Frequently asked questions
What sensors work with the CIL043 no-distortion 4.4mm M12 lens?
The CIL043 covers 1/2 inch and 1/2.5 inch sensors including the Sony IMX214 and Raspberry Pi IMX477. It resolves 10MP at 1.55μm pixel pitch across a 7.4mm as-design image circle, with 8.1mm maximum.
How much distortion does the CIL043 M12 lens have?
The CIL043 has -0.4% TV distortion at the 6.3mm image circle. That is close enough to zero that most machine vision systems can skip distortion correction.
Is the CIL043 available with IP67 sealing?
Yes, the CIL043 is available in IP67-sealed M12B variants. CIL043-F3.2-M12B650 and CIL043-F3.2-M12BNIR both use a sealed metal barrel.
What is the difference between the CIL043 M12A and M12B variants?
The M12B version is the main F/3.2 IP67 model, while the M12A version is F/4.5 with no IP rating. Choose M12A when depth of field matters more than light.
What cameras are compatible with the CIL043 4.4mm M12 lens?
The CIL043 mounts to Commonlands CLA018 lens holders and fits e-con Systems, Allied Vision Alvium, FLIR Blackfly S, iDS uEye LE, The Imaging Source, and D3 Engineering camera modules.
Does the CIL043 ship same day from the US?
Yes, in-stock CIL043 lenses ship same day from San Diego, California for orders placed before 12 PM PST.
