Arducam LN015 M12 Mount 3.2mm Low Distortion Camera Lens

No, it is not directly compatible. The official Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2 uses a fixed lens assembly. To use this LN015 lens, you must first install an M12 lens holder adapter (like the Arducam B0031 or B0103) onto a compatible camera sensor board that supports lens swapping, which replaces the original module's lens.

A distortion rating of less than 1% means the lens introduces minimal geometric warping, such as barrel or pincushion distortion. This is critical for computer vision applications like measurement, object positioning, and augmented reality, where image accuracy directly impacts the reliability and precision of your algorithms and data output.

Yes, the 650nm IR-cut filter blocks infrared light to produce accurate colors in visible light conditions. This means it will reduce performance for dedicated night vision setups that rely on IR illumination. For pure monochrome IR imaging, you would need a lens without an IR-cut filter or one where the filter can be physically removed.

Installation requires an M12 lens holder mounted to your camera sensor board. You will also typically need a small spanner wrench or lens adjustment tool to screw the lens into the holder securely and to focus it. Ensure the sensor board (e.g., an Arducam IMX219 module) is compatible with interchangeable M12 lenses before purchase.
