Why choose KOWA - LM-VM?
Innovative screw locking mechanism
Kowa’s VM series features a newly designed switch locking screw mechanism that prevents thumb screws from falling off by utilising a fixing screw that does not rotate in a set position.
The thumb screw locks into place by sliding the fixing screw to the right side. It can then be detached by sliding the fixing screw to the left side.
Suitable for high performance cameras
The lenses are ideal for applications such as line scan used with sensors down to a pixel size of 3.1 µm and suitable for 8K resolution, rated at up to 50 megapixels for use with top performance cameras.
