Frequently asked questions
What sensor format does CIL924 support?
CIL924 is specified for sensor formats up to 1/2.5″ and uses a 6.4mm image circle. That is the format range it was built to cover.
What does +0.5% F-Theta distortion mean on this lens?
The +0.5% F-Theta spec means the lens stays very close to the intended F-Theta mapping at the 6.4mm image circle. In practice, that gives you more uniform angular behavior across the image than a conventional wide-angle lens.
Is CIL924 appropriate for outdoor camera placements?
Yes. The listed mechanical version is IP67+, so the lens is meant for cameras that may face dust, rain, and similar exposure.
Why does the all-glass, aluminum construction matter?
All-glass optics and an aluminum housing usually hold focus and alignment more consistently across temperature than lighter plastic-heavy designs. That matters in outdoor systems and cameras mounted near heat sources.
What resolution is CIL924 designed for?
CIL924 is rated for 5MP sensors with 2.2μm pixels. That is the resolution class where it lines up best.
How wide is the field of view on CIL924?
The CIL924 gives you a 156° field of view. That is wide enough for broad coverage without moving all the way to a full fisheye look.
