Wide-angle inspection coverage
A short 6 mm focal length gives MVL-HF0628M-6MPE the broadest view among the HF-E lenses in the lineup. The fixed C-mount optic covers a Ø 9 mm, 1/1.8-inch image and provides a 73.49° diagonal, 63.11° horizontal and 44.59° vertical field. Both focus and iris are manual, with an F2.8 to F16 aperture range. The stated -0.103% distortion keeps the wide view's geometric deviation quantified for measurement-aware inspection layouts.
This field geometry is useful when a camera must see a large work area from a short mounting distance, such as part-presence checks, tray coverage or compact machine overviews. The minimum object distance is 0.1 m, providing a defined close-range limit for cell layout. A manual iris can be stopped down when more depth coverage is needed, while manual focus fixes the object plane. The Ø 39 mm × 32.53 mm body and 65.8 g mass help determine clearance and support around the lens.
MVL-HF0828M-6MPE narrows the horizontal field to 49.46° with an 8 mm focal length, and MVL-HF1228M-6MPE narrows it further to 34.14° at 12 mm. All three cover Ø 9 mm, use C-mount and offer F2.8 to F16 manual iris control. Choose the 6 mm lens when 63.11° horizontal coverage is needed in limited space; move to the 8 mm or 12 mm neighbour when a tighter view of a smaller region is the better geometric match.

Selection and applications
Wide-area tray inspection. Compact cell overview imaging. Close-range presence checking.
Minimum kit: The minimum setup is a C-mount camera, the MVL-HF0628M-6MPE lens, a data cable for the camera interface, and the power source required by that camera.
Nearby in the range: MVL-HF0828M-6MPE — Prefer it when an 8 mm focal length and 49.46° horizontal field give tighter coverage.; MVL-HF1228M-6MPE — Prefer it for a 12 mm view with a 34.14° horizontal field on Ø 9 mm images..

FAQ
What field of view does the 6 mm HF-E lens provide?
For the stated Ø 9 mm image, the field is 73.49° diagonally, 63.11° horizontally and 44.59° vertically. These angles make MVL-HF0628M-6MPE the widest HF-E option in the lineup and should be used with the actual working distance to determine scene coverage.
How close can an object be placed in front of MVL-HF0628M-6MPE?
The minimum object distance is 0.1 m. That limit is important when arranging a compact inspection station because the required field must be achieved without moving the object inside the stated focusing range. Focus is adjusted manually at the selected distance.
Which sensor format and mechanical mount does this optic support?
The image size is Ø 9 mm, identified as 1/1.8 inch, and the camera connection is C-mount with a 17.526 mm flange-back length. The lens body is Ø 39 mm × 32.53 mm, so both optical coverage and mechanical clearance should be checked in the camera assembly.
What adjustment and filter provisions are built into the lens?
Focus and iris are manual. Aperture runs from F2.8 to F16, and the front filter thread is M37.5 × P0.5. These controls allow focus, exposure and depth behavior to be set mechanically, with a threaded optical filter added when the application requires one.
When is the 6 mm model preferable to the 8 mm or 12 mm HF-E lens?
Choose 6 mm for the 63.11° horizontal field. MVL-HF0828M-6MPE provides 49.46° at 8 mm, while MVL-HF1228M-6MPE provides 34.14° at 12 mm. All share C-mount, Ø 9 mm coverage and an F2.8 to F16 manual iris.
