OmniVision OS08A10 · 8.3MP 1/1.8" rolling-shutter CMOS image sensor
OS08A10 Sensor Specifications & Compatible M12 and C-Mount Lenses
OS08A10 is an OmniVision 1/1.8-inch rolling-shutter CMOS image sensor from the PureCel family, a common choice for 4K security and broadcast cameras. It outputs 3840x2160 (8.3MP) UHD on 2um pixels at 60 fps over MIPI CSI-2 or LVDS. Commonlands matches M12 Lenses and C-Mount Lenses to its 8.81mm image circle and supplies the calculated horizontal, vertical, and diagonal field of view.

Compatible Commonlands Lenses for the OS08A10 with Calculated Field of View
Each field of view below is calculated for the OS08A10 active area (7.68 × 4.32 mm) from Commonlands’ per-lens field-of-view data, which reflects each lens’s real distortion rather than a focal-length-only estimate. Alongside the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal field of view, each row lists the lens aperture (F#), distortion, ingress protection, total track length (TTL), and rated resolution, so you can shortlist on optics and mechanics in one pass. Coverage shows whether the lens image circle covers the 8.81 mm sensor diagonal. Only lenses that cover the full diagonal are listed. Run exact working-distance and object-size numbers through the field of view calculator.
Engineering picks for the OS08A10
- 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 OS08A10: 30° H × 17° V (34° diagonal). The image circle covers the full sensor (verified 2026-07-02).
- Best ~60° HFoV: Low Distortion 6.2mm M12 Lens (CIL062) (6.2 mm, f/2.8). Why: the closest covering option to 60° horizontal, chosen for general-purpose machine-vision framing. Field of view on the OS08A10: 64° H × 38° V (71° diagonal). The 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.

Covers in the table means the lens image circle is at least as large as the 8.81 mm sensor diagonal, so the corners are not cropped. Need a focal length or coverage that is not listed here? Ask our engineers to confirm a match.
How to choose a lens for the OS08A10
Start from the field of view your application needs, then read across to the focal length that produces it on the OS08A10. Confirm the lens image circle covers the 8.81 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 2.0 µm pixels. For exact working-distance and object-size numbers, run the figures through the Commonlands field of view calculator.
