Low Distortion Lens – CCL125080MPF

CCL125080MPF-8mm 1/2.5″ Low distortion CCTV lens, F2.0 Low F-number M12/S-mounted 5 Megapixel Wide-Angle HD Lens, Security Surveillance lens.

8mm 5MP M12 Low Distortion Lens

This 8mm 5MP M12 low distortion lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require a narrower, controlled field of view and consistent image geometry. With a 1/2.5″ image format, distortion below -7.6%, F2.0 fixed aperture, and M12×0.5 mount, it provides a practical optical solution for industrial imaging, machine vision, equipment monitoring, and fixed-view camera applications.

M12 Low Distortion Lens Core Highlights

• 5MP High-Resolution Imaging: Provides detailed image capture for compact industrial and embedded vision systems.
• Low Distortion Performance: Less than -7.6% distortion helps maintain more consistent image geometry.
• 8mm Fixed Focal Length: Provides a narrower viewing angle for focused imaging of defined areas and targets.
• F2.0 Fixed Aperture: Provides a practical balance between light transmission and optical stability.
• M12×0.5 Mount: Supports compact camera designs where space and mechanical integration are important.

The relatively narrow FOV of this 8mm lens makes it useful when a system needs more focused coverage than a short-focal-length wide-angle M12 lens. Engineers can use the Lens Selection Guide to compare focal length, sensor size, working distance, and field of view during optical selection.

M12 Low Distortion Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 8mm M12 low distortion lens is optimized for fixed-view imaging where the camera needs to concentrate on a defined inspection or monitoring area rather than capture an extremely wide scene. Its 40° horizontal FOV and distortion below -7.6% provide a useful combination for applications where image geometry and target positioning are important.

The lens is particularly suitable for compact industrial cameras used to observe production equipment, workstations, components, labels, instruments, and controlled inspection areas. Compared with shorter focal length M12 lenses, the 8mm focal length provides a more focused perspective, making it easier to isolate a specific region when the camera is installed at a moderate working distance.

The 0.3m minimum object distance further supports applications where the lens is positioned away from the target rather than directly against a close-range object. For systems requiring field coverage calculations, the FOV Calculator can help engineers estimate the expected image area.

Compatible Device List

• Compact Industrial Cameras: Suitable for fixed-view industrial imaging modules requiring 5MP resolution and controlled distortion.
• Machine Vision Camera Modules: Can be integrated into compact vision systems for component observation, inspection, and process monitoring.
• Production Equipment Cameras: Suitable for monitoring defined areas of machinery, instruments, assembly equipment, and production stations.
• Smart Factory Vision Devices: Useful for embedded cameras that need a focused field of view rather than broad-area surveillance.
• Fixed-View Monitoring Cameras: The 8mm focal length can help concentrate imaging on a specific monitoring zone.
• Embedded Camera Modules: The M12×0.5 interface supports compact camera assemblies where optical space is limited.
• OEM Camera Designs: Suitable for customized camera products requiring a fixed 8mm optical configuration and 1/2.5″ image format.

Designed for focused industrial inspection, equipment monitoring, and compact machine vision applications.

For optical systems requiring a specific working distance and target coverage, the Focal Length Calculator can help determine whether an 8mm focal length is appropriate for the required imaging geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this 8mm lens?
A: It is an 8mm fixed focal length M12 lens designed for 1/2.5″ sensors, with 5MP resolution and distortion below -7.6%.

Q: What is the field of view of this 8mm M12 lens?
A: The lens provides a 50° diagonal FOV, 40° horizontal FOV, and 30° vertical FOV on the specified 1/2.5″ image format.

Q: Is this considered a low distortion M12 lens?
A: Yes. With distortion specified below -7.6%, this lens delivers more controlled image geometry than most conventional wide-angle alternatives, ideal for applications requiring limited distortion.

Q: What applications are suitable for this 8mm lens?
A: It is suitable for compact industrial imaging, machine vision, equipment monitoring, fixed-view cameras, smart factory vision devices, and other applications requiring focused coverage.

Q: What sensor size is compatible with this lens?
A: The specified image format is 1/2.5″. The camera sensor should be matched with the lens image format to achieve the intended field of view and imaging performance.

Q: What does the IRCF structure mean?
A: IRCF indicates an IR cut filter configuration. It should not be interpreted as proof of IR-corrected optical performance unless additional IR correction test data is available.

Q: What is the minimum object distance of this lens?
A: The specified minimum object distance is 0.3m, making it more suitable for targets positioned at or beyond this approximate working distance.

Q: How do I determine whether 8mm is the correct focal length for my camera?
A: Focal length should be selected according to sensor dimensions, camera-to-target distance, and required field of view. The Lens Selection Guide and FOV Calculator can assist with the selection process.

Optical Selection & Related Resources

When selecting a 5MP M12 lens, focal length and distortion should be evaluated together with sensor format and working distance. The 8mm focal length provides a more focused field of view than shorter M12 lenses, while the specified distortion below -7.6% helps control geometric deformation in the captured image.

For additional information about sensor compatibility, the Sensor Guide explains how image sensor size affects lens selection and field coverage. Engineers can also explore the complete M12 Lenses range when comparing different focal lengths and optical configurations.
