This 22mm 12MP M12 Low Distortion Lens is designed for 1/1.7″ image sensors, including the Sony IMX226, and delivers a 24° diagonal field of view with less than 1% distortion. With an F2.8 fixed aperture and high relative illumination above 80%, it is suited to high-resolution machine vision and compact industrial imaging systems.
This 22mm 12MP M12 lens is designed for compact vision systems that require high image resolution without moving to a larger C-Mount optical assembly. Its 1/1.7″ image format and 12MP specification make it particularly suitable for camera modules built around high-resolution sensors such as the IMX226.
The 24° diagonal FOV provides focused coverage of a defined inspection area, making the lens suitable for high-detail component inspection and localized machine vision tasks. The less-than-1% distortion specification helps maintain controlled image geometry, which is useful when vision algorithms need consistent object contours, positions, or dimensions.
Another important characteristic is its relative illumination above 80%. High relative illumination helps reduce brightness falloff toward the edges of the image, supporting more consistent image quality across the sensor area. This can be valuable for inspection systems where targets may appear at different positions within the camera frame.
The F2.8 fixed aperture provides a balanced optical configuration for industrial camera systems, while the 0.2m M.O.D. allows the lens to be used in relatively close-range imaging setups. The M12 × 0.5 mount further supports compact camera integration where mechanical space is limited.
For engineers designing a high-resolution embedded camera, the Sensor Guide can help evaluate sensor and lens compatibility. TOWIN’s Lens Selection Guide can also be used when comparing focal length, sensor size, FOV, and working distance.

If you need to verify the image coverage for a specific working distance, the FOV Calculator can help estimate the required field of view. The Focal Length Calculator can also be used to compare focal-length options during system design.
Designed for high-resolution machine vision inspection, IMX226 camera modules, and compact industrial imaging applications.
Q: What sensor format is supported by this 22mm M12 lens?
A: The lens is designed for a 1/1.7″ image format and is specified for use with the IMX226 sensor.
Q: What resolution does this M12 lens support?
A: The lens is specified for 12MP imaging, making it suitable for high-resolution industrial and machine vision camera systems.
Q: What is the field of view of the lens?
A: When used with the specified IMX226 sensor, the lens provides a 24° diagonal FOV, 20° horizontal FOV, and 15° vertical FOV.
Q: Is this a low distortion lens?
A: Yes. The specified distortion is less than 1%, providing controlled geometric reproduction for industrial imaging and inspection applications.
Q: What does relative illumination above 80% mean?
A: Relative illumination indicates how evenly light is distributed across the image compared with the center. A specification above 80% indicates relatively strong illumination uniformity across the sensor area.
Q: What is the minimum object distance of this lens?
A: The specified M.O.D. is 0.2m, or 200mm. The practical working distance should be determined according to the target dimensions and required field of view.
Q: Can this 12MP M12 lens be used for machine vision?
A: Yes. The 12MP resolution, 1/1.7″ sensor coverage, low distortion, high relative illumination, and M12 × 0.5 mount make it suitable for selected high-resolution machine vision applications.
Q: How can I determine whether this 22mm lens provides enough coverage?
A: Coverage depends on the sensor format, focal length, and working distance. The FOV Calculator can help estimate the image area, while the Lens Selection Guide provides guidance on selecting an appropriate lens. For application-specific optical requirements, you can contact TOWIN.
