There is a new(ish) high quality Pi camera with adjustable focus.
Yeah, I knew about that. It's got no focus at all, just being a sensor board and a lens mount. The best that folks are getting out of it right now is manual focus. There's no autofocus/diaphragm motor header on the board, either, so all the nice things like selective zoom/pan to speaker and 3d image reconstruction that you'd get out of a 5+ year old cell phone won't work with it. And still no microphone. It apparently makes an amazing microscope camera and a mostly-adequate skyview camera, though. There are some quite high quality lenses available at (fairly) low cost in that format. They've also sorted out raw imagery so you can get the raw Bayer data out in an interchangeable format now, too. cheers, Stewart
