However despite what the desertcart description implies, all but one (the 25mm) have a built-in IR filter. If you intend security/surveillance uses then this is a big problem. IF YOU ARE VERY CAREFUL the IR filters CAN be removed, ok destroyed. They are at the very back, barely a millimeter above the final lens element, and fixed-in pretty good. Suggest using the smallest pointiest 'precision screwdriver' you have as a punch. Tap, very very carefully, at the extreme edge of the filter. It is ultra thin so it'll crack. Then work out the little fragments. Messed up the first one, wasn't gentle enough. I'll suggest a 40 degree outwards angle at the very edge of the filter. Note it is difficult to search for/find lenses without the IR filters even on desertcart. The 'CS'-'M12' adapters are a nice addition and there's even a square thing like I've used to adapt cheaper HP webcams to M12 lenses (gotta tear-up the HP and glue-on the lens carrier). The low-end HPs, 600 series, older ones anyhow, do not have an inherent IR filter. New/expensive ones it's like a permanent coating over the sensor. Combined these lenses with 'ArduCams' which ALSO have an IR filter but you can pry that away with an Xacto knife - again CAREFULLY. "Spinel" made a boxed series without IR filters, but now you can only buy the bare boards. ## Features - What's special - Adapt the CS-Mount for Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera and M12 Mount to access compact and cost-effective M12 lenses, and 6 are included in this box - 20/50/70/90/140/180 degrees horizontal Field of View respectively on the 12MP IMX477. - Why it's better - Arducam selected from a bunch of m12 lenses to present those six. Decent quality, FoV labeled. No more guessing and testing because we've already done the work for you. They just work. - How to use - Screw the M12 to CS-Mount adapter into the back focus adjustment ring on the HQ camera, and pick among the six lenses until you find the desired one. Include cleaning cloth to wipe out dust or fingerprints, and locking ring to fix the lens when in focus. - Applications - Drones where C/CS mount lenses are too heavy for flying, or other applications that require a compact size. Also optical testing where a bunch of lenses with different focal lengths are needed. - Note - Two lens holders are included with 18/20mm hole spacings in case you want to mount them on other 1/2.3" board cameras. Do NOT use it on the HQ camera board because they won't match. And this lens kit does not come with an IR filter. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B088D85GGX | | Best Sellers Rank | #187,618 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #106 in Camera Lens Adapters & Converters | | Brand | Arducam | | Camera Lens | The Arducam M12 Lens Kit for Raspberry Pi HQ Camera features an ultra-wide angle prime fisheye lens with a focal length range of 14 to 24 millimeters, offering a real angle of view of 180 degrees.
