Frequently asked questions

What sensors does the CIL212 support?

The CIL212 supports 1/2.5″ sensors including the AR0521 and IMX335, and it resolves 8MP at 1.55μm pixel pitch.

What is the CIL212 image circle and field of view?

The CIL212 covers a 3.9mm image circle at a 226-degree field of view. It is the widest lens in the compact Commonlands miniature fisheye range.

Where can I find the CIL212 mechanical drawing and distortion data?

Full optical, F-Θ, and TV distortion data are available in the mechanical drawing on DocSend at mechanical drawing Contact us if you also need STP files.

Is the CIL212 M12A variant weatherproof?

No. The M12A variant has no ingress protection rating, so the enclosure or housing has to provide that protection.

Does the CIL212 ship same day from the US?

Yes. Orders placed before 12 PM PST ship same day from our San Diego warehouse. Contact us if you want to confirm current stock.

What camera boards are compatible with the CIL212?

Allied Vision Alvium S-mount is directly compatible. e-con Systems S-mount boards work with a 7-9mm tall holder, The Imaging Source Rev1.2 is compatible with part numbers ending in C-No, and iDS uEye LE plus FLIR Blackfly S board are not compatible.

CIL212 is a 226-degree miniature fisheye M12 lens with 1.1mm EFL and F/2.2 for 1/2.5" sensors such as the AR0521 and IMX335. At 6g and 20mm TTL, it stays compact while handling 8MP at 1.55μm pixel pitch. The 3.9mm image circle gives you a circular fisheye on most standard formats.

This lens is very wide, but it is still manageable in software. Distortion is -10% F-Θ, which is low for a 226-degree design, so correction is possible without turning the image pipeline into a science project.

That trade works well in 360-degree surveillance, aerial cameras, and robotics, where full-scene coverage matters more than geometric precision.

The M12A variant uses a hybrid glass and plastic optical design in an AL6061 barrel. The package stays light and production-friendly, but it has no ingress protection rating, so the enclosure has to handle weather and dust. Order CIL212-F2.2-M12A660 with the 660nm IRC filter or CIL212-F2.2-M12ANIR without it. Allied Vision Alvium S-mount cameras fit directly, and e-con Systems boards work with a 7-9mm holder.

Full optical, F-Θ, and TV distortion curves are available in the mechanical drawing on DocSend. Orders placed before 12 PM PST ship same day from San Diego, and Commonlands optical engineers can help with volume pricing or integration questions.
