I didn't have good luck with the included lens for web camming. It's a zoom lens with focus and aperture, which is silly for most video conferencing.

Alternative C- and CS-mount lenses are easy to buy https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Aperture-Compatible-Mirrorless... and will focus near your face and have plenty of light. People will say your background blur is amazing.

Will that lens connect directly to a c-mount frame? You don’t need an adapter that will reduce the field of view so your face fills the entire thing?
