One of the interesting markets for the new lenses is in machine vision
cameras.


Nikon is the standard mount for machine vision cameras.

One intersting machine vision lens is the 'telecentric'

Make an interesting Macro lens, n'est ce pas?


Strange item. I notice that quite often many machine vision lenses are
only sold in lots, or with the camera. Last year I got to do a project
where one of the test machines sent to us was a machine vision camera
with three 24 mm by 36 mm chips and a light splitter prism. Interesting
stuff, though the insurance value on that one body was quite high. We
were very careful with everything.
