Adjustable wide angle lens (for Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera)

Control every aspect of your Raspberry Pi-based photography with manually adjustable aperture, zoom and focal length (2.8mm-12mm).

We've tested a fair few CS lenses with the High Quality camera and we liked the range of this one - the nice wide field of view means that it would make a good security camera or wide area web cam, but it's also capable of getting up close and personal. You could take advantage of the adjustable focal length and aperture to create interesting artistic effects like lens flare and bokeh.

This lens is CS mount so you don't need to use the adaptor that comes with the High Quality Camera, it just screws straight on.

Please note Raspberry Pis and High Quality Cameras are both sold separately (check out the extras tab!)

Works really well. Have to say that I might get some 1mm as the 0.5mm is quite thin for my needs (mainly wiring between a uC PCB and I2C devices with single core wire). I guess the 0.5mm would be more appropriate for soldering surface mount items.

This solder is good if your joint location is not a large copper plane, in that case make sure to heat the surface adequately before applying the solder and you'll be fine.

I tried the 0.5mm but prefer this 1mm. What I do need is a new iron more suitable for lead free solder.... Another good product from Pimoroni.

Takes a bit of getting used to if you're used to lead solder. Dispatched in good time and worked well to solder a GPIO header on to a Raspberry Pi Zero.

I hope other people will become aware of fair supply chains that can be developed within the ICT and electronics industries. Use of this product will be a small step towards a fairer supply chain.
