Across the range
Widest zoom range on a 2/3-inch camera?
The 12.5X lenses cover 0.58× to 7.5× at a 77.4 mm working distance, the 14X lens 0.55× to 7.6× with coaxial illumination. The 6.5X lenses cover 0.7× to 4.5× at 80 to 87 mm.
A 1-inch sensor or 4K resolution?
The 4K zoom lenses cover 0.68× to 5.0× at 80 mm and reach 4K horizontal resolution on a 1-inch camera; the 6.5X high-resolution lens covers 0.7× to 4.5× at 88 mm.
Repeatable or automated magnification?
Detented versions lock into fixed magnification positions, motorized versions run from a controller over RS232 or USB, and two detented 6.5X versions report the magnification setting.
2/3-inch sensors
12.5X and 14X Zoom Lenses
The widest zoom ranges: 0.58× to 7.5× at 77.4 mm, or 0.55× to 7.6× with coaxial illumination. Continuous, detented or motorized zoom, with coaxial illumination and 3 mm or 12 mm fine focus.
