This 8mm M7 Low Distortion miniature lens is a compact fixed focal lens designed for embedded cameras and space-constrained imaging systems requiring a balanced field of view and reliable 2MP image capture. With a 1/2.7″ image format, F2.8 fixed aperture, and M7 × 0.35 mount, it provides a practical optical solution for compact industrial and machine vision modules.
The 8mm focal length provides a moderately focused viewing range for compact camera assemblies. Engineers can use the Focal Length Calculator to evaluate focal length, sensor format, working distance, and required field of view when designing a new imaging system.
This 8mm M7 fixed focal lens is designed for compact camera systems that need a moderate field of view while maintaining a small mechanical footprint. Its 50° diagonal FOV provides more scene coverage than longer miniature focal lengths while remaining more focused than ultra-wide optical designs.
The lens is particularly suitable for embedded industrial monitoring and compact inspection modules where the camera must observe a defined working area without requiring the extremely broad coverage of a wide-angle or fisheye lens. The M7 × 0.35 mounting interface allows the lens to be incorporated into camera housings where conventional C-Mount or CS-Mount optics are too large.
With a 0.3m minimum object distance, the lens can be positioned relatively close to the target. This makes it useful for compact equipment inspection, internal machine monitoring, component observation, and other applications where the camera has limited installation space.
The 6.9mm B.F.L. and 15.5mm T.T.L. also provide useful mechanical information when designing a custom camera housing. Engineers can account for the optical back focal position when integrating the lens with a sensor board or compact imaging module.
For additional information on optical parameters and lens selection, engineers can refer to the Optical Design section of the TOWIN Knowledge Center.

Designed for compact machine vision, embedded industrial cameras, equipment monitoring, and miniature robotic imaging modules.
Q: What is the focal length of this M7 miniature lens?
A: This lens has a fixed 8mm focal length, providing a 50° diagonal, 42° horizontal, and 24° vertical field of view on a 1/2.7″ image format.
Q: What sensor size is this M7 lens designed for?
A: The lens is designed for a 1/2.7″ image format and supports 2MP resolution.
Q: Is this an M7 fixed focal lens?
A: Yes. The lens uses a fixed 8mm focal length and does not provide variable focal length or optical zoom.
Q: Is this lens classified as a low distortion lens?
A: No. The specified distortion is below -7.9%, which represents a relatively significant negative distortion level. Therefore, it should not be positioned as a low distortion lens.
Q: Is this lens a wide angle lens?
A: No. Its 50° diagonal FOV provides moderate scene coverage but is not positioned as a dedicated wide angle lens within TOWIN’s current product classification.
Q: What is the minimum object distance of this lens?
A: The specified M.O.D. is 0.3m, allowing the lens to be used for relatively close-range imaging.
Q: What are the B.F.L. and T.T.L. specifications?
A: The back focal length is 6.9mm and the total track length is 15.5mm. These dimensions are important when designing the mechanical structure of a compact camera module.
Q: Can this M7 lens be used for machine vision applications?
A: Yes. Its compact M7 mounting interface, 2MP resolution, fixed 8mm focal length, and 0.3m minimum object distance make it suitable for compact machine vision and embedded industrial imaging systems.
