Description
Achieve uncompromised geometric precision with our professional 4.2mm F3.0 14MP M12 Low Distortion Lens. Expertly optimized for standard 1/3” image sensors, this ultra-high-resolution fixed focal lens introduces an elite 3G2P+IRF (3 Glass + 2 Plastic Elements + IR Filter) optical blueprint. Delivering a massive 14-megapixel tracking fidelity, it features a near-zero TV distortion rate of less than -0.2% over an optimized 73° diagonal wide-angle view. With its lightweight frame (Φ15.31×14.5mm) and a highly minimized 21.84mm TTL, this S-mount lens completely bypasses processor-heavy de-warping scripts, standing out as the premier selection for demanding machine vision lens processing, advanced industrial lens setups, and rigid FA lens systems.
Key Features & Product Highlights
- 14MP Ultra-High Resolution: Maximizes pixel density on 1/3″ format CMOS sensors to reveal microscopic object details without peripheral sharpness degradation.
- <-0.2% Perfect Linear Accuracy: Eradicates standard wide-angle barrel distortion completely, rendering straight target lines with zero geometric deviation for AI positioning.
- Streamlined Low-Profile Architecture: Engineered with a compact 21.84mm TTL and tiny Φ15.31mm body, drastically lowering mechanical weight and integration space requirements.
- Optimized F3.0 Fixed Iris: Provides a highly reliable depth of field (DoF) to guarantee that inspection components from close-range to infinity remain entirely sharp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Why is a <-0.2% distortion rating critical for high-end machine vision?
Standard wide-angle lenses warp target images around the edges. A specialized low distortion lens with less than -0.2% distortion ensures straight lines stay completely straight on screen. This lets your FA lens software run measurement calculations instantly without wasting computer processing power on de-warping.
Q2: What are the benefits of the 14MP rating on a standard 1/3″ lens format?
Most 1/3″ format lenses only offer up to 2MP or 5MP resolution. Our advanced 14MP resolution layout packs extreme pixel clarity into the standard 1/3″ architecture, which allows security or industrial scanning software to digital-zoom deeply into objects without fracturing image clarity.
Q3: What is the benefit of the 3G2P hybrid lens architecture?
The 3G2P configuration integrates 3 premium Glass elements to handle thermal focus stability and central sharpness, combined with 2 Molded Plastic elements to correct aberrations and hit a <-0.2% distortion rate. This hybrid engineering keeps the assembly lightweight, compact, and highly cost-effective.
Q4: Does this 4.2mm lens come equipped with an integrated IR cut filter?
Yes, this model features a built-in Infrared Cut Filter (3G2P+IRF construction). It passes visible light while blocking infrared wavelengths during daylight operations, guaranteeing vivid, true-to-life color reproduction on your analytics display monitor.
Q5: Is the focus reliable under heavy-vibration robotic arm environments?
Absolutely. Sporting a very short 21.84mm TTL, an ultra-compact Φ15.31mm outer profile, and a solid fixed iris, this lens carries an exceptionally low center of gravity. Once it is screwed tightly into your M12x0.5 base mount and locked, it avoids any focus displacement caused by vibration.
Q6: Can this 1/3″ format lens be used on a larger 1/2.3″ camera sensor?
No, it is not recommended. If you integrate a 1/3″ format lens onto a larger 1/2.3″ sensor, it will result in severe dark corners (vignetting) because the image circle of the lens cannot fully cover the wider sensor matrix. It is perfectly optimized for 1/3″ sensors or smaller.
