Wide Angle Lens – CCL13029MPF

Customizable Wide Angle Lens Options High-resolution 4 Megapixel CCTV lens with IR cut, 1/3″ format, 141° diagonal FOV, F2.4 aperture, M8X0.5 mount.

2.9mm M8 Miniature Wide Angle Lens

This 2.9mm M8 miniature wide angle lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require broad scene coverage, 4 Megapixel resolution and a small mechanical footprint. With a 141° diagonal FOV, 110° horizontal FOV and 69° vertical FOV on a 1/3″ sensor, the lens provides wide-area imaging while maintaining distortion below 15%.

Its M8×0.5 mount, fixed F2.4 aperture, manual focus and 0.2m minimum object distance make it suitable for embedded cameras, compact machine vision devices, robotics and space-constrained monitoring systems. For applications requiring compact optics with a controlled wide-angle view, it can complement TOWIN’s broader range of M8/M7/M6/M5/M3.5 Small Mount Lenses.

Product Core Highlights

• 141° Ultra-Wide Coverage – 2.9mm focal length provides 141° diagonal and 110° horizontal FOV for broad scene capture.
• 4MP Imaging Performance – Supports 4 Megapixel imaging for compact vision and monitoring cameras requiring more image detail.
• Compact M8 Mount – The M8×0.5 interface is well suited to miniature cameras and space-constrained embedded optical systems.
• Controlled Wide-Angle Distortion – Distortion below 15% provides a more manageable image geometry than highly distorted fisheye designs.
• Close-Range Imaging – A 0.2m MOD supports nearby objects and compact scenes where short working distances are required.

Wide Angle Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This M8 wide angle lens is designed for systems where camera size, field coverage and optical resolution must be balanced within a limited installation space. Its 141° diagonal FOV allows one compact camera to capture a broad area without requiring an excessively large optical assembly.

Designed for compact embedded vision applications, the lens can be integrated into small inspection cameras, robotic vision modules and intelligent monitoring devices where a miniature M8 interface is preferred.

For industrial imaging systems that require wider coverage, users can also explore TOWIN’s dedicated Machine Vision Solutions to match lens specifications with camera and application requirements.

Compatible Devices

Compact Machine Vision Cameras
The 4MP resolution and 110° horizontal FOV make the lens suitable for compact cameras used to monitor relatively large areas from short distances.

Robotics Vision Modules
The wide viewing angle helps robotic platforms capture surrounding objects and environmental information while keeping the optical module compact.

Embedded Smart Cameras
The M8×0.5 mount and small-form-factor design are suitable for embedded cameras installed in devices where available mounting space is limited.

Compact Security and Monitoring Cameras
The broad FOV can reduce blind spots in indoor monitoring and localized observation systems.

Interactive and Intelligent Devices
The 0.2m MOD supports close-range imaging for equipment that needs to observe objects positioned near the camera.

For projects that require a different mounting interface or optical configuration, TOWIN also provides a wider selection of M12 Lenses and other compact optical solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What sensor size is compatible with this 2.9mm M8 lens?
A: This lens is designed for 1/3″ image sensors and provides a 141° diagonal, 110° horizontal and 69° vertical field of view on the specified format.

Q: Is this lens suitable for machine vision applications?
A: Yes. Its 4MP resolution, wide FOV and compact M8 mount make it suitable for selected compact machine vision systems, especially applications requiring broad scene coverage.

Q: Is the 2.9mm M8 lens a fisheye lens?
A: Its 141° diagonal FOV gives it an ultra-wide viewing characteristic. It can be considered for fisheye-style wide-area imaging, although its distortion is more controlled than many extreme fisheye designs.

Q: What is the distortion of this lens?
A: The specified distortion is below 15%, providing more controlled image geometry than many highly distorted ultra-wide lenses.

Q: Can this lens focus on objects at close distances?
A: Yes. The minimum object distance is 0.2m, making it suitable for close-range imaging and compact devices that need to observe nearby objects.

Q: What does the IR cut element do?
A: The IR cut element helps block unwanted infrared wavelengths from reaching the image sensor, supporting more consistent visible-light color reproduction. It should not be confused with an IR-corrected optical design.

Q: Can TOWIN customize this type of miniature lens?
A: TOWIN can evaluate customized optical requirements such as focal length, FOV, sensor format, mount and mechanical dimensions for OEM and ODM projects. For a project-specific requirement, contact the TOWIN optical engineering team.
