IMX249 sensor specifications and
compatible M12 lenses & C-mount lenses
IMX249 is a Sony 1/1.2-inch global-shutter CMOS image sensor from the Pregius family, a cost-efficient choice for global-shutter machine vision. It runs 1936x1216 (2.4 MP) at 30 fps with 5.86um pixels on a 13.40mm diagonal over LVDS in color or mono. Given the large image circle, Commonlands matches M12 Lenses (and C-Mount Lenses) that cover it and publishes the calculated horizontal, vertical, and diagonal field of view.

Compatible Commonlands lenses for the IMX249. Field of View calculated with Distortion.
Each field of view below is calculated for the IMX249 active area (11.34 × 7.13 mm) using our MCP server and Field of view calculator. The rectilinear formula FoV = 2 × arctan(dimension ÷ (2 × focal length)) is incorrect for many lenses as it doesn't include distortion. Coverage shows whether the lens image circle covers the 13.4 mm sensor diagonal. Fisheye and f-theta lenses do not follow the rectilinear formula, so their entries link to the product page for the mapped field of view.
| Commonlands Lens | Focal Length | Mount | F# | Horizontal FoV | Vertical FoV | Diagonal FoV | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4.9mm C-Mount Lens (CIL505) | 4.9 mm | C-mount | f/2.2 | 98.3° | 72.1° | 107.6° | Covers |
| 8.5mm C-Mount Lens (CIL508) | 8.5 mm | C-mount | f/2.4 | 67.4° | 45.5° | 76.5° | Covers |
| 12mm C-Mount Lens (CIL552) | 12 mm | C-mount | f/2.8 | 50.6° | 33.1° | 58.4° | Covers |
| 16mm C-Mount Lens (CIL553) | 16 mm | C-mount | f/2.8 | 39° | 25.1° | 45.4° | Covers |
| 25mm C-Mount Lens (CIL554) | 25 mm | C-mount | f/2.6 | 25.6° | 16.2° | 30° | Covers |
| 35mm C-Mount Lens (CIL555) | 35 mm | C-mount | f/2.6 | 18.4° | 11.6° | 21.7° | Covers |
| 50mm C-Mount Lens (CIL556) | 50 mm | C-mount | f/2.8 | 12.9° | 8.2° | 15.3° | Covers |
| 75mm C-Mount Lens (CIL557) | 75 mm | C-mount | f/3 | 8.6° | 5.4° | 10.2° | Covers |
Coverage key: covers = lens image circle ≥ sensor diagonal; crops = image circle smaller than the diagonal (expect vignetting at the corners); verify = image circle not published for this lens — ask our engineers to confirm coverage.
How to choose a lens for the IMX249
Start from the field of view your application needs, then read across to the focal length that produces it on the IMX249. Confirm the lens image circle covers the 13.4 mm diagonal so the corners are not cropped, and check the lens resolution is rated for 2.4 MP or higher so it resolves the 5.86 µm pixels. For exact working-distance and object-size numbers, run the figures through the Commonlands field of view calculator.
