Frequently asked questions
What sensors work with the CIL222 fisheye M12 lens?
The CIL222 supports sensors up to 1/1.7 inch format at 5–6MP resolution with 1.85μm pixel pitch, including the ON Semiconductor AR0521 and AR0234. The 6.2mm image circle covers those sensor diagonals.
What is the field of view of the CIL222?
The CIL222 gives 168° field of view at a 6.0mm image circle. Its -6.8% F-Θ distortion keeps pixel displacement close to linear with angle, which simplifies dewarping in panoramic and navigation systems.
Is the CIL222 weatherproof for outdoor cameras?
Yes. The M12A variant is IP69K rated, so it is sealed against high-pressure washdown, dust, and submersion. The all-glass, all-metal construction also holds focus through outdoor temperature swings.
What is the difference between the F/2.0 and F/4.0 CIL222 variants?
The CIL222-F2.0 variant collects more light for low-light and high-frame-rate work. The CIL222-F4.0 variant gives you greater depth of field, but you give up light throughput. Use our depth of field calculator at depth of field calculator to compare the tradeoff.
Does the CIL222 M12 fisheye 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.
What cameras are compatible with the CIL222?
The CIL222 works with Commonlands CLA018 lens holders and e-con Systems S-mount boards using 7–9mm tall mounts. Allied Vision Alvium, FLIR Blackfly S, iDS uEye LE, and The Imaging Source cameras are not mechanically compatible with this lens.
