Wide-Angle Varifocal Lens for CS-Mount Cameras
The Computar Ganz TG2Z1816FCS is a CS-mount varifocal lens built for 1/3" format sensors in analog CCTV installations. It provides a 1.8-3.6mm focal range with 2x zoom, letting installers adjust the field of view on site without swapping fixed lenses. Manual zoom and focus rings with locking setscrews secure the chosen setting. The DC auto iris interface allows the camera to control aperture automatically.
Consistent Aperture Control Across Lighting
The lens maintains an aperture range of f/1.6 to 360C, enabling the camera's auto iris to regulate exposure from low-light scenes to bright daylight. Because the iris is driven by the camera's DC signal, response stays consistent during sustained operation rather than only during brief transitions. All-glass optics and a metal barrel resist thermal drift that could shift focus over long recording periods. Locking screws prevent vibration from altering the focal setting once calibrated.
CS-Mount Interface and 1/3" Sensor Coverage Limits
The CS-mount flange distance restricts use to cameras designed for that standard; it will not reach focus on C-mount bodies without an adapter. The 1/3" image circle covers diagonal angles from 99° to 173.8°, horizontal from 79.4° to 144.2°, and vertical from 59.6° to 109.4°. Sensors larger than 1/3" will vignette at the wide end, while smaller sensors crop the field of view. Minimum focus distance is .2 metres, so subjects closer than that cannot be sharpened.

Questions about this item
Does the TG2Z1816FCS lens generate extra heat or noise during continuous use?
The lens is a passive optical component with no moving motors or electronics, so it adds no measurable heat or audible noise to the camera during extended operation.
What camera mount and sensor format are required for the TG2Z1816FCS to work?
The lens requires a CS-mount camera body with a 1/3″ format sensor to achieve the specified 99 to 173.8° diagonal, 79.4 to 144.2° horizontal and 59.6 to 109.4° vertical angles.
Will the DC Auto Iris on the TG2Z1816FCS function with an older camera that only has a manual iris connector?
The DC Auto Iris needs a compatible four-pin DC iris output on the camera; a camera with only a manual iris connector cannot drive the auto iris function.
