2.4 Mounting a Lens
At first glance mounting a lens seems simple. However, when dealing
with high-quality digital cameras, the selection of an appropriate lens
and its correct mounting can play a decisive role in the image quality.
There are a few recommendations for selecting an appropriate lens in
section 3.2. The following paragraphs provide instructions on the
connection of a lens. The FireWire-CAM-001/002 is compatible with
C- and CS-Mount lenses.
The difference between these two lens types is marginal: If you want
to connect a C-Mount lens, you need to attach a CS/C-adaptor-ring
between the lens and the camera. With CS-Mount lenses, this ring
cannot be used.
