What type of lens is the IR and RGB Camera

[Oluwasijibomi_O_]

Hi,

I am working on project wherein I would like to take macroshots of an object.  I have determined the focal length that I need and I have found out that the focal length of the Realsense camera is not long enough so I want to add a lens to the Realsense in order to increase the focal length of my system to match my desired focal length. The problem however is that I don't know if the realsense camera lens is a converging or diverging lens. Do anyone know by any chance know what type of lens the IR and RGB camera has? This may be a simple question but I'm not quite experienced with cameras. 

Thanks in advance

First, you can't easily change the lenses of the camera since it uses fixed lenses. You may be able to do it, but it is not meant to be done.

Second, the camera is calibrated with the stock lens. This means that if you change it, it will stop generating depth correctly. You would have to calibrate the camera manually (which is not a trivial task), and obtain generate depth from that.

Third, I don't think the SDK exposes the ability to use your own IR images to calculate depth, so you would even have to do this by hand... which may even be patented by Intel.

So, in short, it is really hard to do what you want. If you still want to go that route, you might as well design your own camera, as you will need to do almost the same work, but will have the benefit of designing it exactly to your needs.
