Frequently asked questions
What sensors are compatible with the CIL122 12mm M12 lens?
The CIL122 supports 1/1.7 inch sensors resolving 8-12MP at 1.85μm pixel pitch, including the OS08A10 and AR0821. Its 9.3mm image circle covers those formats with margin.
Does the CIL122 support IR and visible light simultaneously?
Yes. The CIL122 is IR corrected, so visible light and 850-940nm NIR light focus to nearly the same plane. That makes it a good fit for RGBIR sensors and day-night systems that need both bands to stay sharp.
How much distortion does the CIL122 have?
The CIL122 keeps distortion under 2% TV at the 9.2mm image circle. That is low enough for most machine vision work, and many systems can use it without software correction.
What cameras work with the CIL122 12mm M12 lens?
The CIL122 works with e-con Systems S-mount boards, Allied Vision Alvium, FLIR Blackfly S board-level cameras, iDS uEye XLS, The Imaging Source M12, and Basler Dart cameras. The Commonlands CLA024 lens holder is the standard mounting option.
What is the CIL122 image circle and resolution?
The CIL122 produces a 9.3mm image circle and resolves 8-12MP at 1.85μm pixel pitch. That combination fits modern 1/1.7 inch sensors well. You can estimate working-distance tradeoffs at depth of field calculator
Does the CIL122 12mm lens ship same day from the US?
Yes. Orders placed before 12 PM PST ship the same day from our San Diego warehouse. Contact us if you need volume pricing or MTF test data.
