Mid-range KF imaging geometry
Mid-range framing on a large image circle is the role of MVL-KF1628M-12MP. The fixed 16 mm C-mount lens covers Ø 17.6 mm and provides 54.8° diagonal, 44.9° horizontal and 33.9° vertical angles. Its focus and iris are manual, and aperture spans F2.8 to F16. Optical distortion is stated at –1.30%, supplying a concrete input for applications that use features across the image rather than only at its center.
The 44.9° horizontal field supports individual-component inspection, assembly alignment and dimensional views that need less surrounding area than a 12 mm lens. With a minimum object distance of 0.1 m, the optic can work in close layouts if the resulting field matches the target. Manual focus and iris are set during commissioning for a stable object plane and illumination. The Ø 38.6 mm × 48.56 mm body, 146 g mass and M35.5 × 0.5 filter thread define its mechanical integration.
MVL-KF1228M-12MP widens horizontal coverage to 59.8° at 12 mm, while MVL-KF2528M-12MP narrows it to 29.6° at 25 mm. Both retain C-mount, Ø 17.6 mm coverage and manual F2.8 to F16 control; the 12 mm neighbour shares the 0.1 m minimum distance, and the 25 mm model moves to 0.15 m. Select 16 mm for the intermediate 44.9° field, 12 mm for more context, or 25 mm to concentrate sampling on a smaller region.

Selection and applications
Individual-component inspection. Assembly alignment imaging. Large-format dimensional views.
Minimum kit: The minimum chain includes a C-mount camera, the MVL-KF1628M-12MP lens, a data cable suited to the camera interface, and the power supply required by the camera.
Nearby in the range: MVL-KF1228M-12MP — Prefer it for a broader 59.8° horizontal field at a 12 mm focal length.; MVL-KF2528M-12MP — Prefer it when 25 mm and a 29.6° horizontal field isolate a smaller region..

FAQ
What angular coverage does the 16 mm KF lens deliver?
On its Ø 17.6 mm image, coverage is 54.8° diagonal, 44.9° horizontal and 33.9° vertical. That places this model between the broader 12 mm and tighter 25 mm KF lenses for a comparable camera format.
How does the 0.1 m minimum distance affect cell layout?
Objects can be focused from the stated 0.1 m minimum distance. The actual scene size still follows the 16 mm focal length and field angle, so the camera position should be chosen from both the focus limit and the required 44.9° horizontal coverage.
What camera mount, image circle and flange distance apply?
The lens uses C-mount, covers a Ø 17.6 mm image and has a 17.526 mm flange-back length. These are the core camera-side matching values. Its physical envelope is Ø 38.6 mm × 48.56 mm with a mass of 146 g.
Which aperture, focus and filter adjustments are available?
Iris and focus are manual. Aperture ranges from F2.8 to F16, and the front filter thread is M35.5 × 0.5. The imaging station therefore uses mechanically established focus and depth settings, with provision for a matching threaded filter.
How should 16 mm be compared with the 12 mm and 25 mm KF choices?
The 16 mm lens gives a 44.9° horizontal field. The 12 mm model expands that to 59.8°, while the 25 mm model reduces it to 29.6°. All cover Ø 17.6 mm through C-mount and have manual F2.8 to F16 irises.
