Notes

  • Based on Optical Resolution of a Camera and Lens System
  • CS-mount focal distance: 12.526 mm
  • C-mount focal distance: 17.526 mm
  • Micro Four-Thirds: 19.25 mm
  • See also Lens mount at Wikipedia
  • The Circle of Confusion used is equal to the circle inscribed in a pixel. Most online sources use a rather arbitrary factor of 4-5x pixel size.

TODO:

  • BFL and lens sizing calculations
