The 5.9mm 2MP M12 Low Distortion Lens is a compact fixed focal lens designed for 1/2.8″ image sensors such as the Sony IMX290. With a 56° diagonal FOV, F2.4 aperture, and TV distortion below -0.4%, it provides stable and accurate imaging for embedded cameras, compact machine vision systems, and intelligent monitoring devices.
Its 0.1m minimum object distance and 14mm total track length make this M12 lens suitable for space-constrained camera designs where consistent image quality and low geometric distortion are important.
This 5.9 mm M12 lens serves imaging systems that demand a moderate field of view while avoiding excessive geometric distortion. Its 50° horizontal FOV provides a balanced viewing range, making it suitable for capturing objects or scenes at relatively controlled working distances while maintaining stable image geometry.
A 0.1 m minimum object distance paired with the compact 14 mm TTL brings distinct benefits for small camera modules operating near the target. The F2.4 aperture also provides a practical balance between optical brightness and compact lens construction.
Systems built around the Sony IMX290 or other compatible 1/2.8″ sensors can fit this lens inside compact cameras, where solid 2‑MP image quality meets monitoring, detection, and basic vision‑task requirements.
Designed for compact embedded vision and monitoring applications where moderate FOV, low distortion, and short optical length are required.
For systems where sensor format and focal length need to be matched precisely, the Sensor Guide and Lens Selection Guide can help evaluate lens compatibility before integration.
The lens is part of TOWIN’s compact M12 Lenses range and can be considered for embedded machine vision designs where a small optical footprint is required.
Q: What sensor is this 5.9mm M12 lens designed for?
A: It is specified for a 1/2.8″ image format and is listed with the Sony IMX290 sensor. Compatibility should be confirmed with the specific camera sensor and optical configuration.
Q: What is the field of view of the 5.9mm lens?
A: The specified FOV is 56° diagonal, 50° horizontal, and 29° vertical when used with the specified IMX290 configuration.
Q: Is this a low distortion M12 lens?
A: Yes. The specified TV distortion is below -0.4%, making it suitable for applications where image geometry needs to remain relatively accurate.
Q: What is the minimum object distance?
A: The minimum object distance is 0.1m, allowing the lens to be used for relatively close-range imaging in compact camera systems.
Q: What does the F2.4 aperture provide?
A: The F2.4 aperture provides a practical amount of light for compact imaging systems while maintaining a relatively small optical design.
Q: What camera mount does this lens use?
A: It uses an M12 × 0.5 mount, a common compact interface for embedded and industrial camera modules.
Q: Is this lens IR corrected?
A: The construction is specified as 3G2P + IRCF. IRCF generally refers to an IR-cut filter; this specification alone should not be interpreted as optical IR correction.
Q: Can this lens be used for machine vision?
A: Yes. Its 2MP resolution, low distortion, fixed focal length, and compact M12 interface make it suitable for selected machine vision and embedded inspection systems.
When selecting an industrial lens, focal length, sensor format, field of view, and distortion should be evaluated together. TOWIN’s Lens Basics provides additional information about fundamental lens parameters, while the FOV Calculator can help estimate the viewing area for different camera configurations.
