HF-12M Series

"4D High Resolution" lenses

Compatible with 2/3" to 1" (max) image sensor cameras.

The FUJINON HF-12M series is a low distortion 12 megapixel lens with ultra-high resolution performance of 2.1μm pixel pitch, compatible with “IMX536 (2/3", 8 megapixel, 2.74μm pixel pitch)”. All models are “4DHR”, shock and vibration resistant.

Main features

Minimizing degradation of resolution even when the shooting distance or aperture is changed

General machine vision camera lenses exhibit problematic degradation of resolution when the shooting distance or aperture is changed. FUJINON HF-12M features high performance "4D HR" to minimize such degradation.
It maintains a highly consistent image sharpness from the center to the edges, while mitigating degradation of resolution caused by changes in the shooting distance or aperture. This enables consistent delivery of high-resolution images under a wide variety of installation and shooting conditions.

Super high resolution 2.1 μm

When the iris (aperture) is set at the orange F4 marker on the lens barrel, the HF-12M series delivers the resolving power greater than 2.1µm pixel pitch on a 2/3-inch sensor (equivalent to 12 megapixels)

Low distortion

High-precision aspherical glass molded lens enables downsizing and low distortion.

High operability / Unified design

With a focus on ease of installation and high reliability, all five models have an outer diameter of 33 mm, despite being ultra-high resolution lenses. This allows for flexible installation even in locations with limited space. Furthermore, the lens barrel has three fixed holes for the iris and focus, allowing you to choose the most suitable fixed hole according to the installation conditions. The lens length is almost the same (48 to 53 mm) across the five models, and the focus and iris operability is also the same across models.

Headless screw

The lens barrel has three fixed holes each for the iris (aperture) and focus, so users can choose the best fixed hole to suit their installation conditions. By replacing the screw with the included headless screw, the protruding screw can be eliminated.

High reliability / Traceability

The optical performance of each lens is fully managed at the factory. As a sign of this management, a 2D code is printed on the lens barrel label.

Compact design

In the pursuit of easy installation and high reliability, the diameter of all five models is only 33mm despite being high-resolution lenses. This allows installation flexibility even in manufacturing facilities with space constraints. FUJINON HF-12M series also comes with three locking holes each for the iris and focus. They are located on the lens barrels, allowing you to select the optimum holes for your needs.
