Now, they have introduced their next generation 5MP series,\u00a0 the new XA-5M<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0,\u00a0 and they have made them smaller, better, and less expensive!\u00a0\u00a0Now you can get a 5MP rated lens for very close to what 2 or 3MP lens cost with the new HF-XA-5M series lenses!\u00a0 1stVision has preferred pricing and stock!\u00a0\u00a0 Contact us for a quote<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Fujinon XA-5M are designed to work at 3.45um resolution (and very good at 2.5um), so they are a great choice for the 3.45um pixels found in the Sony Pregius IMX line of sensors.<\/a>\u00a0 See image below showing a heat map of the resolution.(Darker red is higher resolution, 2.7um, orange is 3.3, yellow is 4um, light blue is 5um, and dark blue is 6um)<\/p>\n

Further, the new CMOS sensors have more of a \u2018stacked\u2019 architecture, meaning each pixel is tall.\u00a0 Without having a lens that has a small chief ray angle, which keeps the light rays as close to perpendicular as possible to the sensor, each pixel possibly shades its neighbor.\u00a0 The new Fujinon lenses are designed to solve that problem for these sensors.\u00a0 So when comparing this line to their competitors, there is less shading at the edges and more even illumination!<\/p>\n

The results can be seen when comparing the center to edges in an application.\u00a0 In the example below, the text in the center and edge on the FUJI “4D High Resolution” lenses is crisp vs the competition on the right.<\/p>\n
