Frequently asked questions
What is the longest focal length M12 lens available?
The CIL076 at 75mm is the longest focal length M12 lens in the Commonlands catalog. If you need more reach than that, you are usually in C-mount or CS-mount territory.
Can the CIL076 75mm M12 lens read license plates at long range?
Yes. The 75mm focal length gives a 6-degree field of view that can resolve license plates beyond 50 meters, depending on sensor resolution and plate size. IR correction also helps with nighttime plate reading under 850nm illumination.
What does IR corrected mean on the CIL076 75mm S-mount lens?
It holds focus from visible wavelengths through 850nm near-infrared. Without IR correction, focus shifts when illumination changes from visible to NIR light and a day/night camera loses sharpness.
What sensors are compatible with the 75mm M12 lens?
The CIL076 supports sensors up to 1/1.6 inch format, including the Sony IMX676 at 12MP resolution.
Does the CIL076 75mm M12 lens ship from the United States?
Yes. Commonlands ships all in-stock lenses same day from San Diego, California for orders placed before 12 PM PST.
Is volume pricing available for the CIL076?
Yes. Contact Commonlands for volume pricing on orders of 100 units or more. Production quantities ship with lot traceability and engineering support.
