72.5mm C-Mount lens for up to 1.2" sensors such as IMX530

CIL557 is a 72.5mm C-mount lens for 25MP sensors up to 1.2" format with 2.74µm pixel pitch, including the Sony IMX530. The aperture adjusts from F/3.0 to F/15+, so you can dial in depth of field for the working distance and part geometry.

The constraint on this lens is focus range. It works from 500mm to 1600mm only and will not focus at infinity. You can shift the close-focus range with C-mount spacers, but the lens is still a finite conjugate design. Within its intended range, distortion is -0.02% TV and the 19.3mm image circle covers the full 1.2" sensor diagonal. The lens also works on 2/3" and 1.1" cameras with a cropped field of view.

The lens uses all-glass construction, weighs 138g, and includes M30.5x0.5 filter threading for IR blocking or bandpass filters. The field of view is 15.2°, which is narrow enough for detailed part inspection, label reading, and metrology at 0.5 to 1.6 meter standoff distances.

The lens uses the standard C-mount 1"-32 TPI thread. It is compatible with Basler, FLIR, Allied Vision, IDS, and The Imaging Source cameras. It also mounts on CS-mount cameras with a 5mm adapter ring. You can use field of view calculator to model coverage on your sensor size.

The lens ships same day from San Diego for orders before 12 PM PST. You can reach our US-based optical engineers for volume pricing or guidance on working distance optimization. You can use depth of field calculator as a starting point for depth of field estimation.
