This 3.0mm M7 wide angle lens is designed for compact camera modules that require a broad field of view while maintaining up to 8MP image resolution. With a 122° diagonal FOV, 106° horizontal FOV, and 59° vertical FOV on a 1/2.9″ sensor, it captures a large scene area from a compact optical package.
The lens uses an M7×0.35 mount, F2.4 aperture, and a minimum object distance of only 0.1m, making it suitable for space-constrained embedded imaging systems and close-range wide-area monitoring. Its 1.5mm BFL and 9.49mm TTL further support compact camera integration. The 2G3P optical structure with IRCF provides a practical configuration for camera modules requiring integrated infrared-cut filtering.
For applications where wide scene coverage is more important than geometric accuracy, this 3.0mm M7 8MP lens provides a practical combination of wide FOV, compact dimensions, and high-resolution imaging.
The combination of a 3.0mm focal length and 122° diagonal FOV makes this lens particularly suitable when a compact camera needs to cover a large area without using a physically larger optical assembly.
The 0.1m minimum object distance is useful for close-range imaging where the camera may be positioned near the target. This makes the lens appropriate for compact embedded cameras, smart devices, indoor monitoring modules, and short-distance sensing systems.
The 8MP capability also makes it suitable for applications where wide coverage and image detail need to be balanced. However, because the lens has more than 15% negative TV distortion, it is better suited to applications that can tolerate significant wide-angle geometric distortion rather than precision measurement or metrology.
Designed for compact wide-angle imaging applications where high resolution, short working distance, and broad scene coverage are required.

Q: What sensor is the 3.0mm M7 lens designed for?
A: This lens is specified for a 1/2.9″ image format and provides 122° diagonal, 106° horizontal, and 59° vertical FOV.
Q: What is the field of view of this 3.0mm M7 lens?
A: The lens provides a 122° diagonal FOV, 106° horizontal FOV, and 59° vertical FOV, giving it a very broad viewing area.
Q: Is this a low distortion lens?
A: No. With TV distortion below ‑15%, this lens is not a low‑distortion type. It targets applications prioritizing wide scene coverage over precise geometric reproduction.
Q: Is this lens a fisheye lens?
A: It has a very wide 122° diagonal FOV, but the available specifications do not identify it as a fisheye optical design. It is therefore better described as an ultra-wide-angle M7 lens.
Q: What is the minimum object distance of this lens?
A: The minimum object distance is 0.1m, allowing the lens to image subjects at relatively short distances.
Q: What does IRCF mean in this lens specification?
A: IRCF refers to an infrared cut filter. It helps block infrared wavelengths from reaching the image sensor. An IRCF-equipped lens should not automatically be classified as an IR-corrected lens.
Q: What type of camera uses an M7×0.35 lens?
A: The M7×0.35 mount is commonly used in compact camera modules and miniature embedded imaging systems where a small optical package is required.
Q: Can this lens be used for machine vision?
A: It can be considered for compact machine vision systems when the application requires a very wide field of view and can tolerate the specified distortion. For precision inspection, distortion requirements should be evaluated carefully before selection. See the Machine Vision solutions for more application information.
