ISX028 sensor specifications and
compatible M12 lenses & C-mount lenses
ISX028 is a Sony 1/1.7" rolling-shutter CMOS image sensor for color capture. It delivers 3840x2160 (8.3 MP) on 2.1 um pixels at 30 fps over MIPI CSI-2, with a 9.25 mm diagonal. Commonlands matches M12 Lenses to the ISX028 image circle and provides the calculated horizontal, vertical, and diagonal field of view for each option.

Compatible Commonlands lenses for the ISX028. Field of View calculated with Distortion.
Each field of view below is calculated for the ISX028 active area (8.06 × 4.54 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 9.25 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.
Engineering picks for the ISX028
- Best ~30° HFoV: Telephoto 14.2mm M12 Lens (CIL142) (14.2 mm, f/2.6). Why: the closest covering option to 30° horizontal, chosen for tight inspection framing and long read ranges. Field of view on the ISX028: 32° H × 18° V (36° diagonal); image circle covers the full sensor; verified 2026-07-02.
- Best ~60° HFoV: 8mm C-Mount Lens (CIL521) (8 mm, f/1.5). Why: the closest covering option to 60° horizontal, chosen for general-purpose machine-vision framing. Field of view on the ISX028: 53° H × 32° V (60° diagonal); image circle covers the full sensor; verified 2026-07-02.
- Best ~120° HFoV: Wide-Angle 3.9mm M12 Lens (CIL339) (3.9 mm, f/1.6). Why: the closest covering option to 120° horizontal, chosen for wide navigation and room-scale coverage. Field of view on the ISX028: 121° H × 67° V (139° diagonal); image circle covers the full sensor; verified 2026-07-02.
- Lowest distortion: Low Distortion 4.2mm M12 Lens (CIL042) (4.2 mm, f/1.9). Why: measured -1% TV distortion, the flattest image among covering lenses. Field of view on the ISX028: 88° H × 57° V (96° diagonal); image circle covers the full sensor; verified 2026-07-02.
- Compact low-cost pick: Telephoto 16mm M12 Lens (CIL160) (16 mm, f/1.9). Why: the lowest-priced covering M12 barrel ($15). Field of view on the ISX028: 28° H × 16° V (32° diagonal); image circle covers the full sensor; verified 2026-07-02.

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 ISX028
Start from the field of view your application needs, then read across to the focal length that produces it on the ISX028. Confirm the lens image circle covers the 9.25 mm diagonal so the corners are not cropped, and check the lens resolution is rated for 8.3 MP or higher so it resolves the 2.1 µm pixels. For exact working-distance and object-size numbers, run the figures through the Commonlands field of view calculator.
