Low Distortion Lens – CCL13080MPR2

CCL13080MPR2 is Low distortion 1/3″ 3MP fixed – aperture M12 lens with 45° diagonal FOV, F2.0 aperture, and 6G construction for security surveillance.

8mm M12 Low Distortion Lens

This 8mm M12 low distortion lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require controlled geometric distortion, stable image quality, and a relatively narrow field of view. Supporting 1/3″ sensors and up to 3MP resolution, it delivers a 45° diagonal FOV with less than 6% distortion, making it suitable for embedded vision, compact inspection, security monitoring, and other applications where image geometry needs to remain well controlled.

With an M12x0.5 mount, fixed F2.0 aperture, and 6G optical construction, this lens provides a compact and practical optical solution for small camera modules and space-constrained imaging equipment. Explore TOWIN’s M12 Lens range for additional focal length and optical configurations.

M12 Low Distortion Lens Core Highlights

• Controlled Optical Distortion: Less than 6% distortion helps reduce geometric deformation and supports applications requiring more accurate image representation.
• 8mm Fixed Focal Length: The 8mm focal length provides a moderate 45° diagonal FOV, offering more concentrated scene coverage than short-focal-length wide-angle M12 lenses.
• 3MP Resolution Support: Designed for compact cameras using 1/3″ sensors and applications requiring practical image detail.
• Compact M12x0.5 Interface: The M12 mount simplifies integration into small camera modules, embedded vision devices, and space-constrained equipment.
• 6G Optical Construction: The 6-element optical configuration supports a balanced compact design for embedded imaging applications.

M12 Low Distortion Lens Applications

Compact Machine Vision Inspection

The 8mm focal length provides a more concentrated field of view than short wide-angle M12 lenses, making it useful for compact inspection systems where the camera is positioned at a defined working distance from the target.

The less-than-6% distortion specification can help maintain more consistent object geometry across the image, which is beneficial for visual inspection tasks where excessive image deformation could affect image interpretation.

For broader industrial imaging requirements, this lens can be integrated into selected Machine Vision solutions.

Embedded Vision Systems

The combination of an M12x0.5 mount, 1/3″ sensor compatibility, and compact optical construction makes this lens suitable for embedded cameras where available installation space is limited.

Typical applications include smart devices, compact inspection modules, industrial monitoring equipment, and integrated vision systems requiring a fixed focal length.

Compact Security Monitoring

With a 36° horizontal FOV and 27° vertical FOV on a 1/3″ sensor, the lens provides a more focused viewing area than wide-angle M12 models. This makes it suitable for monitoring specific zones, entrances, equipment areas, or indoor scenes rather than requiring maximum scene coverage.

For security applications requiring specialized optical configurations, TOWIN also provides Smart Security solutions.

Measurement-Oriented Imaging

The controlled distortion performance makes this lens a useful option for applications where maintaining relatively accurate object geometry is important. It can be considered for visual measurement, positioning, alignment, and inspection tasks where a highly wide-angle perspective is unnecessary.

When selecting a lens for measurement applications, sensor size, working distance, object size, and required image coverage should be evaluated together.

Designed for Compact Low-Distortion Vision Applications

Designed for compact low-distortion vision applications, this 8mm M12 lens is a practical choice when a system needs a moderate field of view while keeping optical distortion below 6%.

Compatible Devices

• Compact machine vision cameras
• Embedded vision camera modules
• Industrial inspection cameras
• Compact security cameras
• Smart monitoring devices
• Visual measurement systems
• Robotic vision modules
• Equipment monitoring cameras
• Small-format inspection equipment
• M12 camera modules using 1/3″ sensors

Sensor & Field-of-View Matching

This lens is designed for a 1/3″ image format and provides:

• 45° diagonal FOV
• 36° horizontal FOV
• 27° vertical FOV

The 8mm focal length is appropriate when the application requires a relatively concentrated viewing area rather than the broad coverage provided by 2.5mm–4mm M12 lenses.

For applications where field of view needs to be calculated according to sensor dimensions and working distance, use TOWIN’s FOV Calculator. You can also review the Sensor Guide before selecting the camera sensor.

Why Choose an 8mm M12 Low Distortion Lens?

An 8mm M12 lens can be a better choice than a shorter focal length when the camera needs to focus on a defined area instead of capturing an extremely wide scene.

This model is particularly suitable when the project requires:

• 1/3″ sensor compatibility
• 3MP imaging
• 45° diagonal field of view
• Less than 6% distortion
• Fixed 8mm focal length
• F2.0 aperture
• Compact M12x0.5 mounting
• A controlled viewing area for inspection or monitoring

For applications requiring even lower distortion or different sensor coverage, compare this model with TOWIN’s Low Distortion Lens range.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: Yes. With specified distortion below 6%, this model can be positioned as a compact low distortion M12 lens for applications where controlled image geometry is important.

Q: What sensor size does this lens support?
A: The lens is designed for 1/3″ image sensors and provides its specified field of view with this image format.

Q: Is this 8mm lens suitable for machine vision?
A: Yes. It can be used in compact machine vision and inspection systems where a moderate field of view and controlled distortion are required, particularly when an M12 interface is preferred.

Q: What mount does this lens use?
A: It uses an M12x0.5 mount, which is commonly used for compact camera modules and embedded imaging systems.

Q: Is the aperture adjustable?
A: No. This model uses a fixed F2.0 aperture, providing a consistent optical configuration without requiring an adjustable iris mechanism.
