Frequently asked questions
What sensors work with the CIL343 4.4mm wide-angle M12 lens?
The CIL343 covers 1/1.8″ sensors up to 10MP at 1.85μm pixel pitch, including the ON Semiconductor AR0820 and AR0821. Its 8.8-9.7mm image circle covers those formats.
How much distortion does the CIL343 have?
The CIL343 has -5% F-Θ distortion. That is moderate for a 123° wide-angle lens, and the F-theta projection keeps angular resolution more uniform across the field.
Is the CIL343 IP67 rated for outdoor use?
Yes. The M12A variant is IP67 rated with a sealed aluminum barrel, so it works for outdoor, washdown, and dusty environments.
Which lens holders are compatible with the CIL343?
The Commonlands CLA020 is the primary compatible holder. Allied Vision Alvium, FLIR Blackfly S, iDS uEye LE Rev1.1, The Imaging Source, and D3 Engineering modules also accept the CIL343, while e-con Systems boards need a 10-15mm tall mount.
Does the CIL343 ship same day from the US?
Yes. Commonlands ships in-stock M12 lenses same day from San Diego for orders placed before 12 PM PST.
What is the field of view of the CIL343 4.4mm M12 lens?
The CIL343 gives 123° field of view at the 8.8mm image circle. Use field of view calculator to calculate the exact field on your sensor.
