Wide Angle Lens – CCL14023MPF

CCL14023MPF is 2.2mm High-Precision wide-angle lens with Built-In Filter, F2.5 High NA S-Mount Lens, 1/4″ MegaPixel resolution CCTV lens.

2.2mm M12 Wide Angle Lens

This 2.2mm M12 Wide Angle Lens provides a 120° diagonal field of view with less than 16% TV distortion, offering a practical balance between wide-area coverage and controlled image geometry. With a megapixel optical configuration, F2.5 fixed aperture, and compact M12×0.5 mount, it is well suited for embedded cameras, machine vision equipment, robotics, and industrial monitoring systems.

Its 4G optical structure, 3.3mm BFL, and integrated IR cut filter provide a compact solution for camera modules that require wide-angle imaging without the extreme geometric distortion associated with fisheye optics.

M12 Wide Angle Lens Core Highlights

• 120° Wide Diagonal FOV — Provides broad scene coverage from a compact camera position.
• Less Than 16% TV Distortion — Delivers more controlled image geometry for wide-angle imaging applications.
• Megapixel Resolution — Supports detailed image capture for compact industrial and embedded camera systems.
• F2.5 Fixed Aperture — Provides a stable optical configuration for space-constrained camera designs.
• M12×0.5 Compact Mount — Simplifies integration into miniature and embedded imaging equipment.

M12 Wide Angle Lens Applications

This M12 low distortion wide angle lens is designed for camera systems that need broad scene coverage without relying on the extreme distortion of a fisheye optical design. The 120° diagonal FOV provides a wide viewing area, while the specified TV distortion of less than 16% helps maintain more controlled image geometry.

Compact Machine Vision

The lens is suitable for specialized machine vision systems where the camera must observe a relatively large area from a limited installation distance. It can be useful for inspection environments where broad scene visibility is important but extreme fisheye distortion is undesirable.

Robotics & Mobile Vision

The wide FOV allows a compact robotic camera to monitor a broad surrounding area without requiring a large optical assembly. The M12×0.5 interface is particularly convenient for embedded vision modules installed inside compact robotic equipment.

Wide Angle with Controlled Distortion

A wide field of view does not always require a fisheye lens. For applications that need broad coverage while retaining relatively controlled image geometry, a low distortion wide-angle design can be a better optical choice.

This lens combines a 120° diagonal FOV with less than 16% TV distortion, making it suitable for applications where scene coverage and image geometry need to be balanced. This can be particularly valuable in compact machine vision and embedded camera systems.

To better understand how distortion affects lens selection, refer to TOWIN’s Distortion Guide.

The appropriate lens should also be selected according to sensor format, required FOV, working distance, and mechanical constraints. TOWIN’s Lens Selection Guide and Sensor Guide provide additional guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the focal length of this M12 lens?
A: The focal length is 2.2mm, providing a wide viewing angle for compact camera systems.

Q: What is the field of view?
A: The lens provides a 120° diagonal FOV, 104° horizontal FOV, and 59° vertical FOV.

Q: What is the distortion specification?
A: The specified TV distortion is less than 16%, providing more controlled image geometry than extreme fisheye designs.

Q: Is this a fisheye lens?
A: This lens is better classified as a low distortion wide-angle lens. Its 120° diagonal FOV is broad, but the controlled distortion specification makes it more suitable for wide-angle applications where image geometry matters.

Q: What sensor format is this lens designed for?
A: The specified image format is 1/4″.

Q: What mount does the lens use?
A: It uses an M12×0.5 mount for compact embedded and industrial camera assemblies.

Q: Does the lens have an adjustable aperture?
A: No. The lens uses a fixed F2.5 aperture and fixed iris configuration.

Q: Does the lens include an IR filter?
A: Yes. The structure is specified as 4G + IRCF, indicating an integrated IR cut filter configuration. This should not be confused with an IR-corrected optical design.
