Abstract

Manufacturing optical devices (e.g., for cameras) includes providing and allocating mount elements to lens modules wherein the mount elements are to be arranged within the optical devices to define a fixed separation distance between the lens modules and the image sensor plane. The mount elements have variable mount FFL sections by means of which the geometrical distance between the lens module and the image sensor plane is adjusted for each lens module, individually or in groups dependent on the optical properties of the lens modules, to compensate the variation of the lens module values among the lens modules, so that the focal planes of the lens modules falls into the image sensor plane.
