Let’s be real: Choosing the right lens for your optical project can feel like trying to find a needle in a haystack. You have a powerful sensor, but finding a lens that actually covers it without vignetting or blurry edges? That’s the challenge.

If you are designing with a 1/2" sensor (like the Sony IMX series or similar high-end chips) and need a wide view, your search officially ends here.

Meet the JSD2915. It isn’t just a piece of glass; it’s the "missing link" that connects your high-performance sensor to the real world. Here is why this lens is the undisputed champion for 1/2" wide-angle applications.

1. The Perfect Fit: 1/2" Image Circle Coverage

Here is the most common mistake in lens selection: pairing a big sensor with a small lens. Most M12 lenses are designed for smaller 1/3" or 1/4" sensors. Put those on a 1/2" sensor, and you get dark corners (vignetting) that ruin the shot.

The JSD2915 is engineered specifically with a 1/2" Image Circle.

The Benefit: It utilizes 100% of your sensor's active area. No dark corners, no wasted pixels—just edge-to-edge brightness. It’s the Cinderella slipper for your large-format sensor.

2. 12MP Resolution: Don't Waste Your Pixels

You wouldn't put cheap tires on a Ferrari, right? So why put a low-res lens on a high-res sensor?
As sensors jump to 4K and beyond, optics need to keep up. The JSD2915 boasts 12MP Resolution capability.

The Benefit: Whether you are building a high-end conference camera, a drone, or a pro-surveillance unit, this lens resolves fine details sharply. It ensures that your "4K" label actually looks like 4K.

3. 150° FOV: Wide, Yet Controlled

Getting a wide shot usually comes with a trade-off: severe distortion.
The JSD2915 hits the sweet spot with a 2.93mm Focal Length that delivers a massive 150° Field of View (FOV).

The Distortion Factor: With distortion controlled at <-14.7%, you get a sweeping panoramic view without the extreme "fishbowl" effect that makes video unusable for AI analytics or professional viewing. It’s wide, but it keeps reality in check.

4. Tiny but Mighty: The M12 Form Factor

Space is always at a premium in modern electronics.
Despite supporting a large 1/2" sensor, the JSD2915 maintains a compact M12 Thread (S-Mount) and a Total Track Length (TTL) of just 12.25mm.

The Benefit: It fits into slim housings, compact camera modules, and sleek IoT devices without adding bulk.

Summary: The Ultimate "Power Couple"

If your project involves a 1/2" sensor, you need a lens that can handle the physical size and the pixel density.

The JSD2915 ticks every box:

✅ Big Sensor Support: 1/2" Image Circle

✅ High Definition: 12MP Resolution

✅ Wide View: 150° FOV

✅ Compact Design: M12 & Short TTL

Stop compromising on image quality. Let the JSD2915 bring your vision to life.
