Low Distortion Lens – S12012702616

S12012702616 is 12mm High-resolution low-distortion lens, 1/2.7″ Low F-number M12/S mount lenses, F1.6 aperture 5 Megapixel CCTV HD lens.

1/2.7″ Low Distortion Lens

This 12mm F1.6 M12 lens is a high-resolution fixed focal lens designed for 1/2.7″ sensors, delivering 5MP imaging with less than -2.5% distortion. Its narrow 26° horizontal field of view and controlled optical distortion make it suitable for compact imaging systems that require accurate scene reproduction and focused target coverage.

Product Highlights at a Glance

• < -2.5% distortion supports more accurate image geometry.
• 12mm focal length provides focused target coverage for longer-distance imaging setups.
• 5MP resolution delivers detailed images for high-definition compact vision systems.
• F1.6 aperture provides strong light-gathering capability for variable-light environments.
• M12×0.5 mount enables integration into compact camera and embedded vision modules.

Low Distortion Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 12mm M12 low distortion lens is designed for imaging applications where controlled perspective and accurate image geometry are more important than extremely wide scene coverage. Its 26° horizontal FOV provides a relatively focused view, while the specified distortion of less than -2.5% helps reduce geometric deformation across the image.

The lens is particularly suitable for compact vision systems that need to observe a defined target area from a moderate working distance. Potential applications include dimensional observation, component inspection, barcode and code imaging, equipment monitoring, and embedded camera systems where excessive barrel or pincushion distortion could affect image interpretation.

The 5MP optical specification provides sufficient image detail for high-resolution compact imaging platforms. Combined with the 12mm focal length, it can help system designers concentrate pixels on a specific inspection or monitoring area rather than distributing the available resolution across an excessively wide scene.

The F1.6 aperture further supports applications where illumination is not completely uniform. It provides useful light-gathering capability while maintaining a compact M12 form factor. The 0.2m minimum object distance also gives designers flexibility when the camera needs to be positioned relatively close to the target.

For systems where image geometry is important, the Distortion Guide provides additional information about lens distortion and its influence on imaging results. Engineers can also review the Lens Selection Guide when comparing focal length, sensor format, FOV, and distortion requirements.
