Why Do 1/2.5'' Basler Lenses Often Fit Better than 2/3'' Lenses?

Many lenses are designed for 2/3“ sensors. Yet the trend in sensor technology points toward smaller sensor sizes. To achieve the highest possible resolution out of these modern sensors, the ideal approach would be to use a lens with a small image circle that corresponds with the small sensor. That’s exactly what Basler Lenses have been designed for! The focal length of the lens must match the sensor size and application configuration. With a range of six different focal lengths Basler Lenses ensure that you can leverage the maximum benefit of their cost-optimized design in a multitude of applications.
