Field geometry and nearby focal lengths
Moderately wide 8 mm coverage defines MVL-HF0828M-6MPE within the HF-E group. The fixed-focal-length C-mount lens is rated for 6 MP imaging over a Ø 9 mm, 1/1.8-inch image. Its view measures 58.5° diagonally, 49.46° horizontally and 34.19° vertically. Focus and iris are manual, and the F2.8 to F16 aperture range allows the installed system to balance light collection against depth of field at commissioning.
A 49.46° horizontal angle suits part localization, label inspection and general machine views that need more subject detail than a 6 mm lens while retaining broad coverage. The lens focuses from a 0.1 m minimum object distance, so it can be used in compact cells when that spacing is respected. Its 0.049% distortion is small and explicitly characterized, useful when straight features or measured positions extend toward the image edge. The Ø 33 mm × 34.5 mm body weighs 63.3 g.
MVL-HF0628M-6MPE expands the horizontal angle to 63.11° at 6 mm; MVL-HF1228M-6MPE reduces it to 34.14° at 12 mm. MVL-HF0824M-10MP retains an 8 mm focal length and nearly the same 49.56° horizontal view, but carries a 10 MP rating and opens to F2.4 rather than F2.8. Select this HF-E model for the stated 6 MP class and F2.8 optics, or the HF-P neighbour when its 10 MP designation and F2.4 aperture align with the camera.

Selection and applications
General part localization. Broad label inspection. Compact-machine overview imaging.
Minimum kit: A minimum system combines a C-mount camera with the MVL-HF0828M-6MPE lens, the camera's interface cable, and the power arrangement stated for the selected camera.
Nearby in the range: MVL-HF0628M-6MPE — Prefer it when the wider 63.11° horizontal field of a 6 mm lens is required.; MVL-HF0824M-10MP — Prefer it for an 8 mm, 10 MP optical rating and an F2.4 maximum aperture..

FAQ
Which angular coverage is specified for MVL-HF0828M-6MPE?
The lens provides 58.5° diagonal, 49.46° horizontal and 34.19° vertical coverage for its stated image format. With an 8 mm focal length, it sits between the wider 6 mm HF-E view and the narrower 12 mm HF-E view.
Can the focus or iris be controlled from the camera?
Both controls are manual rather than camera-driven. Focus is set for the chosen object plane, and the iris can be adjusted from F2.8 to F16. This makes commissioning a mechanical process: set focus and aperture, then secure the geometry used by the inspection.
What camera-side format should be matched to this 8 mm lens?
MVL-HF0828M-6MPE uses C-mount, a 17.526 mm flange-back length and a Ø 9 mm image size identified as 1/1.8 inch. It is classified as a 6 MP FA lens, so camera resolution and image circle should be selected around those stated optical limits.
What are the close-focus, filter and temperature limits?
Minimum object distance is 0.1 m, the filter thread is M30.5 × P0.5, and the operating temperature range is –10 °C to 50 °C. The assembly measures Ø 33 mm × 34.5 mm and weighs 63.3 g, which defines the mounting load and clearance.
How does this lens differ from the 8 mm HF-P version?
Both cover a Ø 9 mm image through C-mount at 8 mm. This HF-E model is rated for 6 MP, opens to F2.8 and lists 0.049% distortion; MVL-HF0824M-10MP is rated for 10 MP, opens to F2.4 and lists -0.67% distortion.
