Wondering how to calculate the field of view or depth of field? Our calculators help you determine which lens and image sensor combination is optimal.
Find A Lens For Your Project Using our Advanced M12 Lens Calculator
Start with Off-the-Shelf Lenses for Your Prototype
We provide cost-effective M12 lenses and CS mount lenses to help you get started quickly. Our M12 lens calculator provides the Field of View of our lenses on any sensor.
An M12 lens is a small lens for 12mm diameter threaded mounts. Our lenses range from 1mm to 25mm EFL and include fisheye, wide-angle, and no-distortion lenses.

Identify a Solution Using Our M12 Lens Finder and Field of view Calculator
Input: Select your sensor, sensor format type, or enter your sensor's output pixel information.
Output: The field of view of each lens is calculated. Image circle coverage (%) is calculated for fisheyes.
Usability: Filter, sort, then open individual product pages for detailed specs and samples.
Our calculator includes advanced distortion models: the web's most accurate wide-angle and fisheye FoV values.

What's Your Application?
Surveillance?
Our low F#, high resolution lenses are suitable for 180° dome cameras, low light, and active IR illuminated scenes.
Aerial Robotics?
Our light-weight, miniature lenses are ideal for collision avoidance, long-distance viewing, and end-customer viewing.
Does it Require an IP65+ Lens?
We offer IP65+ variants of many lenses. These are suitable for applications exposed to the environment, without a window.
Surveillance?
Our low F#, high resolution lenses are suitable for 180° dome cameras, low light, and active IR illuminated scenes.
Consumer / AR+VR?
Our high resolution fisheye lenses will let you design 360° cameras and and stereographic lenses are equivalent to "GoPro" lenses.
Video Conferencing?
Our wide-angle, low distortion, high resolution M12 lenses result in optimal object deformation without post-processing.
