dolladave 0 Posted January 24, 2012 Anyone here use the computar lenses? I just scored a heck of a deal on a brand new T5Z8513CS-IR lens varifocal, manual Iris 8.5-40mm. Gave $35 bucks for it brand new in the box. I know buying them retail they go for about $90.00 plus/minus a few. I picked up a pelco 13VA5-50 for really cheap the other day also and was extremely impressed with it but was unable to overcome the IR focus shift while using it on an IR camera.

Soundy 1 Posted January 24, 2012 I've used plenty of Computar lenses - they're a good name. Nice score on that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dolladave 0 Posted January 24, 2012 When I picked up the Pelco, I knew it wasn't an IR corrected lens but I figured I'd give it a shot, it's an awesome lens and puts the stock lens that came on my cheaper cams to shame but just can't get it to focus for day and night. Hoping to try out the Computar this evening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dvarapala 0 Posted January 24, 2012 I have a Computar 25mm MP lens and it's been great so far (been in use for about a year now). I only wish I'd paid $35 for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
