Applications
Cosmicar television lenses were designed for use with professional CCTV and industrial video cameras using the standard C-mount. The 12.5mm focal length provides a moderate wide-to-normal angle of view on 2/3" format sensors, making it well suited for surveillance, machine vision, scientific imaging, and industrial inspection systems. Cosmicar lenses from this era — produced under the Pentax industrial brand from the 1960s through the 1980s — are known for their robust all-metal construction and optical quality, and are still used today in machine vision rigs, legacy industrial cameras, and film/video projects that call for a C-mount prime. The fast f/1.4 aperture is especially useful in low-light or controlled-lighting environments common in factory floor and lab imaging setups. C-mount is one of the longest-lived camera mount standards, and these lenses remain compatible with a wide range of modern C-mount machine vision and scientific cameras.
This Cosmicar Television Lens 12.5mm f/1.4 (No.89456) is in good used condition. The silver barrel shows light wear and a few small marks on the front section, as visible in the photos — consistent with normal handling over time. The front and rear glass elements appear clean and intact with no obvious chips or cracks visible. Focus and aperture rings turn smoothly. This is a lens only; no caps, case, or accessories are included. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
