1.Can industrial lenses be used on cameras?
Industrial lenses are generally lenses designed for industrial applications with specific features and functions. Although they are different from ordinary camera lenses, industrial lenses can also be used on cameras in some cases.
Although industrial lenses may be used on cameras, the following factors need to be considered when selecting and matching, and testing and adaptation work should be done to ensure that they can be used normally on the camera and achieve the expected shooting effect:
Focal length and aperture.
The focal length and aperture of industrial lenses may be different from traditional lenses of cameras. The appropriate focal length and aperture control need to be considered to ensure the desired picture effect.
Interface compatibility.
Industrial lenses usually have different interfaces and screw designs, which may not be compatible with the lens interfaces of traditional cameras. Therefore, when using industrial lenses, you need to ensure that the interface of the industrial lens is suitable for the camera used.
Functional compatibility.
Since industrial lenses are primarily designed for industrial applications, they may be limited in functions such as autofocus and optical image stabilization. When used on a camera, all camera functions may not be available or special settings may be required.
Adapters.
Industrial lenses can sometimes be mounted on cameras using adapters. Adapters can help solve interface incompatibility issues, but they may also affect the performance of the lens.

2.What is the difference between industrial lenses and camera lenses?
The differences between industrial lenses and camera lenses are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
On design features.
Industrial lenses are generally designed with a fixed focal length to accommodate specific shooting and analysis needs. Camera lenses usually have variable focal length and zoom capabilities, making it easy to adjust the field of view and magnification in different scenarios.
On application scenarios.
Industrial lenses are mainly used in the industrial field, focusing on tasks such as industrial monitoring, automation control and quality control. Camera lenses are mainly used for photography and film and television shooting, focusing on capturing images and videos of static or dynamic scenes.
On interface type.
Commonly used interface designs for industrial lenses are C-mount, CS-mount or M12 interface, which are convenient for connecting to cameras or machine vision systems. Camera lenses usually use standard lens mounts, such as Canon EF mount, Nikon F mount, etc., which are used to adapt to different brands and models of cameras.
On optical properties.
Industrial lenses pay more attention to image quality and accuracy, and pursue parameters such as lower distortion, chromatic aberration, and longitudinal resolution to meet the requirements of precise measurement and image analysis. Camera lenses pay more attention to picture performance and pursue artistic and aesthetic effects, such as color restoration, background blur, and out-of-focus effects.
Withstand the environment.
Industrial lenses generally need to work in harsh industrial environments and require high impact resistance, friction resistance, dustproof and waterproof properties. Camera lenses are usually used in relatively benign environments and have relatively low requirements for environmental tolerance.
