Hi ive been looking at what a good lens would be for a arecont 5105. need to be between 3-5mm and its a indoor camera with quite a bit of light. Ive looked at a few and not sure what to go with. seen a few that are IR, day and night but im not sure if you can use a IR lens on a NON ir camera (sorry im sorta new to this), its a bit confusing being that camera is a 5 megapixel and there is few lens' that are rated to 5 megapixel. Any information would be great. Thanks

yes i did look at fujinon found this lens ratede at 3megapixel http://www.fujinon.com/Security/Product.aspx?cat=1043&id=1175 seems their 5megapixel lenses start at a focal length of 12.5mm which is a bit long for what i intend to use it for

Thanks for the reply wire guys. Looking at the rainbow lens' doesnt show anything more than 2 megapixel in a 3-8ish mm range. unless im blind . The tuss lens' look not too bad, currently looking for a distrubutior for those and see what availablity is like Also have been looking at the Kowa LM3NCM http://www.kowa-usa.com/kowanewweb/lenses/fa6.html and the Computar H3Z4518CS-MPIR http://computarganz.com/product_view.cfm?product_id=779 anyone have any experience using those lens'? would they give a descent image on a 5mp cam? Thanks in advance guys!

Thanks very much guys its good to know that information. Back to the hunt then for a good lens.
