Compact wide-view inspection optics
A 12 mm focal length on an 11.2 mm, 2/3-inch image circle gives MVL-MF1228M-10MPE view angles of 47.66° diagonal, 37.47° horizontal and 31.67° vertical. The C-mount lens combines F2.8 to F16 manual aperture control with manual focus and -0.19% distortion. At 29 mm diameter by 39.9 mm long and 59 g, it suits compact camera heads.
The 0.1 m minimum object distance supports close overview inspection of assemblies, code regions and part presence where a broad scene must fit into a short camera envelope. The 17.526 mm flange back length defines C-mount placement, and the M25.5 × P0.5 filter thread permits a front optical element to be included in the design. Operation is listed from -10 to 50 °C.
MVL-MF2528M-10MPE keeps the 11.2 mm format and F2.8 to F16 range but narrows to a 22.81° diagonal view at 25 mm and starts at 0.15 m. MVL-MF0824M-5MPE uses 8 mm, opens to F2.4 and widens to 70.6° diagonal on an 11 mm format. Choose the 12 mm model for the intermediate wide view, 0.1 m close focus and especially small 59 g package.

Selection and applications
Close assembly overview. Compact part-presence imaging. Wide-view code-region capture.
Minimum kit: Use a C-mount camera with a 17.526 mm flange back length, install the lens, and set its manual focus and F2.8 to F16 iris at or beyond 0.1 m.
Nearby in the range: MVL-MF2528M-10MPE — Prefer it when a 25 mm focal length and 22.81° diagonal view provide tighter framing.; MVL-MF0824M-5MPE — Prefer it for an 8 mm focal length, F2.4 aperture and 70.6° diagonal view..

FAQ
What scene angles are covered on the 2/3-inch image format?
The 11.2 mm image circle yields 47.66° diagonal, 37.47° horizontal and 31.67° vertical view angles. Those values characterize an overview lens rather than the narrow observation produced by longer focal lengths.
Can this C-mount lens focus at short object distances?
Minimum object distance is 0.1 m. Focus is manual, so the lens can be commissioned for close assembly or presence inspection, then held at the selected distance within the listed -10 to 50 °C operating range.
What camera geometry and filter thread need to be matched?
The camera interface is C-mount with a 17.526 mm flange back length and an 11.2 mm image circle. The front accepts M25.5 × P0.5 filters, a separate mechanical requirement from the camera attachment.
How compact is MVL-MF1228M-10MPE in a camera head?
The lens measures 29 mm in diameter by 39.9 mm long and weighs 59 g. These dimensions suit a small C-mount assembly, but clearance is still needed for manual access to the focus and F2.8 to F16 iris controls.
When is the 25 mm model a better selection than this 12 mm lens?
MVL-MF2528M-10MPE is preferable when a narrower 22.81° diagonal view is required; it uses 25 mm focal length and a 0.15 m minimum distance. This 12 mm model gives 47.66° and focuses from 0.1 m.
