About this item

The Arducam LN040 is a precision CS-mount lens designed specifically for use with the Raspberry Pi High Quality (HQ) Camera. Featuring a 12mm focal length, this lens delivers a moderately narrow field of view, ideal for applications that require a closer, more detailed look at mid-to-distant subjects. With manual focus and adjustable iris, the lens gives users full control over image sharpness and exposure, making it suitable for professional and industrial use cases such as machine vision, object detection, quality inspection, and surveillance. The optical elements are made of high-grade glass, ensuring minimal distortion and accurate color reproduction. Built with a durable metal housing, the LN040 is engineered to maintain stability and optical performance in both lab and field environments. Its CS-mount design allows direct compatibility with the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera without additional adapters, offering a simple plug-and-play experience for developers and makers alike. Whether you're building a smart vision system or setting up a scientific imaging platform, this 12mm lens provides the optical precision and flexibility needed for high-resolution projects on the Raspberry Pi.
