    Production spread causes tolerances for all values, including actual focal lengths. Calculations apply for image reproduction without distortion. Therefore, values do not apply for fisheye lenses. Please ask your Allied Vision Sales representative in case you need more information. Optical vignetting with certain lenses Lenses with short focal lengths may show optical vignetting at the edges of the image.

    Lenses: Focal length vs. field of view About S-Mount lenses Alvium G5/G5X S-Mount models have no filter. We recommend using S-Mount lenses with an integrated IR-cut filter for a better image quality. Read Mounting and focusing S-Mount lenses on page 155 to avoid damage when using S-Mount lenses.
