Low Distortion Lens – S16012702312

S16012702312 is 16mm low distortion lens, 1/2.7″ M16x0.5 mount lens, fixed iris F1.2, high resolution 3-Megapixel CCTV lens, low light sensitive lens.

16mm M16 Low Distortion Lens

This 16mm F1.2 M16 Low Distortion Lens is a compact fixed focal lens designed for 1/2.7″ sensors and 3MP imaging systems. Its fast F1.2 aperture provides strong light-gathering capability, while the 16mm focal length delivers a focused field of view for compact camera applications operating under variable or limited illumination.

Product Highlights at a Glance

• F1.2 large aperture provides strong light-gathering capability for low-light imaging.
• 16mm focal length provides focused coverage for defined target areas.
• 3MP resolution supports standard high-definition imaging applications.
• M16×0.5 mount provides an alternative compact mounting interface for specialized camera designs.
• 0.2m M.O.D. allows relatively close-range imaging in space-constrained installations.

16mm M16 Low Distortion Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 16mm F1.2 Low Distortion Lens is designed for compact imaging systems where light collection is a key consideration. Its F1.2 aperture allows more light to reach the image sensor, making the lens suitable for environments where illumination may be limited or fluctuate during operation.

The 16mm focal length provides a relatively focused field of view of 23° horizontally and 17° vertically. Rather than covering a large scene, this configuration is better suited to camera systems that need to concentrate on a defined observation area, such as a specific entrance, equipment zone, access point, or localized monitoring target.

The lens is particularly useful for compact camera designs that require a balance between a longer focal length and a fast aperture. The 0.2m minimum object distance also provides flexibility for installations where the camera is positioned close to the monitored subject.

With its M16×0.5 mount, this lens provides a mounting option for camera platforms that do not use the more common M12, C-Mount, or CS-Mount interfaces. This makes it relevant to specialized OEM camera housings and application-specific embedded imaging equipment.

For engineers working with non-standard mechanical interfaces, Towin’s Other Mount Lenses provide additional options for specialized camera configurations. The Lens Selection Guide can also help evaluate focal length, sensor format, field of view, and mechanical requirements.

Designed for compact low-light imaging and specialized OEM camera applications.

For optical selection across different mechanical configurations, see Other Mount Lenses. If the application involves compact embedded imaging, the Optical Design section provides useful background for evaluating optical integration requirements.

The Focal Length Calculator can also help engineers determine whether a 16mm focal length is appropriate for their required working distance and target size.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What sensor size is this 16mm lens designed for?
A: This lens is designed for 1/2.7″ image sensors and provides 3 Megapixel imaging performance.

Q: What is the field of view of this 16mm lens?
A: The lens provides a 28° diagonal, 23° horizontal, and 17° vertical field of view.

Q: What is the main advantage of the F1.2 aperture?
A: F1.2 provides strong light-gathering capability, making the lens suitable for camera systems operating in low-light or variable-light environments.

Q: Is this lens a low distortion lens?
A: No. The specified distortion is less than -6.8%, so this lens is not positioned as a low distortion lens.

Q: Is this a wide-angle or fisheye lens?
A: No. Its 28° diagonal FOV provides relatively focused coverage and does not represent a typical fisheye or wide-angle configuration.

Q: What mount does this lens use?
A: The lens uses an M16×0.5 mount. This makes it a specialized mounting configuration rather than an M12, C-Mount, or CS-Mount lens.

Q: What is the minimum object distance?
A: The minimum object distance is 0.2m, allowing the lens to image relatively close targets.

Q: Can this lens be integrated into an OEM camera design?
A: Yes. Its fixed focal configuration and M16×0.5 mount make it suitable for specialized OEM camera platforms. Towin can evaluate requirements involving sensor format, focal length, mechanical dimensions, and application conditions through the Contact Towin page.
