Low Distortion Lens – CCL123034MPFR

CCL123034MPFR Low distortion wide angle 3.4mm 85° M12 mount lens 1/2.3“ with HD 18MP UAV drone

3.4mm 18MP M12 Wide Angle Low Distortion Lens

The 3.4mm 18MP M12 Wide Angle Low Distortion Lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require high-resolution image capture, broad scene coverage, and controlled geometric distortion. With an 18MP resolution and a 3.4mm fixed focal length, this lens delivers a 98° diagonal, 85° horizontal, and 68.8° vertical field of view, making it suitable for wide-area imaging where a larger scene needs to be captured from a compact camera position. The lens supports a 1/2.3″ image format and provides optical distortion below 2%.

Designed for high-resolution wide-angle imaging applications, this M12 lens combines an F2.8 fixed aperture with an integrated IR cut component and a 5G2ASP optical construction. Its M12 × 0.5 mount supports compact camera integration, while the 0.4m minimum object distance provides flexibility for applications requiring a relatively close viewing position.

M12 Low Distortion Lens Application

High-Resolution Machine Vision

The combination of 18MP resolution and a wide 85° horizontal FOV makes this lens suitable for machine vision systems that need to capture a relatively large inspection area while retaining high image detail. The controlled <2% optical distortion can also help maintain a more consistent representation of objects across the image.

Compatible devices: high-resolution industrial cameras, compact inspection cameras, automated inspection modules, and embedded machine vision systems.

Wide-Area Industrial Inspection

The 3.4mm focal length provides broad scene coverage, which can be useful when the camera needs to monitor a larger area from a limited installation position. The 18MP resolution provides additional image information for identifying small details within the captured scene.

Compatible devices: factory monitoring cameras, industrial inspection systems, smart cameras, and automated detection equipment.

For assistance with matching sensor size and lens specifications, see the Sensor Guide.

Smart Camera & Embedded Vision

The M12 × 0.5 mount and compact optical architecture make this lens suitable for embedded vision devices where camera size and field coverage are important. Its 3.4mm focal length allows a single compact camera to capture a broad scene, while 18MP resolution supports detailed image analysis.

Compatible devices: smart cameras, embedded vision modules, edge AI cameras, compact imaging devices, and intelligent inspection cameras.

Wide-Angle Object Detection

The 98° diagonal FOV enables the camera to capture a broad area without requiring an extremely large camera enclosure. This makes the lens suitable for object detection and scene monitoring applications where wide coverage and high image detail are both required.

Compatible devices: object detection cameras, intelligent monitoring devices, vision sensors, and embedded recognition systems.

Compact High-Resolution Imaging

This lens is particularly suitable for systems that need to combine a compact M12 interface with very high image resolution. The 18MP specification makes it appropriate for newer high-pixel-count imaging platforms where a standard 2MP or 5MP M12 lens would not provide sufficient image detail.

Compatible devices: high-resolution camera modules, embedded imaging systems, smart inspection cameras, and specialized vision equipment.

Why Choose This 3.4mm 18MP M12 Low Distortion Lens?

The main advantage of this lens is the combination of 18MP resolution and wide-angle coverage in an M12 optical format. The 3.4mm focal length provides a 98° diagonal field of view, allowing the camera to capture a broad scene while the 18MP resolution preserves a high level of image detail.

The lens also provides <2% optical distortion, which is particularly valuable because wide-angle optical designs can introduce significant geometric deformation. By controlling distortion, this lens can provide a more usable image for inspection, detection, and analysis.

The integrated IR cut component makes the lens suitable for visible-light imaging architectures where unwanted infrared wavelengths need to be filtered. It should not be described as an IR corrected lens because the supplied specification identifies an IR cut component rather than IR correction.
