HIKROBOT MVL-AF5028M-M42A — Lenses
50 mm, F2.8-F16, ⌀29 mm image circle, M42 mount

The MVL-AF5028M-M42A has the longest focal length in this family at 50 mm, and it is engineered as a high-precision optic with a Φ29 mm image circle for 4K, 7 μm line scan cameras. Its long focal length gives a narrow angle of view that lets the camera sit farther from the target, while still preserving superior resolution even wide open at F2.8. Consistent picture sharpness and low distortion ensure that fine detail carries through undistorted even when imaging from a greater distance.

Where it is used
The 50 mm focal length suits applications where the camera must be positioned farther from the target – due to moving equipment, safety clearances, or restricted access on the line – while still needing to resolve small details, such as reading labels from a distance or zoomed-in inspection of small components. Its high resolution is an advantage in these narrow-angle, detail-focused inspection tasks.
Suitability depends on working distance, field of view, target characteristics and positioning. Selection is assessed on a per-project basis.
