How to Use TOWIN’s Optical Lens Selector Tool (3 Simple Steps)
Follow these steps to find your perfect lens:
1. Select Lens Category & Mount Type
Choose from M12/S-Mount, C-Mount, CS-Mount – the three core mount types of TOWIN lenses.
Enter or select key specs: E.F.L (focal length), sensor size (1/1.8″, 1/2″, 2/3″, etc.), resolution (MP), H.F.O.V (field of view), FNo, iris type (Fixed/Manual/DC Auto).
The tool supports range filtering (e.g., focal length 2mm-8mm, resolution ≥5MP) for flexible selection.
3. View Results & Get Support
The tool automatically displays all matching lens models with complete specs (P/N, max distortion, T.T.L, etc.).
Click on the lens model to view the detailed datasheet or send an inquiry directly.
For customized needs, fill in the custom parameter form and our team will reply within 24 hours.
Parameter Filter Guide – What You Need to Know
To help you select parameters more accurately, we have sorted out the core parameter definitions and application suggestions for optical lenses. This guide is integrated into the selector tool as a pop-up tip for quick reference:
Core Parameter
Abbreviation
Definition
Key Application Suggestion
Effective Focal Length
E.F.L
The distance from the lens optical center to the image plane
Short E.F.L (≤4mm) for wide-angle/fisheye shooting; Long E.F.L (≥8mm) for long-distance monitoring/machine vision
Horizontal Field of View
H.F.O.V
The horizontal visual range of the lens
≥180° for panoramic surveillance; 40°-80° for industrial machine vision positioning
Megapixel
MP
Lens resolution
≥20MP for high-precision machine vision; 5MP-8MP for general surveillance/automotive applications
Sensor Size
–
The size of the camera sensor matching the lens
Select lens with sensor size consistent with camera for no vignetting
F-Number
FNo
The light transmittance of the lens (smaller = higher transmittance)
FNo ≤2.0 for low-light shooting scenarios; F1.4~16 for adjustable light conditions
Max Distortion
–
The maximum image distortion rate of the lens
≤1% for high-precision machine vision; ≤20% acceptable for fisheye panoramic lenses
Iris Type
–
Lens aperture adjustment type
Fixed for simple scenarios; Manual/DC Auto for variable light conditions (outdoor surveillance/industrial sites)
