The Arducam LN054 is a C-Mount telephoto lens engineered for the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera (IMX477), featuring a 50mm focal length, manual focus, and an adjustable aperture from F1.8 to F16 for precise depth-of-field control in machine vision and photography applications.

Features

  • 50mm Telephoto Focal Length – Delivers a narrow 10°(H)×7°(V) field of view on the 12MP IMX477 sensor, ideal for detailed inspection, portraiture, and long-range imaging.
  • Adjustable Manual Aperture (F1.8-F16) – Provides full control over depth of field and light intake, from wide-open low-light performance to stopped-down sharpness.
  • 2/3″ Optical Format C-Mount – Standard industrial lens mount compatible with the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera via a C/CS adapter, ensuring secure mechanical and optical alignment.
  • Manual Focus & 0.5m MOD – Enables precise focus adjustment down to a 0.5-meter minimum object distance for close-up detail capture.
  • Optimized for IMX477 Sensor – Tested and verified for minimal vignetting (lens shading) and excellent corner-to-corner image quality on the Raspberry Pi platform.

Description

The Arducam LN054 is a purpose-built C-Mount telephoto lens designed to unlock the full imaging potential of the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera Module (IMX477 sensor). Its 50mm focal length provides a significantly tighter field of view compared to standard board lenses, making it suitable for applications requiring detail isolation, subject magnification, or compressed perspective, such as part inspection, wildlife monitoring, or studio product photography.

Engineered with an adjustable iris, the lens offers an aperture range from F1.8 to F16. This allows developers and photographers to finely tune exposure and depth of field, balancing light gathering in low-light conditions with maximum sharpness and extended focus range in bright environments. The all-manual focus mechanism provides tactile, repeatable control for achieving critical focus on subjects as close as 0.5 meters.

As a dedicated accessory from Arducam, a leader in embedded vision, the LN054 is rigorously tested for optical performance on the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera’s 12MP IMX477 sensor. It ensures no dark corners or vignetting, delivering clean, high-resolution imagery directly over the native CSI-2 interface without requiring additional drivers or signal conversion.

Key Features

  • Telephoto 50mm focal length for detailed, magnified imaging on Raspberry Pi HQ Camera.
  • Manual adjustable aperture from F1.8 (wide open) to F16 (stopped down) for exposure and depth-of-field control.
  • Standard 2/3" optical format C-Mount design with a 17.53mm back focal length for proper sensor alignment.
  • Manual focus ring enables precise adjustment with a 0.5-meter minimum object distance (MOD).
  • Optimized optical design to eliminate vignetting and dark corners on the 1/2.3" IMX477 sensor.
  • Compact and lightweight metal barrel construction (34mm diameter, 87g weight) for stable mounting.
  • Direct compatibility with the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera's CSI interface for plug-and-play high-speed data transfer.
  • Cost-effective telephoto solution for machine vision, surveillance, and high-quality photography projects.

Applications

  • Machine Vision & Industrial Inspection – Detailed part recognition, quality control, and measurement.
  • Raspberry Pi Photography & Videography – Telephoto shots, portrait photography, and compressed landscape scenes.
  • Surveillance & Security Monitoring – Long-range observation and detail capture for perimeter security.
  • Wildlife & Nature Observation – Magnified imaging of distant subjects in field research setups.
  • Educational & STEM Projects – Teaching optics, focal length, aperture, and computational photography principles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this lens compatible with the standard Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2?

No, the Arducam LN054 is specifically designed for the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera (HQ Camera) which uses a larger 1/2.3" IMX477 sensor and a different mounting system. The standard Camera Module V2 has a smaller sensor and a fixed-focus M12 mount, making it physically and optically incompatible with this C-Mount telephoto lens. You must use the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera module for proper functionality.

How do I adjust the aperture and focus on this lens?

The aperture is adjusted by rotating the front ring on the lens barrel, marked with F-stop values from F1.8 to F16. The focus is manually controlled by turning the textured focus ring located behind the aperture ring. For best results, use a live preview on your Raspberry Pi display to visually achieve sharp focus. The lens has a minimum focusing distance of 0.5 meters, so ensure your subject is beyond this range for clear imaging.

Do I need any additional adapters to mount this lens on my Raspberry Pi HQ Camera?

The Raspberry Pi HQ Camera kit typically includes a C/CS-mount adapter. You must attach this adapter to the camera board first. Then, you can screw the Arducam LN054 lens directly onto the adapter's C-Mount threads. Ensure the connection is snug but not over-tightened. No electrical adapters or software drivers are required, as the lens is a purely passive optical component.

What is the field of view when using this 50mm lens on the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera?

On the 1/2.3" IMX477 sensor of the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera, this 50mm lens provides a horizontal field of view of approximately 10 degrees and a vertical field of view of about 7 degrees. This is a telephoto perspective, significantly narrower than the stock lens, making it ideal for applications where you need to magnify distant subjects or isolate specific details within a scene without digital zoom.

Can this lens be used for low-light photography or video?

Yes, the lens performs well in low-light conditions when the aperture is set to its widest opening of F1.8. This setting allows the maximum amount of light to reach the IMX477 sensor. However, depth of field will be very shallow at F1.8, so precise manual focus is critical. For well-lit scenes, you can stop down to F8 or F16 for greater depth of field and overall image sharpness.
