Low Distortion Lens – CCL123036MPFR

CCL123036MPFR Low distortion wide angle 3.6mm 82° M12 mount lens 1/2.3“ with HD 14MP IMX117 UAV drone

3.65mm 12.5MP M12 Low Distortion Wide Angle Lens

The 3.65mm 12.5MP M12 Low Distortion Wide Angle Lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require a broad field of view while maintaining accurate image geometry. Supporting a 1/2.3″ image format and up to 12.5MP resolution, this fixed focal lens provides a 94° diagonal, 82° horizontal, and 69° vertical FOV with TV distortion below 0.5%. Its F2.8 fixed aperture and M12x0.5 mount make it suitable for compact embedded cameras, machine vision systems, industrial inspection equipment, and other space-constrained imaging devices. With a 0.1m minimum object distance, the lens can also capture relatively close-range targets while maintaining a wide viewing area.

Designed for compact machine vision and industrial imaging applications, this lens combines wide-angle coverage with low geometric distortion, helping cameras capture a larger scene without significant edge deformation. The 6E+IRF optical construction further supports a compact lens design for high-resolution imaging systems.

M12 Low Distortion Lens Application

Machine Vision Inspection

The combination of 12.5MP resolution, 82° horizontal FOV, and <0.5% distortion makes this lens suitable for machine vision systems that need to inspect relatively large areas while preserving image geometry. It can be integrated into compact inspection cameras for object detection, positioning, dimensional inspection, and surface analysis.

Industrial Object Detection

The 3.65mm focal length provides broad scene coverage, while the low-distortion optical design helps reduce geometric deformation around the image edges. This makes the lens suitable for industrial cameras used for object presence detection, equipment monitoring, and automated visual inspection.

Compact Embedded Vision Systems

With an M12x0.5 mount, 25mm TTL, and fixed iris, the lens is well suited to compact embedded cameras where installation space is limited. Typical devices may include smart cameras, robotic vision modules, compact inspection cameras, and other embedded imaging equipment.

For additional guidance on selecting lenses for different sensors and imaging requirements, see the Lens Selection Guide.

Wide-Area Close-Range Imaging

The 0.1m MOD allows the lens to be positioned relatively close to the target while retaining a broad field of view. This can be useful for applications where the camera must capture a nearby object or inspection area within a restricted installation space.
