Frequently asked questions
What sensors does the CIL104 10mm M12 lens support?
The CIL104 covers 1/2.5 inch sensors up to 4MP. Its 7.2mm designed image circle fills that format cleanly, and the 9.0mm maximum image circle can reach slightly larger sensors if you can accept some corner shading.
How much distortion does the CIL104 have?
The CIL104 has -1.4% rectilinear distortion at the 6.6mm image circle. Check the distortion error budget for barcode scanning, OCR, and dimensional measurement.
What cameras are compatible with the CIL104?
The CIL104 fits e-con Systems, Allied Vision Alvium, FLIR Blackfly S, iDS uEye LE, The Imaging Source, and D3 Engineering camera modules. The Commonlands CLA018 18mm lens holder sets the correct mounting height.
What is the CIL104 field of view?
The CIL104 gives 36° field of view at the 6.6mm image circle. Your exact horizontal and vertical angles still depend on sensor size, so you should verify them with the Commonlands field of view calculator.
Does the CIL104 ship same day from the US?
Yes. Commonlands ships in-stock lenses same day from San Diego, California for orders placed before 12 PM PST.
Are mechanical drawings and 3D models available for the CIL104?
Yes. The product page includes the mechanical drawing, and engineering@commonlands.com can provide .STP files and Trioptics MTF reports.
