Arducam LK002 Low Distortion M12 Lens Kit for OV2640/OV5647

The LK002 lens kit is specifically optimized for 1/4-inch image sensors, including popular models like the OV2640 and OV5647 CMOS sensors commonly found on Arducam camera boards for Arduino and Raspberry Pi. The lenses are designed to cover the sensor's active area with minimal vignetting or distortion, ensuring optimal image quality across the provided field-of-view range. Always verify your specific camera module's sensor size matches the 1/4-inch specification for best results.

First, select the appropriate M12 lens holder (18mm or 20mm hole spacing) that matches your camera board's mounting pattern. Screw the chosen lens into the holder from the front, then align the holder's holes with the board's standoffs and secure it with the provided screws from the rear. To swap lenses, simply unscrew the current lens from the holder and replace it with another from the kit, using the labeled caps to protect unused optics. Ensure the lens is threaded fully but not over-tightened to avoid damaging the mount.

The 45-degree lens provides a narrower, more telephoto field of view, ideal for capturing detailed images of subjects at a distance or for applications like machine vision inspection where a specific area must be magnified. The 90-degree lens offers a wide-angle perspective, capturing a broader scene which is useful for surveillance, room monitoring, or applications requiring contextual awareness. The intermediate lenses (60°, 75°, 82°) allow fine-tuning the scene composition to balance detail and coverage for your specific embedded vision project requirements.
