G2 lens is the best choice for short ranges, as in an engraving machine. The G2 lens is a single lens enabling the maximum true power of the laser diode for rapid close-range burning and engraving. Advantage of G2 lens is 95% efficiency, reduces the beam aperture . Downsides Increase the beam divergence (thickness) and the beam profile.
