor of 5.5x, which means that the effective focal length will be longer than the native focal length of the lens. This is particularly important to keep in mind when composing shots, as it will affect the field of view and the perceived zoom of the lens.
In summary, the 16mm/10MP Lens for HQ Camera is a valuable accessory for the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera, particularly for applications where distant subjects need to be captured with high resolution and clarity. Its adjustable aperture and focus, combined with the narrow angle of view, make it a versatile choice for a variety of photography and video projects.
