Sifter 0 Posted April 21, 2013 How much difference is there between these two F stops in a real world environment? Also, will I really notice a difference between 2.8mm and 3.6mm in a QCN7001B? Im referring to these two lenses from M12. http://www.m12lenses.com/2-8mm-F2-0-Mega-Pixel-CCTV-Board-Lens-p/pt-02820mp.htm http://www.m12lenses.com/3-6mm-F1-8-Mega-Pixel-CCTV-Board-Lens-p/pt-03618mp.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kawboy12R 0 Posted April 21, 2013 F-stops no, but there'll be quite a noticeable difference in the fields of view and "zoom" of a 2.8 and 3.6mm lens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewireguys 3 Posted April 22, 2013 3.6 = AOV of 85 2.8 = AOV of 92 with a 1/3 sensor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sifter 0 Posted April 22, 2013 Ive seen several posts where people have tried the 3.6mm with my camera, but has anyone tried the 2.8mm? Any shots available? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stanislav 0 Posted May 6, 2013 Ive seen several posts where people have tried the 3.6mm with my camera, but has anyone tried the 2.8mm? Any shots available? Here is expected difference between f=2.8mm/F2.0 and f=.3.6mm/F1.8 in low light. When the light is sufficient there will be no difference in contrast and noise. f=2.8mm/F2.0 f=.3.6mm/F1.8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
