Sony IMX250MZR · 5.0135MP 2/3" global-shutter CMOS image sensor
IMX250MZR Sensor Specifications & Compatible M12 and C-Mount Lenses
The Sony IMX250MZR has 2448x2048 pixels at 3.45µm pitch. The MZR variant is monochrome, with an on-chip polarization filter array. Individual polarization channels sample different pixels; the full array size is not the independent resolution of each polarization direction. Dimensions are calculated from the Sony recommended recording window: 8.4456x7.0656mm, with a diagonal of 11.011mm.

Lens selection for the IMX250MZR
A calculated lens table is not available for this sensor. Confirm the sensor's active readout area with the manufacturer, then contact our engineers for a lens match.
How to choose a lens for the IMX250MZR
Start from the field of view and working distance your application needs. Confirm that the lens image circle covers the active sensor diagonal and that the mount provides the required focus travel and rear clearance. A lens megapixel rating alone does not establish resolution on this sensor. Compare measured MTF at the spatial frequencies your task needs, at the intended aperture, wavelength, distance, and field position, accounting for the 3.45 µm pixel pitch. Estimate framing with the Commonlands field of view calculator.
