Low Distortion Lens – S13012002528F

S13012002528F is Low-distortion M12-mount 48-Megapixel CCTV lens with Built-In IR Filter, 1/1.8″ or 1/2″ format, F2.8, suitable for surveillance or imaging applications.

13.98mm 48MP M12 Low Distortion Lens

This 13.98mm 48MP M12 lens is designed for high-resolution industrial imaging, machine vision, and compact camera systems that require detailed image capture from 1/1.8″ and 1/2″ sensors. With up to 48MP resolution, an F2.8 aperture, and a controlled 31.5° diagonal field of view on a 1/2″ IMX586 sensor, it provides high-definition imaging in a compact optical package.

The 13.98mm ±5% fixed focal length provides a relatively narrow, controlled viewing area for applications where the camera needs to capture fine target details without relying on an extremely wide field of view. Its M12x0.5 mount and 17.78mm total track length also support compact camera integration.

13.98mm M12 Low Distortion Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 48MP M12 lens is intended for imaging systems where high pixel resolution and compact optical integration are key requirements. Its high-resolution design can capture fine details that are useful for visual inspection, object recognition, surface analysis, and AI-based image processing.

The 13.98mm focal length provides a controlled field of view rather than an ultra-wide perspective, making the lens suitable for fixed-position inspection, component recognition, product detail imaging, barcode and code reading, and embedded industrial cameras. The 0.15m minimum object distance also supports relatively close target imaging when the camera must be installed near the inspection area.

With a 48MP rating, this lens can be considered for advanced camera platforms where image detail is important. When selecting a lens for a high-resolution sensor, it is also important to evaluate sensor size, image circle, focal length, working distance, and actual lens resolution rather than relying on megapixel rating alone. The Sensor Guide and Lens Selection Guide provide useful references for these optical considerations.

Designed for high-resolution machine vision, industrial inspection, and compact embedded imaging applications.

For projects requiring different focal lengths or sensor coverage, the M12 Lenses range offers additional compact optical configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What resolution does this M12 lens support?
A: The lens is specified with a 48MP resolution rating, making it suitable for high-resolution camera systems requiring detailed image capture.

Q: Which sensor formats are compatible with this lens?
A: The specified image formats are 1/1.8″ and 1/2″. The listed field of view is specifically measured with a 1/2″ IMX586 sensor.

Q: What is the field of view of the 13.98mm lens?
A: With the 1/2″ IMX586 sensor, the lens provides a 31.5° diagonal, 25.5° horizontal, and 19.4° vertical field of view.

Q: Is this a low distortion M12 lens?
A: The specified TV distortion is below 1%, providing controlled image geometry. However, it is more appropriate to describe the product as a high-resolution lens with controlled distortion rather than an ultra-low-distortion lens.

Q: Is this lens suitable for machine vision applications?
A: Yes. Its 48MP resolution, controlled field of view, fixed focal length, and compact M12 mount make it suitable for high-resolution machine vision and industrial imaging systems.

Q: What is the minimum object distance?
A: The minimum object distance is 0.15m, or 150mm, allowing the lens to be used for relatively close-range imaging.

Q: Does “With IRCF” mean the lens is IR corrected?
A: No. IRCF refers to the optical construction, but this specification alone does not confirm that the lens is corrected for infrared wavelengths. Therefore, it should not be classified as an IR Corrected Lens without additional optical data.

Q: What is the benefit of the M12x0.5 mount?
A: The M12x0.5 mount provides a compact mechanical interface that is commonly used in embedded cameras, industrial camera modules, and other space-constrained imaging systems.
