Frequently asked questions
What sensors work with the CIL330 2.9mm wide-angle M12 lens?
The CIL330 covers 1/2″ sensors up to 12MP including the Sony IMX477 and IMX412. Its 8.0mm image circle covers the 1/2″ format used in Raspberry Pi HQ, drones, and machine vision cameras.
How much distortion does the CIL330 have?
The CIL330 has -3% F-Θ distortion. That projection keeps angular resolution nearly constant across the 120° field, which helps SLAM, stitching, and surveillance systems.
Is the CIL330 IP67 rated for outdoor use?
Yes. Both M12A and M12B variants are IP67 rated with sealed aluminum barrels, so they work for outdoor cameras, drones, agricultural robots, and other dusty or wet environments.
What is the difference between the CIL330 M12A and M12B variants?
The M12A has 3.6mm mechanical back focal length, and the M12B has 4.4mm MBFL. The optics and sealing stay the same, so you choose between them based on your board stack height.
Does the CIL330 ship same day from the US?
Yes. Commonlands ships in-stock CIL330 lenses same day from San Diego for orders placed before 12 PM PST.
What is the field of view of the CIL330 2.9mm M12 lens?
The CIL330 gives 120° field of view at the 6.0mm image circle. Use field of view calculator to check the exact field on your sensor format.
