Select An M12 Lens (S-Mount Lens) For Your Camera
M12 Lenses / S-Mount Lenses
An M12 lens is a miniature lens with 12mm diameter threads. These are also known as S-Mount Lenses or Board Mount Lenses.
M12 lenses are imaging optics used in robotics, surveillance cameras, video conferencing, and internet of things cameras.
Our M12 lenses include fisheye, wide-angle, no-distortion, and telephoto types. These lenses range from 0.8mm to 50mm focal length and 10° to 230° field of view. We offer numerous M12 lenses that are ingress-protected and/or IR Corrected.
These miniature lenses can be used with embedded vision cameras from Allied Vision, Basler, D3 Engineering, e-con Systems, FLIR, iDS, The Imaging Source, Leopard Imaging, Lucid Vision, OpenMV, Vision Components, and more.
S-mount lenses can also be used with many CS-Mount, C-Mount, and CCTV cameras when combined with adapters.
Our lenses range from 1mm to 50mm EFL and 5° to 230°. The types of M12 lenses include fisheye, wide-angle, no-distortion, and telephoto. Each of our lenses is available with, or without, an IR cut off filter.
These can be used with embedded vision systems and imaging devices from Allied Vision, e-con Systems, FLIR, iDS, Basler, The Imaging Source, Lucid Vision, and more.

Interested in Customizations?
We offer several customizations for our lenses. Contact us to discuss feasibility, minimum order quantities, and NRE requirements.
- Custom filters (Bandpass, Dual Notch, etc..)
- Customized higher F#
- Barrel mechanical design adjustments (e.g. active alignment, ingress protection)
- Hydrophobic coating on front optical surface
- Preassembly with M12 lens holders to reduce anodization debris and tilt
- Optical data (MTF, EFL, etc..) with serialized unit-level traceability
We also consider full custom lens designs starting from 5,000pcs.
We only Provide High Quality Lenses.

Know that you Need a Lens, but Still Trying to Determine Your Camera Requirements?
Use our free web-based AoV Calculator to determine your system's Field of View Requirements. Then, use the M12 Lens calculator to match your requirements with the available lenses. Our Depth of Field Calculator also provides the hyperfocal distance and depth of field for every sensor and lens combination.
We also have a couple of other calculators that many engineers find interesting.
