3.4 ADAPTERS FOR STANDARD LENS
NECTA family has some adapters available (described in Table 3.1) which allow using standard lens. The
housing of NECTA cameras also allows to easily build custom adapters for optical lens, to achieve the
performance, economy and precision level required even by the most demanding application.
3.4.1 Choosing the right adapter
Due to sensor width, not all NECTA camera can be equipped with C-Mount lens mount. Table 3.1 shows
a compatibility diagram between NECTA models and available lens adapters.
