This 8mm F1.0 M16 industrial lens is designed for 1/1.8″ image sensors and delivers 8-megapixel resolution with a fast F1.0 aperture. Its 66.5° diagonal field of view, 0.2m minimum object distance, and compact M16 × 0.5 mount make it suitable for industrial imaging systems requiring high resolution and strong low-light performance.
For additional guidance on matching lens specifications with sensor size, see the Sensor Guide and Lens Selection Guide.
The combination of an F1.0 aperture and 8MP optical performance makes this lens particularly useful where image brightness and resolution need to be maintained simultaneously. For applications involving focal-length and field-of-view matching, the Focal Length Calculator can help engineers evaluate the required lens configuration.
The 8mm focal length provides a controlled viewing range while the F1.0 aperture allows more light to reach the image sensor. This makes the lens suitable for industrial inspection systems operating under limited illumination or where short exposure times are required.
The 8MP optical format supports detailed imaging of components, assemblies, surfaces, and other objects where image information needs to be captured clearly for downstream analysis.
For machine vision systems using 1/1.8″ sensors, this lens provides an 8mm fixed focal length and 8MP resolution. The fixed iris and fixed focal configuration provide a stable optical setup for automated imaging equipment where the camera and lens position remain constant.
Engineers can use this configuration for inspection stations, automated visual checks, robotic imaging systems, and compact machine vision equipment.
One of the key characteristics of this lens is its F1.0 aperture. Compared with slower lenses, the large aperture is designed to provide stronger light-gathering capability, which can be valuable in dim industrial environments or systems requiring faster shutter speeds.
Because the lens is supplied without IRCF, it can also be integrated into optical systems where the required filter configuration is handled separately according to the camera and imaging application.
Designed for industrial machine vision and low-light imaging applications.

Q: What sensor size is this 8mm M16 lens designed for?
A: This lens is designed for 1/1.8″ image sensors and supports an 8-megapixel imaging format.
Q: What is the focal length of this industrial lens?
A: The focal length is 8.0mm. It is a fixed focal length lens rather than a zoom lens.
Q: What is the aperture of this M16 lens?
A: The lens has a fixed F1.0 aperture, providing strong light-gathering capability for industrial imaging and low-light applications.
Q: What field of view does the lens provide?
A: With the specified 1/1.8″ sensor configuration, the lens provides 66.5° diagonal, 57° horizontal, and 30.5° vertical FOV.
Q: Is this an M12 or C-Mount lens?
A: No. This model uses an M16 × 0.5 mount, so it belongs to TOWIN’s other-mount lens range rather than the M12, C-Mount, or CS-Mount categories.
Q: What is the minimum object distance of this lens?
A: The specified M.O.D. is 0.2m, making it suitable for relatively close-range industrial imaging setups.
Q: Does this lens include an IRCF?
A: No. The specified structure is Without IRCF. If an IR cut filter is required, the filter configuration can be considered separately according to the camera system.
Q: Is this a low-distortion lens?
A: No. The specified TV distortion is < -19%, so this model should not be classified as a low-distortion lens. Applications requiring controlled geometric distortion should instead be evaluated using TOWIN’s Low Distortion Lens range.
When selecting an industrial lens, engineers should consider sensor format, focal length, field of view, aperture, working distance, and required image resolution together rather than selecting the focal length alone. TOWIN’s Optical Design Knowledge Center provides additional information for evaluating lens performance and optical configuration.
For applications where field of view needs to be calculated from sensor dimensions and working distance, the FOV Calculator can be used during preliminary lens selection.
