Frequently asked questions
What sensors does the CIL083 8mm M12 lens support?
The CIL083 fits 1/1.8 inch sensors including the Sony IMX664 and IMX464, resolving 8-10MP at 1.85µm pixel pitch. The 8.8mm image circle covers the full 1/1.8 inch format with margin.
How much distortion does the CIL083 have?
TV distortion is -0.5%. That level is low enough for barcode reading, dimensional measurement, and machine vision inspection without software correction in most applications.
Is the CIL083 weatherproof or IP-rated?
No, the CIL083 M12A variant does not have ingress protection. If you need outdoor or washdown performance, you should look at the CIL078 or CIL079 IP67-rated 8mm M12 alternatives.
What cameras are compatible with the CIL083?
The lens works with e-con Systems standard S-mount boards (12-15mm holder height), Allied Vision Alvium, FLIR Blackfly S board-level, iDS uEye LE Rev1.1 and Rev1.2, The Imaging Source M12, and D3 Engineering camera modules. You can The Commonlands CLA020 lens holder is one compatible mounting option.
Does the CIL083 come with an IR cut filter?
The CIL083-F2.8-M12A650 includes a 650nm IR cut-off filter. The CIL083-F2.8-M12ANIR ships without a filter for near-infrared or multispectral work.
