3.0mm M22 8MP Wide Angle Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 3.0mm M22 lens is designed for high-resolution wide-angle imaging where both broad scene coverage and image detail are important. Its support for the 1/1.2″ Sony IMX585 sensor and 8MP resolution makes it suitable for camera systems that require more imaging information than conventional compact 2MP or 3MP modules.

The 126° diagonal field of view allows the camera to capture a wide scene while the specified TV distortion of less than -14.8% provides more controlled geometric rendering than typical strongly distorted fisheye optics. This makes the lens particularly relevant to embedded industrial cameras, intelligent monitoring devices, robotics vision modules, and wide-area machine vision systems where excessive geometric distortion can reduce useful image information.

The F1.0 aperture is another important feature for demanding imaging environments. It provides strong light-gathering capability for indoor scenes, low-illumination industrial areas, and other applications where maintaining image brightness is important.

With a 0.3m minimum object distance, this lens can also support relatively close-range inspection and observation. The 4.14mm B.F.L. and M22x0.5 mount should be considered during mechanical integration with the camera housing and sensor assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is the 3.0mm M22 lens?
A: It is a fixed focal length, wide angle M22 lens designed for 1/1.2″ high-resolution image sensors. It provides a 126° diagonal field of view and supports up to 8MP resolution.

Q: Which image sensor is this lens designed for?
A: The specification identifies the 1/1.2″ Sony IMX585 as the reference sensor. The lens provides a 126° diagonal, 103° horizontal, and 54° vertical FOV with this sensor configuration.

Q: Is this lens a fisheye lens?
A: With 126° FOV and -14.8% TV distortion, it adopts a controlled wide-angle design instead of heavy-distortion fisheye optics; per given specs, it is classified as a wide-angle lens, not fisheye.

Q: What is the advantage of the F1.0 aperture?
A: F1.0 provides high light-gathering capability, which can help maintain image brightness and exposure performance in indoor, low-light, and variable-light imaging environments.

Q: What does the -14.8% TV distortion specification mean?
A: TV distortion measures line deviation from ideal geometry; -14.8% means controlled yet visible wide-angle distortion, relevant for applications demanding accurate geometric representation.

Q: What is the purpose of the IRCF structure?
A: IRCF is an infrared-cut filter assembly paired with holder, forming integrated optics for camera module assembly and visible-light imaging.

Q: Can this lens be used for machine vision?
A: Suitable for machine vision systems needing high-res wide-area imaging; final suitability depends on inspection target, working distance, FOV and measurement accuracy.

Q: Can Towin customize this M22 lens for a specific camera system?
A: Towin can evaluate optical and mechanical customization based on the sensor, FOV, working distance, housing dimensions, filter requirements, and other system parameters. Project-specific requirements can be submitted through Contact Towin.
