Low-distortion imaging across wide magnification and working-distance ranges
Ten lens-shift designs cover 4–75 mm focal lengths, 1/2- to 2/3-inch sensors and model-specific magnification and working-distance ranges while controlling TV distortion.

Optical performance and model-specific limits
Use the numerical model limits together with MTF, field-curvature, distortion and transmission plots to evaluate image quality across the required field.
Match focal length, magnification, working distance and sensor in one row
Start with the sensor and required field of view, then compare optical and mechanical constraints within one complete model row.

Working-distance endpoints follow the product record and align with the magnification endpoints in the same row.
Validate the extension-tube configuration and real working distance
The family is intended to work across a broad magnification range, including extension-tube layouts. Select one row, then validate the actual lens shift, focus travel, field and clearance on the final camera.
Sensor
Use only a 1/2-inch or 2/3-inch sensor supported by the selected row.
Operating point
Keep magnification and working-distance endpoints aligned within one model row.
Extension tubes
Confirm the required tube stack and available focus travel before fixing the machine layout.
Image validation
Measure distortion, field coverage and edge detail on the actual target.
Validate the selected lens on the real camera and workpiece
Confirm field of view, focus, corner performance, distortion tolerance, working-distance margin, mount fit and machine clearance under representative production conditions.
