Kowa XC Series Overview

The LM8XC C-Mount 8mm f/2.8-22 Fixed Aspherical Lens from Kowa is designed for use with 4/3" sensors and has a focal length of 8mm. This aspherical lens reduces distortion and helps in producing high-quality images. It maintains megapixel resolution throughout the entire image even if the iris is fully open. In addition, Kowa's wide-band multi-coating reduces glare and refraction.

  • Floating mechanism design eliminates optical aberrations from close distance to infinity
  • Wide-band multi-coating reduces glare and refraction
