3.4mm M12 Low Distortion Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 3.4mm M12 low distortion lens is designed for compact vision systems where engineers need to combine a relatively large sensor format with broad scene coverage. Its support for both 1/1.8″ and 1/2.3″ sensors provides greater flexibility when designing or upgrading embedded camera modules.

When paired with a 1/1.8″ sensor, the lens provides a 112° diagonal FOV, 95° horizontal FOV, and 80° vertical FOV. This configuration is suitable for applications that need to capture a large surrounding area from a relatively short installation distance while still controlling geometric distortion.

The 0.1m M.O.D. makes the lens particularly useful for close-range industrial imaging. A camera equipped with this lens can observe a relatively large work area without requiring a long stand-off distance, which can be valuable when cameras are installed inside compact machinery, robotic equipment, inspection stations, or embedded devices.

For machine vision and robotics vision, the <1% TV distortion specification provides a useful balance between wide-angle coverage and image geometry. Unlike an extreme fisheye lens, this design is intended to provide broad coverage without introducing strong barrel distortion, making it more practical for computer vision tasks involving object localization, scene understanding, and image analysis.

The absence of an IRCF should also be considered during system design. Where infrared filtering is required, the camera assembly can be configured separately according to the imaging system’s spectral requirements.

Designed for large-sensor compact vision, close-range machine vision, robotics perception, and low-distortion wide-area imaging applications.

When choosing between 1/1.8″ and 1/2.3″ sensors, the Sensor Guide can help evaluate sensor format and image-circle requirements. For general lens matching, see the Lens Selection Guide.

Because low distortion is one of the key characteristics of this lens, the Distortion Guide provides additional information for engineers evaluating wide-angle optical performance.

For applications where working distance and scene coverage need to be calculated before selecting a lens, the FOV Calculator can help estimate the required optical configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this 3.4mm M12 lens?
A: This fixed‑focal, wide‑angle, low‑distortion M12 lens targets compact high‑resolution imaging systems, supporting up to 8MP resolution for 1/1.8″ and 1/2.3″ sensors.

Q: What is the field of view with a 1/1.8″ sensor?
A: With a 1/1.8″ sensor, the lens provides a 112° diagonal FOV, 95° horizontal FOV, and 80° vertical FOV.

Q: What is the field of view with a 1/2.3″ sensor?
A: With a 1/2.3″ sensor, the lens provides a 99° diagonal FOV, 85° horizontal FOV, and 69° vertical FOV.

Q: Is this 112° M12 lens a fisheye lens?
A: No. Although the lens provides a 112° diagonal FOV with a 1/1.8″ sensor, its TV distortion is below 1%. It is therefore classified as a low distortion wide angle lens rather than a fisheye lens.

Q: What is the advantage of supporting both 1/1.8″ and 1/2.3″ sensors?
A: Dual‑sensor‑format support offers greater flexibility for camera designers. This 3.4 mm optical platform fits multiple camera architectures; actual FOV varies with sensor format.

Q: What is the minimum object distance of this lens?
A: The M.O.D. is 0.1m, or 100mm. This enables close-range imaging while maintaining a wide field of view.

Q: Does this lens include an infrared cut filter?
A: No. The supplied specification states that the lens is without IRCF. If infrared filtering is required, the optical system should be configured with a suitable IR-cut component according to the camera design.

Q: Can this lens be used for machine vision applications?
A: Yes. With 8MP performance, wide FOV, <1% distortion, compact M12 mount and 0.1 m M.O.D., it suits machine‑vision and embedded inspection applications. Confirm compatibility against sensor size, working distance, FOV and inspection requirements.
