1. An adjustable lens holder apparatus comprising:
- a printed circuit board;
an image sensor provided on the printed circuit board;
a plurality of lenses;
a spacer for allowing a predetermined space between the lenses;
a stopper;
a lens holder for housing an assembly of the lenses, the spacer, and said stopper between said plurality of lenses and said image sensor,wherein said stopper is formed with a stopper side tooth around an outer periphery of the stopper such that the stopper side tooth can be detachably engaged with a holder side tooth formed on said lens holder; and
wherein said stopper and said lens holder are configured for relative translation, between said stopper and said holder, to selectively adjust a focal length between the image sensor and respective lenses.
