Kowa JC10M Series - used for 3D production!
Kowa JC10M lens series has been used for the first 3D production from ZDF for a documentary about two extreme-climbing brothers, the "Huberbuam",
famously known for their film "To The Limit".
ZDF tested Kowa lenses in combination with sinaCAM and decided to use it for their first 3D HD production. The astonishing resolution and image quality as well as the wide range of different focal lengths gives Kowa a unique position in this high-end market for C-mount HD-camera accessories!

TP556 – innovative flexible telephoto lens system.
Kowa is introducing and innovative high-end telephoto F-mount lenses system. This new flexible system is adjustable for 3 different focal lengths using same master lens and can be used alternatively as a spotting scope.
The master lens TP556 is designed as a 500mm/F5.6 F-mount lens. To minimize chromatic aberration (color blur) that occurs in long focal length lenses, the [PROMINAR] telephoto lens utilizes one pure fluorite crystal lens and two XD (eXtra-low-Dispersion) lenses. Bringing together the advanced optical technology fostered through decades of optics development (industrial optics and sporting optics) with the use of a fluorite crystal lens has produced a camera lens with extremely high contrast and sharp image.
The converter TX07 can be fixed by a bayonet mount to the master lens and changes the optical system to a 350mm/F4.0 lens. In combination with the TX17 adapter the lens specification will change to 850mm/F9.6.

NEW:
4/3“ C-mount lenses
Kowa is offering new series of 4/3” C-mount lenses for sensor size with 23mm image cycle. Resolution of this new XC-series is 160lp/mm in the centre and thus it matches perfectly for example with the new Kodak sensor KAI-08050. The new XC-series includes 5 different models with focal length between 12mm up to 50mm.
Just as other machine vision lenses from Kowa this new series is constructed to withstand high requirements on vibration, shock and temperature. All models are equipped with a special broadband coating for extraordinary transmission at NIR wave length.
This new series will be available from April 2011

NEW:
43,3mm Line Scan Lenses
Kowa expand its wide portfolio of lenses for industrial vision applications by a new „Large Format“ series for 43,3mm sensor size.
The new LF-Series includes 3 different models with focal length of 28mm, 35mm and 50mm. All lenses are optimized for extra high resolution and contrast from the centre to the edge with only little distortion. Due to a minimum focusing distance of less than 30cm all 3 models are suitable for close-up applications. All lenses are especially designed for industrial applications with manual focus and iris equipped with locking screws. A special lens construction in a metal housing is taking the harsh environmental requirements for industrial applications into account.

We will be present at Vision 2011
in Stuttgart 08. - 10. November 2011
Kowa will present its new developments during Vision 2011. As usual we will introduce new lenses to our customers together with our optical and mechanical engineering team from Japan. We are looking forward to welcoming and discussing with you face to face at out booth in hall 6 booth C48

NEW:
1” SWIR lens series!
The new 1” SWIR lenses are designed for the new generation of NIR/SWIR cameras with high sensitivity at wavelength between 800nm – 2000 nm. The new series is named HC-SW and different models with focal length of 25mm, 35mm and 50mm are available.
Kowa succeeded to manufacture this high quality SWIR lenses by using a special coating technology and unique glass material. Complete new series can be seen and tested during Vision 2009.

NEW:
2/3“ 10MP lens series!
Kowa is introducing a new line up of 2/3" Megapixel lenses especially designed for 10MP sensors. The complete range contains 7 different models with focal length starting at 5mm up to 50mm.
The advanced optical design of the new 10MP lens series is supported by incorporating aspherical lens elements and the usage of special XD glass (eXtra low Dispersion). All lenses are made of at least 7 up to 9 lens elements in order to achieve the exceptional requirements on resolution and contrast.
