Frequently asked questions

What sensors does the CIL527 50mm C-mount lens support?

The CIL527 is listed for 2/3 inch sensors up to 5MP, such as the Sony IMX546. The focal length is 50mm and the base aperture is F/2.0.

What is the ruggedized version of the CIL527?

The CMR variant is ruggedized for shock and vibration, which suits robotics and moving equipment. It holds focus and aperture under vibration better than a standard build.

What part numbers are available for the CIL527?

The page lists CIL527-F2.0-CMANIR (C-Mount A), CIL527-F2.0-CMBNIR (C-Mount B), and the ruggedized CIL527-F2.0-CMRNIR, CIL527-F2.8-CMRNIR, and CIL527-F4.0-CMRNIR. All are without filter.

What is the field of view of the CIL527?

The CIL527 covers 13° at its 11mm image circle. Use the Commonlands field of view calculator for your specific sensor.

Is the CIL527 an M12 lens?

No. The CIL527 is a C-mount lens. Use it with cameras that support the 1 inch-32 C-mount thread and the standard 17.526mm flange distance.

Does the CIL527 ship same day from the US?

Yes. In-stock variants ordered before 12 PM PST ship same day from the Commonlands San Diego warehouse.

The CIL527 is a 50mm C-mount lens for 5MP sensors up to 2/3-inch, such as the Sony IMX546. At 50mm it is a telephoto option for machine vision, useful when the camera sits back from the target and you still need to fill the sensor with a small feature. It delivers a 9° × 9° field of view on the IMX546 and a 10° × 8° field of view on the Sony IMX264.

The ruggedized CMR variant is built for shock and vibration, which makes it a practical choice for robotics, mobile platforms, and equipment that moves or sees regular impact. A standard 50mm lens can drift focus under vibration; the ruggedized build holds the optical groups in place so focus and aperture stay where you set them.

Several configurations are listed. CIL527-F2.0-CMANIR is the standard C-Mount A version, and the ruggedized line includes CIL527-F2.0-CMRNIR, CIL527-F2.8-CMRNIR, and CIL527-F4.0-CMRNIR. All listed versions are without filter. The lens resolves an 11mm image circle with a 13° field of view, and distortion is about -1%.

Use the CIL527 when you need a 50mm focal length on a 2/3-inch 5MP C-mount camera, and choose a CMR variant if the camera will see vibration or shock. In-stock orders placed before 12 PM PST ship the same day from San Diego.
