Frequently asked questions
What is the longest focal length M12 lens Commonlands offers?
Commonlands offers M12 lenses up to 75mm focal length. The CIL051 at 50mm and the CIL076 at 75mm are the two longest telephoto S-mount options in the catalog.
Can the CIL051 50mm M12 lens read license plates at long range?
Yes. The 50mm focal length can resolve license plates at 20 to 50 meters, depending on plate size and camera sensor resolution. Low distortion also means the image needs minimal geometric correction for character recognition.
What is the difference between M12A and M12C (IP67) variants of the 50mm lens?
M12A is the standard non-sealed mount. M12C adds IP67 ingress protection with a sealed aluminum barrel for outdoor and marine installations exposed to rain, dust, and humidity.
What sensors are compatible with the CIL051 50mm S-mount lens?
The CIL051 covers 2/3 inch format sensors with an 8.8mm image circle. Compatible sensors include the Sony IMX250, Sony IMX392, and similar global and rolling shutter sensors up to 12MP with 1.85 micron pixel pitch.
Does the CIL051 50mm M12 lens ship from the United States?
Yes. Commonlands ships all in-stock lenses same day from San Diego, California for orders placed before 12 PM PST.
Is volume pricing available for 50mm M12 telephoto lenses?
