Specifications, Requirements, and PrecautionsBasler sprint Color Cameras 51.3 Lens Adapters1.3.1 Lens Adapters for 2k and 4k CamerasAn F-mount lens adapter is standard for all cameras with 2048 pixels per line (2k cameras) and with4096 pixels per line (4k cameras).For 4k cameras, an optional M42 lens adapter is also available.For 2k cameras, an optional M42 lens adapter and an optional C-mount lens adapter are alsoavailable.For cameras with 8192 pixels per line (8k cameras), a helical mount or a lens mount with V-Baslerinterface are required as adapters. For more information about the optical components and how toobtain them, see Section 1.3.2.1 on page 6 and Section 1.3.2.2 on page 8.1.3.2 Lens Adapters for the 8k CameraBasler sprint 8k cameras feature specific V-Basler interfaces which allow connecting to Basler-specific adapters. Two Basler-specific adapters are available: UNIFOC 100/95_/_V-Basler helical mount, a Basler-specific modification of UNIFOC 100/95 ofSchneider-Kreuznach M58 x 0.75_/_V-Basler lens mount, a Basler-specific conical tube.The choice of a Basler-specific adapter, further optical components, and lens depends e.g. on themagnification and the working distance required by your application. Contact Basler technicalsupport for selecting the Basler-specific adapter, further optical components, and the lens that willbest suit your requirements.For information about obtaining the UNIFOC 100/95_/_V-Basler helical mount or theM58 x 0.75_/_V-Basler lens mount, contact Basler technical support.For information about additional optical components and about how to obtain them, visit e.g. theSchneider-Kreuznach website: www.schneiderkreuznach.com.NoteWhen a C-mount lens is used with a 2k camera, the image produced by thepixels near the ends of the sensor lines may appear degraded. This effect iscaused by using a lens with a relatively small diameter compared to the lengthof the sensor lines. Typically, use of a C-mount lens on 2k cameras isappropriate in applications where the image data from pixels near the ends ofeach line can be discarded.
