Inexpensive 5-50 MP Lens

Jul 07, 2014I've seen a number of people use the Fujinon YV10x5HR4A-2, generally available for $100 USD or less.
Is that expensive or inexpensive for you?
Probably the most inexpensive option is to contact a Chinese lens provider, like Evetar, and buy directly. Obviously, quality is a concern there.

Jul 07, 2014I would like to know if anyone has had luck obtaining Evetar lenses in the U.S. They are the OEM for a number of Arecont's lenses and we like Arecont's MPL33-12 for general use. Our cost on the Areconts is ~$120 each.
The Arecont MPL33-12 translates to Evetar's M125VM3312IRR7 lens but when I contacted Evetar after seeing them at ISC West, they responded with "in order to do our best support for you for our initial business, our quotation for quantity≤ 50pcs would be: $34.8/ea FOB XiamenChina, T/T before shipment".
The price is right but we are not set up to import products directly from China.

Jul 07, 2014I've come to prefer the Tamron M13VG850 8-50mm to the Fujinon lens. It seeems a little bit easier to focus.

Jul 07, 2014Thanks,
Is there a known good lens at ~50USD, can be M12?
BTW, what is the definition of MP lens? in our case the pixel size is close to 4um.

Jul 07, 2014You have an M12 5-50mm varifocal lenses? I don't know if anyone makes such a lens.
'MP' lenses are not well defined and tend to be marketing claims of manufacturers.
