Description
Elevate your vision system’s capabilities with our professional-grade 1/1.8″ 8MP 4mm M12 Wide Angle Lens. Engineered to deliver crystal-clear 4K (8-megapixel) resolution, this premium optic eliminates visual blind spots with an expansive 134° diagonal field of view on Sony IMX334 sensors. Featuring a robust, compact M12 mount and a flexible Manual Focus mechanism, this fixed focal lens is highly optimized for high-end CCTV lens setups, smart ITS lens platforms, drone & UAV lenses, and critical machine vision lens applications demanding uncompromised edge-to-edge sharpness.
Key Features & Product Highlights
- 8 MP 4K Ultra-HD Clarity: Optimized to render pin-sharp 8-megapixel details across the entire 1/1.8″ large-format sensor, resolving the peripheral blurring and purple fringing common in lower-tier lenses.
- 134° Multi-Lane Wide Field of View: Provides expansive horizontal coverage (115° H / 134° D), allowing a single camera to capture multiple highway lanes or vast factory rooms without adding extra cameras.
- 6G All-Glass Optical Infrastructure: Constructed with 6 layers of premium precision-ground glass (6G), guaranteeing maximum light transmission, scratch resistance, and zero thermal focus shift in harsh outdoor climates.
- Lockable Manual Focus Control: Equipped with an adjustable manual focus thread that allows engineering teams to dial in and lock the exact focal plane for specific target working distances, crucial for automated optical inspection.
- Optimized Geometric Distortion: Keeps optical distortion under <-49%, offering a significantly flatter, more natural perspective than traditional wide fisheye lenses, which heavily reduces backend software dewarping latency.

Target Applications & Device Compatibility
Optimized Application Scenarios
This premium 8MP M12 wide angle lens is built exclusively for elite industrial and security deployment requiring wide spatial spans combined with 4K structural detail. It excels in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), capturing ultra-clear multi-lane highway traffic data, urban intersection traffic flows, and high-speed electronic tolling monitoring where reading license plates clearly is mandatory. In factory automation (FA lens) environments, its 8MP resolution makes it an essential tool for wide-area assembly line scanning, high-precision robotic sorting, and security surveillance in smart warehouses. Furthermore, its light weight and compact 6G structure make it highly effective as a Drone & UAV lens for autonomous aerial mapping, agricultural health surveying, and infrastructure inspections under high-vibration conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this 8MP M12 lens be used on standard 1/2.8″ security camera sensors?
A: Yes, it is fully backward compatible with smaller sensor sizes. However, because a 1/2.8″ sensor is smaller than a 1/1.8″ sensor, your final field of view will be cropped (narrower) compared to the listed IMX334 specifications.

Q: How does the <-49% distortion affect my machine vision algorithms?
A: At <-49%, this lens behaves as a controlled fisheye lens or ultra-wide lens. While there is geometric curvature, the distortion is uniform, making it exceptionally easy to calibrate out using standard OpenCV or MATLAB grid calibration scripts.

Q: Does this lens include an integrated IR cut filter (IRCF)?
A: The standard model features a 6G pure glass structure optimized for visible light. If your application involves day/night surveillance or 850nm/940nm infrared illumination, we can supply versions with customized IR-cut or IR-pass filters installed.

Q: Is the manual focus ring lockable for high-vibration environments like drones?
A: Yes. The Manual Focus threading allows for precise calibration during installation. For high-vibration drone & UAV lenses or automotive lens applications, we recommend securing the threads with optical locking glue or a standard M12 locking ring.

Q: What is the benefit of the 6G all-glass structure over plastic lenses?
A: Plastic lenses degrade under sunlight and suffer from thermal expansion, which causes severe focus blurring. The 6G all-glass design guarantees high light throughput, resists scratches, and maintains perfect 8MP sharpness from sub-zero winter temperatures to hot industrial environments.
