M12 and S-mount lenses for industrial cameras

We offer M12 lenses / S-mount lenses designed for industrial cameras at competitive prices. All our M12 lenses support relatively large image sensors. The supported image sensor size varies between 1/2.5" to 2/3".

Our wide portfolio of M12 lenses start at a focal length of 1.85mm, offering a very wide angle solution for your application.

Do you need help selecting the most suitable M12/S-mount lens? Or if you cannot find an M12 lens in our webshop, please contact us. We can supply many other M12 lenses and have customized many lenses for specific applications of our customers.

How to use a M12 lens with an industrial C-mount camera?

M12 lenses are not directly compatible with C-mount cameras. M12 lenses are designed for board-level cameras with an M12 mount, while C-mount lenses are designed for industrial cameras. There are two key differences:

Mount diameter: An adapter can address the difference in mount diameter between M12 and C-mount.
Flange focal distance (FFD): C-mount lenses have a fixed FFD (distance between the lens mount and the image sensor). M12 lenses, however, have a variable FFD that changes with focus setting. This variation can cause M12 lenses to hit the protective glass on C-mount cameras, preventing proper focus.

To address this incompatibility, VA Imaging has invented a special C-mount to M12 mount adapter to easily use M12 lenses on a C-mount camera. This adapter is compatible with all M12 lenses VA Imaging sells. Additionally, this adapter can also be mounted on a CS-mount camera, making it a very universal adapter.

Cameras are a great value for money

The cameras are a great value for money and the lenses also. The software is outdated and needs refreshing. It took me considerable amount of time to discover how to access the camera features.
