1.4.2 Maximum Allowed Lens Thread Length
The C-mount lens mount on all cameras is normally equipped with a plastic filter holder. As shown
in Figure 5, the length of the threads on any lens you use with the camera can be a maximum of
9.6 mm, and the lens can intrude into the camera body a maximum of 10.8 mm. If either of these
limits is exceeded, the lens mount or the filter holder will be damaged or destroyed and the camera
will no longer operate properly.
Note that on color cameras, the filter holder will be populated with an IR-cut filter. On monochrome
cameras, the filter holder will be present, but will not be populated with a filter.
