Z10 HD Mini Zoom Lens

This 10X, C-mount lens design utilises cutting edge technology to enable the lens to be kept very compact. Floating cell technology allows the moving cells to be compact and light which in turn allows smaller motors to be used to drive the movements. Low dispersion glass is used to keep the length of the lens compact and still provide a quality HD image. The design also allows for an impressive f/1.8 aperture to be maintained throughout 80% of the zoom travel with a minimum aperture of f/2.8.

The lens was specifically designed to work with three interchangeable rear cells for 1/3" 3chip, 1/3" single chip and 2/3" single chip sensors. The rear cells are customer changeable. At 45mm square and 100 mm (2/3" version) long the Z10 is truly compact yet has the optical performance of a much larger lens.

Considerably smaller and much lighter (< 500g) than comparible HD zoom lenses – the Z10 is able to focus upon objects as close as 450mm from the lens.

A novel design camera mount cleverly incorporates topside and back focus adjustment so that the lens can quickly and easily be set-up on any camera. The Z10 offers an elegant solution for the applications in broadcast TV, space restricted machine vision and CCTV monitoring that require the highest quality images.
