This 6mm 8MP M12 low distortion wide angle lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require a broad field of view with highly controlled geometric distortion. Supporting a 2/3″ image format, 85° diagonal FOV, and TV distortion below 1%, it provides wide scene coverage while maintaining accurate image geometry.
With an M12×0.5 mount, F2.8 fixed aperture, 0.1m minimum object distance, and 7G optical construction, this lens combines high-resolution imaging with a compact mechanical interface for embedded vision, smart monitoring, robotics, and other space-constrained camera systems.
This 6mm M12 low distortion wide angle lens is designed for vision systems that need to capture a relatively large scene while keeping geometric distortion tightly controlled. Its 72° horizontal FOV provides substantial lateral coverage, while the TV distortion below 1% helps preserve the shape and position of objects across the image.
This combination makes the lens particularly suitable for compact machine vision modules, robotic perception cameras, smart inspection equipment, embedded AI cameras, and indoor monitoring systems where both wide coverage and image accuracy are important. The 6mm focal length offers a useful middle ground between very short focal-length wide-angle optics and narrower standard-view lenses.
The 2/3″ image format and 8MP resolution also make this lens suitable for camera platforms using relatively large image sensors. In robotics and automated equipment, the broad FOV can help capture work areas or operating zones with fewer blind spots, while the low-distortion design supports downstream image analysis.
For engineers evaluating sensor compatibility and field coverage, Towin’s Sensor Guide provides useful information on image formats and lens matching. The Lens Selection Guide can also help evaluate focal length, sensor size, working distance, and application requirements.
For applications requiring different focal lengths, sensor formats, or optical characteristics, Towin’s M12 Lens Solutions provide additional options for compact imaging system development. Engineers can also use the FOV Calculator to estimate scene coverage before selecting the final lens configuration.

Designed for high-resolution wide-angle embedded vision and low-distortion imaging applications.
Q: What type of lens is this 6mm M12 lens?
A: It is a fixed focal, low distortion wide-angle M12 lens designed for 2/3″ image sensors. It combines an 85° diagonal FOV with TV distortion below 1%.
Q: Is this 6mm M12 lens a fisheye lens?
A: No. Though offering an 85° diagonal FOV, its TV distortion stays below 1%. This controlled‑distortion feature aligns with low‑distortion wide‑angle lenses, not conventional fisheye lenses.
Q: What sensor size does this lens support?
A: The specified image format is 2/3″. The lens is rated for 8MP imaging according to the supplied specifications.
Q: What is the field of view of this 6mm lens?
A: The lens provides an 85° diagonal FOV, 72° horizontal FOV, and 57° vertical FOV.
Q: What is the advantage of less than 1% TV distortion?
A: TV distortion below 1% cuts geometric deformation in captured images. It proves useful where object shape, relative position and image geometry must stay consistent across a wide field of view.
Q: What applications are suitable for this M12 low distortion lens?
A: Typical applications include machine vision, robotic vision, embedded AI cameras, smart inspection gear, compact monitoring systems and imaging platforms needing wide‑angle coverage with controlled distortion.
Q: What is the minimum object distance of this lens?
A: The specified minimum object distance is 0.1m, allowing the lens to be used for relatively close-range imaging when properly integrated with the camera and focus configuration.
Q: How can I calculate the field of view for this lens in my camera system?
A: Field of view depends on the lens focal length, sensor format, and imaging geometry. Towin’s FOV Calculator can be used to estimate the expected coverage for a specific camera configuration.
