Frequently asked questions

What sensors does the CIL545 35mm C-mount lens support?

The CIL545 supports 1.1 inch sensors at up to 20MP with 2.74μm pixel pitch, including the Sony IMX531. Its 17.6mm image circle covers the full 1.1 inch format.

Is the CIL545 optimized for close working distances?

Yes. The CIL545 is finite conjugate optimized, so it stays sharp from 200mm to infinity. That is a real advantage because many 35mm C-mount lenses lose sharpness below 500mm working distance.

How much distortion does the CIL545 35mm lens produce?

The CIL545 has -0.07% distortion from rectilinear at minimum object distance. That is low enough that gauging, OCR, and alignment systems usually do not need software correction.

What is the aperture range on the CIL545?

The CIL545 has an adjustable iris from F/2.8 to F/16. That range gives you control over exposure and depth of field, which matters at the close working distances this lens supports.

Can I use the CIL545 for precision measurement applications?

Yes. The CIL545 is a strong fit for precision measurement because it combines -0.07% distortion, 20MP support, and close-distance optimization from 200mm to infinity.

Does the CIL545 ship same day from Commonlands?

Yes. Orders placed before 12 PM PST ship the same day from our San Diego warehouse. Contact Commonlands if you need volume pricing or Trioptics MTF data for the CIL545.

The CIL545 is a 35mm C-mount lens for 1.1" sensors at up to 20MP with 2.74μm pixel pitch. The Sony IMX531 is the main target sensor. The iris adjusts from F/2.8 to F/16, and the finite conjugate optimization keeps the image sharp from 200mm to infinity. This is the 35mm option to use when the system needs high resolution and still has to work close.

The CIL545 gives you a 28° field across the 17.6mm image circle. Distortion measures -0.07% from rectilinear at minimum object distance, which is low enough that gauging, OCR, and alignment systems can often remove distortion correction from the pipeline entirely. That matters because correction costs compute time and adds one more failure point.

The lens uses an all-glass design and weighs 125g, and the front takes M35.5x0.5 filters. The finite conjugate optimization is the real differentiator here. Many 35mm C-mount lenses look fine at infinity and soften badly below 500mm. The CIL545 stays sharp down to 200mm, which opens up tabletop inspection, microscopy relay, and close-range QC work. You can estimate depth of field at depth of field calculator

The standard C-mount interface lets the lens mount directly to cameras from FLIR, Basler, Lucid Vision, Allied Vision, and similar manufacturers that run 1.1" sensors. If you need more area coverage on the same format, you should step down to the CIL514 at 25mm or the CIL508 at 8mm.

All in-stock units ship the same day from San Diego when you order before 12 PM PST. Contact engineering@commonlands.com if you need Trioptics MTF data, volume pricing, or help with application fit.
