M8 Lenses and M7 Lenses for Miniature Camera Modules

M7 and M8 lenses are tiny optics for embedded vision systems that require a small form factor. These lenses have threads which are 7mm or 8mm in diameter.

When an M12 lens is too large for your board, M8 and M7 threaded lenses deliver machine vision optics in a smaller barrel for wearables, medical scopes, and compact robotics. Like M12, these mounts have no fixed flange focal distance, so focus is set by threading depth in the holder. Our holders and adapters let M7 and M8 lenses drop into standard M12 mounts.

Interested in Customizations or Custom Lenses?

We offer several customizations for our lenses. Contact us to discuss feasibility, minimum order quantities, and NRE requirements.

  • Custom filters (Bandpass, Dual Notch, etc.)
  • Customized higher F#
  • Barrel mechanical design adjustments (e.g. active alignment, ingress protection)
  • Hydrophobic coating on front optical surface
  • Preassembly with M12 lens holders to reduce anodization debris and tilt
  • Optical data (MTF, EFL, etc.) with serialized unit-level traceability

We consider full custom all-glass lens designs starting from 5,000pcs.
