Description
Unlock unparalleled imaging precision with our premium 1/1.8″ 12MP 3.2mm M12 Automotive Lens. Engineered to support massive 12-megapixel resolution across an expansive 154° diagonal field of view, this fixed focal lens bridges the gap between ultra-wide coverage and extreme detail. Featuring a versatile M12x0.5 mount and a reliable Manual Focus mechanism, it serves as the ultimate machine vision lens, drone & UAV lens, and high-performance CCTV lens for advanced optical applications.
Key Features & Product Highlights
- 12 MP Ultra-High Resolution: Captures granular, pixel-dense imagery across the entire 1/1.8″ large-format sensor, solving the edge-blurring issue common in traditional wide-angle lenses.
- 154° Panoramic Fisheye View: Provides an expansive 154° diagonal coverage that minimizes surveillance blind spots and maximizes data acquisition per frame for aerial and industrial monitoring.
- 8G+IRCF Precision Optics: Constructed with an 8-layer all-glass (8G) infrastructure and an integrated infrared cut filter, ensuring high light transmission, minimal thermal drift, and true-to-life color rendering.
- Lockable Manual Focus Control: Equipped with a manual focus ring that allows engineers to dial in the absolute sharpest focal plane for specific working distances, preventing focus shift over extended use.
- Optimized Wide-Angle Distortion: Restricts optical distortion to <-58%, offering a much flatter panoramic image than standard fisheye optics, which simplifies software-based dewarping algorithms.
