This 50mm M12 ultra low distortion lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require a narrow field of view, precise target framing, and highly accurate image reproduction. Supporting 1/2″ and 2/3″ image formats, the lens delivers megapixel-level imaging with extremely low distortion of less than 0.03%. Its 50mm fixed focal length, F2.5 aperture, and 0.4m minimum object distance make it suitable for precision inspection, target recognition, measurement, and long-distance observation in compact vision systems. Designed for precision imaging applications, this M12 lens combines a compact 27mm diameter with a 56.90mm TTL for integration into space-constrained optical equipment.
When selecting a 50mm lens, engineers should consider sensor size, target distance, and required field of view together. TOWIN’s Lens Selection Guide can help evaluate these factors before selecting the final optical configuration.
The 50mm focal length and extremely low distortion make this lens fundamentally different from wide-angle M12 optics. Its narrow field of view is better suited to applications where the camera needs to concentrate on a specific target area rather than capture an entire scene.
Precision Target Inspection
The <0.03% distortion specification makes this lens particularly suitable for imaging applications where maintaining the geometric accuracy of the target is important. It can support visual inspection of components, dimensional observation, positioning, and automated image analysis.
Designed for precision target inspection applications, the lens can be integrated into compact inspection cameras and automated optical inspection systems where a narrow FOV is preferred.
Object Recognition and Identification
The 50mm focal length allows the camera to concentrate on a defined target area, which can be useful for object recognition and identification systems. The narrow viewing angle can help reduce unnecessary background information and focus image processing on the target.
Compact Measurement Systems
Ultra-low distortion is especially valuable when image geometry needs to remain stable for measurement-related applications. This lens can be considered for compact measurement equipment, dimensional observation systems, and vision modules requiring controlled optical distortion.
Long-Distance or Focused Observation
Compared with short focal length M12 lenses, the 50mm focal length provides a much narrower viewing angle. This makes it suitable for applications where the camera is positioned farther from the target or where only a specific area of a larger scene needs to be observed.
Embedded Industrial Imaging
The M12 × 0.5 interface allows the lens to be integrated into compact embedded camera architectures. Its Φ27 × 52.8mm dimensions provide a relatively compact mechanical package for a 50mm focal length lens.
For broader industrial imaging requirements, TOWIN offers dedicated Industrial Lens solutions as well as compact optical configurations for embedded systems.

Q: What is the distortion of this 50mm lens?
A: The specified distortion is less than 0.03%, making it particularly suitable for applications where accurate image geometry is important.
Q: What sensor formats does this lens support?
A: The supplied specification lists both 1/2″ and 2/3″ image formats.
Q: Is a 50mm M12 lens suitable for machine vision?
A: It can be used for selected machine vision applications, particularly precision inspection, target observation, recognition, and measurement tasks that benefit from a narrow FOV and very low distortion.
Q: Is this lens suitable for wide-angle imaging?
A: No. With a 50mm focal length and a 9.2° diagonal FOV specification, this lens is intended for narrow-field, focused imaging rather than wide-area coverage.
