1.4.2 Maximum Allowed Lens Thread Length
The C-mount lens mount and the CS-mount lens mount on all cameras is normally equipped with
a plastic filter holder. The length of the threads on any lens you use with the cameras depends on
the lens adapter type you use with the camera:
Camera with C-mount lens adapter (see Figure 27):
The thread length can be a maximum of 9.6 mm, and the lens can intrude into the camera body
a maximum of 10.8 mm.
Camera with CS-mount lens adapter (see Figure 28):
The thread length can be a maximum of 4.6 mm, and the lens can intrude into the camera body
a maximum of 5.8 mm.
NOTICE
If either of these limits is exceeded, the lens mount or the filter holder will be damaged or
destroyed and the camera will no longer operate properly.
Note that on color cameras, the filter holder will be populated with an IR cut filter. On
monochrome cameras, the filter holder will be present, but will not be populated with an IR cut
filter.
