Frequently asked questions
What sensors does the CIL333 3.5mm M12 lens support?
The CIL333 covers 1/1.8 inch sensors up to 10MP including the Sony IMX178, IMX678, and IMX334. It resolves 6-8MP at 2.2μm pixel pitch across an 8.8-9.0mm image circle.
Is the CIL333 available in an IP67 waterproof version?
Yes. The M12B variant is IP69 rated for outdoor installations, agricultural equipment, and washdown environments, while the M12A is the standard non-sealed version.
What is the field of view of the CIL333 wide-angle M12 lens?
The CIL333 gives 136° at the 8.0mm image circle on a 1/1.8 inch sensor. Use field of view calculator to calculate the exact field on your sensor format.
What cameras are mechanically compatible with the CIL333?
The CIL333 mounts on FLIR Blackfly S, Allied Vision Alvium, iDS uEye LE, The Imaging Source M12, and Basler Dart S-Mount board cameras. The Commonlands CLA024 holder works for e-con Systems boards, and other compatible mounts are available.
