Frequently asked questions
What sensors does the CIL046 4.4mm M12 lens support?
The CIL046 supports 1/1.7 inch sensors up to 8MP at 1.85μm pixel pitch, including the Sony IMX334 and ON Semiconductor AR0820. The 8.8mm image circle covers the full sensor diagonal.
What does IR corrected mean on the CIL046?
IR correction means the CIL046 stays in focus across visible and near-infrared wavelengths at the same time. Standard lenses usually shift focus between day and night modes, but this one does not.
How much distortion does the CIL046 have?
The CIL046 has -14% rectilinear distortion and -8% TV distortion at the 8.9mm image circle. That is the tradeoff for a fast F/2.0 aperture and IR correction in a wide-angle lens, and software correction works well in many machine vision pipelines.
Is the CIL046 suitable for day/night security cameras?
Yes. The RGBIR-corrected optics are a good fit for day/night cameras because focus stays stable across visible and NIR wavelengths. Switching modes does not require refocusing. Plan your depth of field at depth of field calculator
Does the CIL046 ship same day from the United States?
Yes. Commonlands ships all in-stock lenses same day from San Diego, California for orders placed before 12 PM PST.
What cameras are compatible with the CIL046 M12 lens?
The CIL046 is mechanically compatible with Commonlands CLA019 holders, FLIR Blackfly S, Allied Vision Alvium, iDS uEye LE, The Imaging Source M12, and Basler Dart S-mount cameras. Use a 10–15mm tall holder for e-con Systems boards.
