Low Distortion Lens – M603214005828

M603214005828 is 3.2mm Ultra-low-distortion lens, F2.8 aperture M6X0.35 mount wide-angle lens, 1/4″ High-resolution 5-Megapixel CCTV lens.

3.2mm 5MP M6 Low Distortion Wide Angle Miniature Lens

This 3.2mm M6 lens is a compact 5MP low distortion wide angle lens designed for 1/4″ imaging systems. It provides a 70° diagonal, 58.5° horizontal, and 45.5° vertical field of view while maintaining less than 1% distortion. With a fixed F2.8 aperture, 0.1m M.O.D., 1.32mm B.F.L., and compact M6X0.35 mount, it is well suited to space-constrained industrial and machine vision systems requiring controlled image geometry.

M6 Low Distortion Lens Core Product Highlights

• <1% distortion supports applications requiring controlled image geometry and reduced optical deformation.
• 5MP resolution provides detailed imaging for compatible 1/4″ camera sensors.
• 70° diagonal FOV offers useful wide-area coverage without the extreme distortion of fisheye designs.
• M6X0.35 miniature mount supports integration into highly space-constrained camera assemblies.
• 0.1m M.O.D. enables close-range imaging in compact inspection systems.
• C.R.A. <25° provides an important optical parameter for sensor and lens matching.

Applications & Compatible Devices

Core Application Scenes

This lens is positioned differently from ultra-wide M12 optics. Its 70° diagonal FOV and <1% distortion provide a balanced combination of scene coverage and image geometry, making it better suited to applications where the captured image needs to remain relatively natural and dimensionally stable.

Typical application scenarios include:

• Compact machine vision inspection
• Close-range industrial inspection
• Small-part inspection systems
• Embedded machine vision cameras
• Robotic vision modules
• Compact measurement and detection equipment
• Electronic and component inspection
• Space-constrained industrial imaging devices

Designed for compact low-distortion machine vision applications where controlled optical geometry, 5MP resolution, and a miniature M6 mounting interface are important.

For more miniature mounting options, TOWIN’s M8/M7/M6/M5/M3.5 Small Mount Lens category provides additional compact lens configurations.

Compatible Devices

The lens is specified for a 1/4″ image format with 5MP resolution, making it suitable for compact camera modules using compatible sensors.

Potential device configurations include:

• 1/4″ 5MP industrial cameras
• Compact machine vision cameras
• Embedded inspection modules
• Robotic vision cameras
• Small-format inspection devices
• Miniature optical imaging modules

The C.R.A. <25° specification should also be considered when matching the lens to the selected image sensor. Sensor size, pixel architecture, lens position, and optical performance should be evaluated together during system development.

TOWIN’s Sensor Guide provides additional information for sensor and lens compatibility.

Low-Distortion Optical Performance

One of the main advantages of this lens is its <1% distortion specification. Compared with highly distorted fisheye or ultra-wide designs, this provides a more controlled image geometry while still maintaining a useful 70° diagonal field of view.

This makes the lens a stronger candidate for applications where image deformation needs to be limited, such as inspection, positioning, detection, and certain measurement-oriented vision systems.

However, optical distortion is only one factor affecting final measurement accuracy. Working distance, camera calibration, sensor characteristics, mechanical alignment, and image-processing algorithms should also be considered.

For a deeper explanation of lens distortion, see TOWIN’s Distortion Guide.

Field of View and Working Distance

The lens provides:

• 70° diagonal FOV
• 58.5° horizontal FOV
• 45.5° vertical FOV

With a 0.1m M.O.D., the lens can be used for relatively close-range imaging while maintaining controlled optical distortion.

The 3.2mm focal length provides a practical balance between coverage and image geometry for compact 1/4″ imaging systems. Engineers can use the FOV Calculator to estimate the relationship between sensor size, focal length, working distance, and field of view during lens selection.

Compact M6 Optical Integration

The M6X0.35 mount makes this lens particularly suitable for applications where a conventional M12 or larger mounting interface may occupy too much mechanical space.

Its 1.32mm B.F.L. and 0.1m M.O.D. provide important mechanical and optical references when designing a compact camera enclosure or embedded vision module.

The fixed iris and fixed focal configuration also provide a straightforward optical architecture for applications with a predefined imaging distance and lighting environment.

Why Choose This 3.2mm M6 Low Distortion Lens?

This lens combines 5MP resolution, <1% distortion, 70° diagonal FOV, M6X0.35 mounting, and 0.1m M.O.D. in a compact optical configuration.

It is particularly suitable when a system requires more controlled image geometry than a fisheye or extreme wide-angle lens can provide, while still needing a relatively broad viewing angle and very small mechanical footprint.

For engineers comparing focal length, sensor size, FOV, and working distance, TOWIN’s Lens Selection Guide can help identify the appropriate optical configuration.
