5mm M12 Lens for Up to 1/1.7" 12MP Cameras such as IMX226

The CIL050 is a 5.1mm M12 lens for large-format 1/1.7" sensors such as the Sony IMX226. It uses a fixed F/2.0 aperture, gives 120° diagonal field of view across a 9.3mm image circle, and supports 12MP resolution, so it targets wide coverage on higher-resolution sensors.

The spec that matters here is more than 20% MTF at 320 lp/mm. That is enough resolving power for small-pixel sensors, which is why this lens can support 12MP instead of only filling the sensor with soft edge detail. Distortion is -17% TV, so the edges bend noticeably. That trade is usually fine for robotics navigation and surveillance, but it is the wrong choice for measurement or inspection unless you plan on software correction.

All-glass optics sit in an aluminum barrel with BBAR coating on the first surface. The lens weighs 11g. The product page calls out good stray light performance, and that matters when bright sources sit near the edge of a very wide field. This lens only comes in an M12A variant, so it has no ingress protection.

The lens is compatible with the Commonlands CLA020 lens holder with 20mm mounting hole spacing. It also works with e-con Systems boards using a 9-13mm holder, Allied Vision Alvium, FLIR Blackfly S, iDS uEye LE, The Imaging Source, and Basler Dart S-mount cameras. On the Onsemi AR0521 it delivers a 64° × 47° field of view, and on the Sony IMX335 a 58° × 43° field of view. You can calculate your field of view.
