Low Distortion Lens – CCL125029MPF

CCL125029MPF Low distortion wide angle 2.9mm 1/2.5″ 85° M12 mount lens F4.0 HD 5MP rectilinear scanning

2.9mm 5MP M12 Low Distortion Wide Angle Lens

This 2.9mm M12 low distortion lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require a wide field of view, 5MP resolution, and controlled geometric distortion. With a 1/2.5″ image format, 102° diagonal FOV, and distortion below -1%, it provides broad scene coverage while helping reduce image deformation at the edges. The F4.0 fixed aperture and 0.01m minimum object distance make this lens particularly suitable for close-range imaging in compact camera systems. Its M12 × 0.5 mount, Φ14 × 18.5mm dimensions, and integrated 6E + IR cut optical configuration support space-constrained camera designs where optical performance and mechanical integration are both important. Designed for low-distortion wide-angle imaging applications, this fixed focal lens is suitable for embedded vision, compact monitoring, industrial imaging, and other applications requiring a broad viewing area with controlled distortion.

Product Core Highlights

• < -1% Low Distortion: Helps reduce geometric deformation while maintaining a broad field of view.
• 102° Wide Diagonal FOV: Captures a large scene area for compact camera applications.
• 5MP Resolution: Provides detailed image capture for embedded monitoring and vision systems.
• 0.01m M.O.D.: Supports extremely close-range imaging where the camera needs to focus on nearby objects.
• Compact M12 Configuration: M12 × 0.5 mounting and Φ14 × 18.5mm dimensions simplify integration into compact camera modules.

M12 Low Distortion Lens Applications

The combination of wide FOV, low distortion, 5MP resolution, and an extremely short 0.01m minimum object distance gives this lens a distinct advantage for compact imaging systems that need to cover a broad area from a short working distance.

Close-Range Machine Vision

The 0.01m minimum object distance allows the lens to be considered for close-range imaging tasks where the camera is installed near the target. The < -1% distortion specification can help maintain more accurate object geometry than conventional wide-angle lenses.

Compatible devices: Compact machine vision cameras, embedded inspection modules, smart cameras, and close-range vision systems.

For selecting an appropriate sensor and lens combination, see the Sensor Guide.

Wide-Area Embedded Vision

The 102° diagonal field of view allows a single compact camera to capture a relatively broad scene. This can be useful when installation space is limited but the imaging system still needs wide scene coverage.

Compatible devices: Embedded cameras, IoT vision devices, smart camera modules, compact monitoring cameras, and edge vision systems.

Industrial Monitoring

The combination of 5MP resolution and < -1% distortion makes this lens suitable for industrial monitoring tasks where both scene coverage and controlled image geometry are important. The 2.9mm focal length can help capture larger areas from relatively short camera-to-target distances.

Compatible devices: Industrial monitoring cameras, factory inspection cameras, compact surveillance modules, and embedded industrial vision equipment.

Smart Security & Compact Surveillance

The 85° horizontal and 68° vertical FOV provide broad coverage for compact camera systems. The integrated IR cut configuration can be considered when the imaging system requires infrared filtering as part of its optical design.

Compatible devices: Smart security cameras, indoor monitoring cameras, compact IP camera modules, and embedded surveillance devices.

Why Choose This 2.9mm M12 Low Distortion Lens?

This lens is optimized for applications that need wide-angle coverage without relying on a highly distorted optical design. Its < -1% distortion specification provides controlled geometric performance, while the 102° diagonal FOV captures a broad scene. The extremely short 0.01m M.O.D. is another key advantage, making the lens suitable for close-range imaging where conventional lenses may struggle to focus on nearby objects. Combined with a 5MP resolution, M12 × 0.5 mount, and compact Φ14 × 18.5mm dimensions, it provides a practical optical solution for embedded and industrial camera systems.
