HIKROBOT MVL-KF0818M-12MP — Lenses
8 mm, F1.8–F11, 1″, C-mount

The MVL-KF0818M-12MP is the shortest-focal-length model in HIKROBOT’s 1.1″ 12 MP FA Lens (KF) family. At 8 mm it delivers a very wide angle of view suited to ultra-short working-distance setups where the camera sits right next to the target. Its adjustable F1.8–F11 iris gives room to trade off depth of field against light throughput as conditions change.

Key features
- Provides high resolution and consistency of image clarity
- Provides low distortion and a high peripheral brightness ratio
- Provides a maximum image size of Φ16 mm
- Supports an ultra-short working distance and maintains excellent optical characteristics at different object distances
Where it is used
The ultra-short working distance it supports is an advantage wherever the camera must fit inside a compact enclosure or a tight station. It suits close-range, wide-angle inspection of small electronic components, tunnel-type inspection stations, and compact machine-vision modules where space around the camera is limited.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
Is this lens right for your application?
Let us determine focal length, sensor size, working distance and field of view together, based on your application. FST is HIKROBOT’s distributor in Türkiye; product selection, commissioning and after-sales support all come from one source.
The data herein may vary based on the environment, objects and other various factors, and HIKROBOT shall not assume the consequences arising therefrom.
