Normal lens for the money with flaws

First, the lens works. You must remove the adapter on your camera to achieve focus. Then loosen the back focus screw on the camera and rotate it about an eighth of an inch, and then retighten the back focus screw. Screw in the lens and you can focus perfectly. When the lens is wide open or about half closed, the picture is pretty good. As you stop the lens more, the imperfections of the lens become apparent. Dust, bubbles and a small chip on the lens are noticeable, so shooting in very bright…

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Nothing

Budget Option for Raspberry Pi HQ Camera

This is normal when paired with a Raspberry Pi HQ Camera. This is a very low price for a variable CCTV lens. The quality of the photos is definitely reflected in the low cost. My app was good to use in a cheap Raspberry Pi HQ camera project.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Fits

Disappointing: Single Board Computer

Expect some variation in focus and scene mapping. The focus turned out to be 3 to 4 inches in front of the lens, about the diameter of the center of my palm. The painting advertised was a street scene. Maybe I did something seriously wrong. These images would be good for photographing US postage stamps, nothing more.

Pros
  • Pleasing
Cons
  • Appearance

You get what you pay for.

Surprisingly good quality for the price. The attached photo is from a high quality Raspberry Pi camera. You can see some blurring and vignetting in the corners, but it's reasonable.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • So-so

Good quality lens at a great price

I bought this 25mm lens for my Raspberry Pi HD camera and am happy with the quality. The focus adjustment is nice and smooth and has a good focus range. I recorded a short video using my camera as a zoom lens to see small items on my workbench. I turn my desk lamp on and off to demonstrate how it reacts to different lighting conditions and also adjust the focus. The camera is about 300mm away from objects.

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • so far so good

Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A very nice lens. There is still room for improvement. Impeccable customer support.

The packaging came very nice, well done. The quality of the material of the lenses seems to be very good, they are strong and durable. The lens is still light, mainly due to its size. Externally it looks very beautiful, the varnish seems resistant, printed letters are very clear. What to Expect: The front lens thread appears to be larger in the product images so it would be possible to fit a filter but this was not the case with what I received. The front thread is small, I don't think it can…

Pros
  • It just works - we tested this lens alongside many other options for the RPi HQ 12MP camera. No lens shading, no dark corners, decent image quality, everything just works.
Cons
  • Not sure
