M16 Wide Angle Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 3.0mm M16 lens is designed for imaging systems that need to combine a large sensor format with an extremely wide viewing angle. With a 1/1.8″ image format and 131° diagonal FOV, it can capture a broad area while maintaining compatibility with higher-resolution camera modules.

The F1.0 aperture provides strong light-gathering capability, making this lens suitable for indoor monitoring, dim industrial environments, and other applications where maintaining sufficient image brightness is important. The 4MP resolution provides practical image detail for scene monitoring and embedded vision applications.

Its 0.3m minimum object distance also makes it suitable for relatively close-range imaging. This can be useful when the camera is installed near equipment, work areas, entrances, robotic platforms, or other targets where a standard narrow-angle lens would not provide sufficient coverage.

The M16x0.5 mount distinguishes this model from common M12 camera lenses. It can be considered for customized camera assemblies where the mechanical interface, sensor format, and required field of view call for a larger or application-specific lens mount.

Compatible Device List

When matching this lens with a 1/1.8″ sensor, the sensor’s active image area and optical coverage should be verified during system design. The Sensor Guide provides additional information about sensor formats and lens compatibility.

For projects where the required field of view depends on installation distance and target size, the FOV Calculator can be used to estimate the required optical configuration.

If the application involves selecting focal length based on the target area and camera position, the Lens Selection Guide provides additional guidance for industrial and embedded imaging systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this 3.0mm M16 lens?
A: It is a fixed focal length wide angle lens with an M16x0.5 mount, designed for 1/1.8″ image sensors and providing a 131° diagonal field of view.

Q: What is the field of view of this 3.0mm lens?
A: On a 1/1.8″ sensor, the specified FOV is 131° diagonal, 110° horizontal, and 60° vertical.

Q: Is this 3.0mm M16 lens a fisheye lens?
A: The lens has an extremely wide 131° diagonal FOV, but the supplied specifications do not identify it as a fisheye design. Therefore, it is classified as a wide angle lens rather than a fisheye lens based on the available information.

Q: Why does this lens have -49% distortion?
A: The strong negative distortion is associated with its very wide-angle optical design. Such distortion allows a broad field of view to be achieved within a compact 3.0mm focal length.

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

Q: What does the 0.3m M.O.D. specification mean?
A: M.O.D. means Minimum Object Distance. A 0.3m M.O.D. indicates that the lens can focus on relatively close subjects from approximately 0.3 meters under the specified optical configuration.

Q: What does the 2G6P optical structure mean?
A: 2G6P denotes an optical construction with two glass and six plastic elements. This hybrid design delivers required wide-angle performance within a compact lens form.

Q: Can this lens be used for machine vision applications?
A: Suitable for machine vision systems for wide-area observation, situational awareness or close-range imaging. Its relatively high distortion requires careful evaluation before use in precision measurement.
