Frequently asked questions

What sensors does the CIL100 100mm M12 lens support?

The CIL100 covers up to 1/1.7 inch or 2/3 inch sensors and resolves 12MP at 1.85μm pixel pitch. Its listed image circle is 11mm.

What part numbers are available for the CIL100?

The page lists CIL100-F3.6-M12A650 with a 650nm IRC filter and CIL100-F3.6-M12ANIR without a filter. Both are F/3.6 M12A variants.

What is the field of view of the CIL100?

The CIL100 gives a 5° field of view at the 8.8mm image height. It is a narrow-field telephoto M12 lens, not a general-purpose board lens.

Is the CIL100 waterproof?

No. The M12A variant is listed with no ingress protection. Use it inside a protected camera housing if the system will see moisture or dust exposure.

What camera mounts are compatible with the CIL100?

The Commonlands CLA024 holder is one compatible mount. The page also lists e-con Systems S-Mount with the included AL6061 holder, Allied Vision Alvium, FLIR Blackfly S Board, iDS uEye LE, The Imaging Source M12, and Basler Dart S-Mount compatibility.

Does the CIL100 ship same day from the US?

Yes. In-stock orders placed before 12 PM PST ship same day from the Commonlands San Diego warehouse.

The CIL100 is a 100mm M12 telephoto lens for narrow-field embedded vision. It covers up to 1/1.7" or 2/3" sensors and resolves 12MP at 1.85μm pixel pitch. At the listed 8.8mm image height, the field of view is only 5°, which is the reason to choose this lens.

This is a long EFL M12 optic, so mechanical stack-up matters more than it does on a short focal length board lens. Check holder height, sensor position, and rear clearance before assuming it drops into an existing module. The 11mm image circle gives useful margin for the sensor classes listed on the page.

The listed part numbers are CIL100-F3.6-M12A650 with a 650nm IRC filter and CIL100-F3.6-M12ANIR without a filter. The M12A variant has no ingress protection and uses BBAR coating on lens 1 surface 1 with an AL6061 cap and barrel. Distortion is listed at -0.10%, which is low enough that pointing, targeting, and long-range monitoring are usually driven more by focus and vibration than by geometric correction.

The Commonlands CLA024 holder is one compatible mount, and the page also lists e-con Systems S-Mount with the included AL6061 lens holder, Allied Vision Alvium, FLIR Blackfly S Board, iDS uEye LE, The Imaging Source M12, and Basler Dart S-Mount compatibility. In-stock orders placed before 12 PM PST ship same day from San Diego.
