Announcing the Release of 1/3"-format F/1.0 IR-corrected, Fast, High Resolution, Vari-Focal Lenses Delivering 650 Line Resolution (Model 13VM308ASIRII / 13VG308ASIRII)

Tamron announces the release of two IR-corrected high-speed Vari-Focal (3.0-8mm F/1.0) lenses (Models13VM308ASIRII/13VG308ASIRII)

The Development Background

Improved image sensor and image-processing in ICs has accelerated the development of high quality, high sensitivity surveillance video. This improved performance has put more demands on surveillance camera lenses. New lenses have to deliver enhanced resolution performance and descriptive performance without color smear. At Tamron, we took a new approach to achieve maximum performance from these new cameras, and thus have developed two next-generation Vari-Focal lenses.

Main Features

• 1. High-resolution optical design achieving over 650 lines of horizontal resolution
• 2. Clear images without color smear by minimizing chromatic aberration
• 3. Fast F/1.0 maximum aperture
• 4. Near-infrared correction compatible with Day/Night cameras
• 5. Compact design
