Frequently asked questions

What sensor format is CIL290 designed for?

CIL290 is set up for 1/2.7″ sensors and uses a 5.8mm image circle. That format matches compact 3-5MP cameras well.

How wide is the field of view on CIL290?

The CIL290 gives you a 190° field of view from a 1.9mm effective focal length. That is full fisheye territory and enough to capture nearly hemispheric coverage from one camera.

How much distortion does CIL290 have?

The lens is specified at -9% F-Theta distortion at a 5.7mm image circle. That is controlled for a fisheye this wide, and it helps keep angular behavior predictable across the field.

Is CIL290 suitable for day/night imaging?

Yes. The CIL290 is NIR corrected, so it works in day/night cameras that image in visible light during the day and near-infrared at night.

How small and light is CIL290?

The CIL290 weighs 2g and has a total track length around 12.3mm. It fits camera modules where both mass and z-height are tight.

What mechanical versions are offered for CIL290?

The lens comes in M12A and M12B versions. Both use BBAR on lens 1 surface 1, and the versions differ in barrel construction while keeping IP67 sealing.

CIL290 is a compact fisheye M12 lens with a 1.9mm effective focal length, a 190° field of view, and a 1/2.7" format. It projects a 5.8mm image circle and supports 3-5MP resolution with 2.2μm pixels. The F/2.2 aperture makes sense when you need extreme coverage but do not want to step up to a much larger lens body.

The distortion behavior is controlled for a fisheye this wide. The lens is specified at -9% F-Theta distortion at a 5.7mm image circle, so angular mapping stays more predictable than you would expect from a doorbell-style ultra-wide. That matters in surround view, compact robotics, and doorbell cameras where scene coverage matters more than keeping lines rectilinear.

The package is tiny. The lens weighs 2g, the total track length is about 12.3mm, and the hybrid glass/plastic construction helps it fit space-constrained board cameras. NIR correction also makes it useful in day/night systems that switch between visible and near-infrared illumination.

Two M12 variants are available. Both versions use BBAR on the first lens surface. The M12A and M12B let you choose plastic-barrel or aluminum-barrel packaging with IP67-rated sealing, so the optical performance stays the same while the mechanics match your enclosure and environmental requirements.
