Sony IMX283 · 20.2MP 1" rolling-shutter CMOS image sensor
IMX283 Sensor Specifications & Compatible M12 and C-Mount Lenses
The IMX283 is a Sony 1-inch rolling-shutter CMOS image sensor for high-resolution inspection and astrophotography cameras. It captures 5496x3672 (20.2 MP) at up to 21.40 fps on 2.4 um pixels across a 15.86 mm diagonal over MIPI CSI-2 in color. Its 15.86 mm image circle sits beyond M12 Lens coverage, so the C-Mount Lenses in the table below carry it, each with its calculated horizontal, vertical, and diagonal field of view.

Compatible Commonlands Lenses for the IMX283 with Calculated Field of View
Each field of view below is calculated for the IMX283 active area (13.19 × 8.81 mm) from Commonlands’ per-lens field-of-view data, which reflects each lens’s real distortion rather than a focal-length-only estimate. Alongside the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal field of view, each row lists the lens aperture (F#), distortion, ingress protection, total track length (TTL), and rated resolution, so you can shortlist on optics and mechanics in one pass. Coverage shows whether the lens image circle covers the 15.86 mm sensor diagonal. Only lenses that cover the full diagonal are listed. Run exact working-distance and object-size numbers through the field of view calculator.
Engineering picks for the IMX283
- Best ~30° HFoV: 25mm C-Mount Lens (CIL554) (25 mm, f/2.6). Why: the closest covering option to 30° horizontal, chosen for tight inspection framing and long read ranges. Field of view on the IMX283: 29° H × 20° V (35° diagonal). The image circle covers the full sensor (verified 2026-07-02).
- Best ~60° HFoV: 12mm C-Mount Lens (CIL552) (12 mm, f/2.8). Why: the closest covering option to 60° horizontal, chosen for general-purpose machine-vision framing. Field of view on the IMX283: 57° H × 40° V (67° diagonal). The image circle covers the full sensor (verified 2026-07-02).
- Best low light: 8.5mm C-Mount Lens (CIL508) (8.5 mm, f/2.4). Why: the fastest covering aperture (f/2.4), which collects the most light per pixel. Field of view on the IMX283: 79° H × 56° V (91° diagonal). The image circle covers the full sensor (verified 2026-07-02).
This larger format pairs with the C-Mount Lens collection. Covering lenses below run from 1.3 mm to 75 mm focal length and span 10° to 184° horizontal field of view on the IMX283 active area.

| 75mm C-Mount Lens (CIL557) | 75 mm | C-마운트 | f/3 | 10° | 7° | 12° | Covers |
Covers in the table means the lens image circle is at least as large as the 15.86 mm sensor diagonal, so the corners are not cropped. Need a focal length or coverage that is not listed here? Ask our engineers to confirm a match.
How to choose a lens for the IMX283
Start from the field of view your application needs, then read across to the focal length that produces it on the IMX283. Confirm the lens image circle covers the 15.86 mm diagonal so the corners are not cropped, and check the lens resolution is rated for 20.2 MP or higher so it resolves the 2.4 µm pixels. For exact working-distance and object-size numbers, run the figures through the Commonlands field of view calculator.
