Frequently asked questions
What sensors work with the CIL344 4.5mm M12 lens?
The CIL344 covers sensors up to 2/3″ format, including the Sony IMX490 and OmniVision OS08A10. The 11.4mm image circle supports 1/1.8″ and 2/3″ sensors with margin.
What is the difference between the F/1.9 and F/2.7 CIL344 variants?
The F/2.7 variant resolves 12MP at 2.2μm pixel pitch for high-resolution inspection. The F/1.9 variant resolves 3MP at 4.2μm pixel pitch and collects roughly twice the light, which makes more sense for low-light robotics and drone work.
Is the CIL344 IP69K rated for outdoor use?
Yes. The M12B variant is IP69K rated for washdown, outdoor, and dusty environments. The standard M12A variant has no ingress protection.
What lens holder does the CIL344 use?
The CIL344 works with the Commonlands CLA024 holder and other compatible mounts. e-con Systems boards need a 12–15mm tall holder instead.
Does the CIL344 ship same day from the US?
Yes. Commonlands ships all in-stock lenses same day from San Diego for orders placed before 12 PM PST.
How much distortion does the CIL344 have?
The CIL344 has -3% F-Theta distortion measured at the 11.0mm image circle. That is moderate for a wide-angle lens, so decide early whether your application can live with it or whether you want software correction.
