Phase One Industrial Introduces Three High Performance Lenses Share This on LinkedIn   Tweet This   Forward This

28 May 2019

Phase One Industrial has expanded its RS and RSM lens offering with three new high performance lenses for high-altitude aerial photography and long-range aerial and ground inspection applications.

The 300mm AF, 180mm and 150mm MK II lenses are matched to Phase One Industrial's iXM-RS and iXM aerial camera series, taking advantage of the cameras' ultra-high resolution backside-illuminated CMOS sensors to maintain a smaller ground sample distance while flying at higher altitudes.

New Lenses. 300mm, 180mm and 150mm.

THREE LENSES

The three new lenses include:

  • Phase One RSM 300mmAF. With the longest focal length in the line-up, this lens offers a 5cm GSD from 13,000 ft. It fits both iXM and iXM-RS camera models and is ideal for both high-altitude 2D and 3D mapping and long-range ground inspection, the company said. The motorized lens offers a focus range of 10m to infinity within which a predefined distance can be set remotely. A self-locking mechanism is built in to secure the focus position against vibrations.
  • Rodenstock RS 180mm. Specified by Phase One and built by Rodenstock Photo Optics in Germany, this lens reaches a 5cm GSD from 8,000 ft. when used with the iXM-RS150F camera. The lens supports the camera's ultra-high resolution BSI sensor for greater image quality and is integrated with a Phase One RS reliance shutter for speed and reliability. The RS 180mm enhances high-altitude aerial 2D and 3D mapping and improves efficiency in oblique configurations.
  • Phase One RS 150mm MK II. A 5cm GSD from 6,500 ft. can be achieved with this optic. It complements the iXM-RS150F camera's ultra-high 150-Mp resolution BSI CMOS sensor for acquiring quality images for high-altitude aerial 2D and 3D mapping.

PRICE, AVAILABILITY

Phase One said the RS 150mm MK II is available now while the RSM 300mm AF and RS 180mm lenses, which can be pre-ordered now, will ship in September. For pricing, please contact the company directly.

Phase One Industrial Introduces Three High Performance Lenses for High-Altitude Aerial Photography and Long-Range Aerial and Ground Inspection

The new 300mm AF, 180mm and 150mm MK II lenses are designed to enhance the versatility and performance of Phase One Industrial's iXM-RS and iXM 150-megapixel to 50-Mp resolution camera series

COPENHAGEN -- Phase One Industrial today expanded its RS and RSM lens offering with three new high performance lenses for high-altitude aerial photography and long-range aerial and ground inspection applications. The 300mm AF, 180mm and 150mm MK II lenses are designed to enhance the performance and flexibility of Phase One Industrial's iXM-RS and iXM aerial camera series. Each offers precision imagery, taking advantage of the cameras' ultra-high resolution backside-illuminated CMOS sensors, to maintain a smaller ground sample distance while flying at higher altitudes.

Phase One RSM 300mmAF

With the longest focal length in the line-up, this lens offers a 5cm GSD from 13,000 ft. It fits both iXM and iXM-RS camera models and produces superb image quality by enhancing the cameras' ultra-high resolution BSI CMOS sensors (3.76 microns pixels). The lens is ideal for both high-altitude 2D and 3D mapping and long-range ground inspection. The motorized lens offers a focus range of 10m to infinity within which a predefined distance can be set remotely. A self-locking mechanism is built in to secure the focus position against vibrations.

  • 5cm GSD from 13,000 ft.
  • 10m to infinity focusing range
  • f8 to f32 aperture range
  • 1/2000 second exposure time
  • RS Shutter reliability to 500,000 actuations

Rodenstock RS 180mm

Specified by Phase One and built by Rodenstock Photo Optics, Germany, this lens reaches a 5cm GSD from 8,000 ft. when used with the iXM-RS150F camera. The lens supports the camera's ultra-high resolution BSI sensor for greater image quality and is integrated with a Phase One RS reliance shutter for speed and reliability. The RS 180mm enhances high-altitude aerial 2D and 3D mapping and improves efficiency in oblique configurations.

  • 5cm GSD from 8,000 ft.
  • f6.3 to f22 aperture range
  • 1/2000 second exposure time
  • RS Shutter reliability to 500,000 actuations

Phase One RS 150mm MK II

A 5cm GSD from 6,500 ft. is achievable with the RS 150mm MK II lens. It complements the iXM-RS150F camera's ultra-high 150-Mp resolution BSI CMOS sensor for acquiring quality images for high-altitude aerial 2D and 3D mapping.

  • 5cm GSD from 6,500 ft.
  • f5.6 to f22 aperture range
  • 1/2500 second exposure time
  • RS Shutter reliability to 500,000 actuations

Every Phase One Industrial lens is rigidly built for robustness against vibrations and shocks to meet RTCA DO160-GB standards and is individually tested for performance and high-modulation across the whole image area.

Pricing and Availability

The Phase One RS 150mm MK II is available to order from May. The RSM 300mm AF and RS 180mm lenses are available for pre-ordering and will begin shipping in September.
