A few weeks back there was a little discussion on this blog regarding the scarcity of information about lens performance. Well this should probably be posted under the heading of “One small step for a machine vision engineer,” but lens manufacturer Kowa seems to have responded.
Kowa have redesigned their web site to make information on industrial FA lenses more accessible. I’ve spent some time clicking through, and I have to say that it works well. Lens types – 2/3” High Resolution, ½” 3CCD Megapixel and so on – are listed down the left of the page. Clicking on these takes you to a listing of models of that type. Best of all, MTF data is provided.
All I want now is an on-line price list.

Just wanted to let you know that Edmund Optics has launched new specsheets on our most common lens families like our TECHSPEC Compact Fixed Focal Length Lenses:
http://www.edmundoptics.com/products/displayproduct.cfm?productid=3070
Under the Documents/Downloads tab. We will be rolling it out to all our Edmund designed lens families over the rest of the year.
I hope this helps with lens selection choice.
