Frequently asked questions
What is the field of view of the CIL220 M12 fisheye lens?
The CIL220 provides a 215° field of view at 6.8mm image circle, making it one of the widest M12 fisheye lenses on the market.
What does 0% F-theta distortion mean on the CIL220 215° fisheye?
F-theta (F-θ) distortion describes how angular field positions map to image height. At 0% F-θ, magnification is consistent across the field — objects in the 160° central range are not compressed relative to the image center. This matters for machine vision tasks requiring accurate size or distance estimation from fisheye imagery.
What is the difference between the CIL220 M12B and M12C variants?
Both variants are IP69K-rated with AL6061 aluminum construction. The M12C adds a hydrophobic coating on the first lens surface to repel water droplets and resist fouling from rain or spray. The M12B uses standard BBAR anti-reflection coating instead.
What cameras are mechanically compatible with the CIL220 fisheye M12 lens?
The CIL220 requires a 7mm-9mm tall M12 holder. The Commonlands CLA018 and e-con Systems standard S-mount boards are confirmed compatible. Allied Vision Alvium, FLIR Blackfly S, iDS uEye LE, and The Imaging Source M12 boards are not mechanically compatible.
Does the CIL220 ship with or without a 650nm IRC filter?
Both filter options are available. The CIL220-F2.3-M12C650 includes a pre-installed 650nm IRC filter; the CIL220-F2.3-M12CNIR ships without a filter for NIR or broadband applications.
Is volume pricing available on the CIL220 M12 fisheye lens?
Yes. Volume pricing breaks begin at 50 units, with tiers at 100, 250, 500, 1k, 2.5k, 5k, 10k, and 25k. Contact Commonlands for a formal quote.
