The lens mount is compatible with C-mount lenses. Correct focus cannot be achieved using a CS-mount lens on a C-mount camera.

Example C-mount Cross Section

Back Flange Distance

The Back Flange Distance (BFD) is offset due to the presence of both a 1 mm infrared cutoff (IRC) filter and a 0.5 mm sensor package window. These two pieces of glass fit between the lens and the sensor image plane. The IRC filter is installed on color cameras. In monochrome cameras, it is a transparent piece of glass. The sensor package window is installed by the sensor manufacturer. Both components cause refraction, which requires some offset in flange back distance to correct.

The resulting C-mount BFD is 17.99 mm.

For more information about the IRC filter, see Infrared Cut-Off Filters.
