EDATEC 5MP Ultra Wide Angle Lens, 1.5mm M12 Mount

This lens is designed for 5-megapixel camera modules with a standard M12 (also known as S-mount) threaded lens holder. It is commonly used with Raspberry Pi Camera Modules (when paired with an M12 adapter), OpenMV Cam M12 versions, and other industrial vision sensors that utilize the M12 mounting standard. Ensure your camera sensor supports a 1.5mm focal length to avoid vignetting.

To install, first remove any existing lens from your camera module's M12 thread. Carefully screw the EDATEC 1.5mm lens into the module's threaded barrel by turning it clockwise. Do not overtighten; finger-tight is sufficient. After installation, you may need to adjust the lens focus by rotating it slightly while viewing a test image to achieve sharpness, then secure the focus lock if your module has one.

While the exact diagonal field of view depends on the specific camera sensor's size, a 1.5mm focal length on common 1/4" or 1/2.7" sensors typically provides an extremely wide angle exceeding 120 degrees. This makes it suitable for applications like room monitoring or panoramic capture where you need to see as much of the environment as possible from a single fixed position.

Yes, but it requires an additional C-mount to M12 adapter. The Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera uses a C-mount thread. You would first attach a C-to-M12 step-down ring adapter to the camera, then screw this 1.5mm M12 lens into the adapter. Note that using such a wide-angle lens on a larger sensor may introduce strong vignetting (dark corners), so sensor coverage should be verified.
