Frequently asked questions
What sensor size does CIL926 cover?
CIL926 is specified for sensors up to 1/2.5″ and uses a 7.4mm image circle. That gives it room for very wide coverage on small-format sensors.
What is the distortion profile of CIL926?
The lens uses an F-Theta distortion profile and is listed at about -1.4% F-θ. That is low for a 172° field of view and helps keep angular mapping more uniform across the frame.
What resolution is CIL926 designed to support?
CIL926 is rated for 5MP imaging with 2μm pixels. That is the sensor class it was built to support.
Is CIL926 built for outdoor or exposed use?
Yes. The listed mechanical version is IP67, so the lens is meant for applications that need dust and water resistance.
Why does the all-glass, aluminum construction matter?
All-glass optics and an aluminum housing usually hold focus and alignment more consistently across temperature changes than lighter mixed-material designs. That matters when the camera lives outdoors or near heat.
How heavy is CIL926?
The listed weight is 12g. That is heavier than a minimal plastic hybrid, but the mechanical stability is usually worth it.
