Frequently asked questions

What sensors work with the CIL532 12mm C-mount lens?

The CIL532 supports 2/3 inch sensors up to 12MP with 2.2um pixel pitch, including the Sony IMX487 and IMX536. Its 11.1mm image circle covers the full 2/3 inch format.

How much distortion does the CIL532 have?

The CIL532 has +0.05% distortion at the 11.1mm image circle. That number is effectively zero, so the lens works well in precision measurement and gauging systems.

What is the aperture range on the CIL532?

The CIL532 has a manual iris from F/2.0 to F/16. You should use F/2.0 when light or shutter speed is the constraint, and you should stop down when depth of field matters more. You can compare settings at depth of field calculator

Is the CIL532 optimized for close working distances?

Yes. The CIL532 is optimized from 150mm to infinity for finite conjugate imaging. That optimization keeps field curvature under control at close working distances where many infinity-biased lenses struggle.

What is the difference between the CIL532 and CIL512 12mm C-mount lenses?

The CIL532 covers 2/3 inch sensors with an 11.1mm image circle, while the CIL512 covers larger 1.1 inch sensors. You should choose the CIL532 for 2/3 inch cameras, and you should choose the CIL512 when your sensor is larger.

Does the CIL532 ship same day from the US?

Yes. Orders placed before 12 PM PST ship the same day from our San Diego warehouse. Contact Commonlands for volume pricing.

The CIL532 is a 12mm C-mount lens for 2/3" sensors resolving up to 12MP at 2.2um pixel pitch. It matches sensors like the Sony IMX487 and IMX536, and the iris adjusts from F/2.0 to F/16. This lens sits in the useful center of the lineup because it gives you natural perspective without forcing a long working distance.

The CIL532 holds distortion to +0.05% across the 11.1mm image circle. That is essentially zero in this class, which is why the lens belongs in gauging, dimensional measurement, and any setup where straight edges matter. The 49° field of view gives you coverage that still looks natural on a 2/3" sensor. You can check the field on your sensor at field of view calculator

The lens uses an all-glass construction in a compact 61g barrel. The front takes M27x0.5 filters, and focus runs from 0.15m to infinity. The optical design is optimized for finite conjugate work, so it stays controlled at short distances where many general-purpose C-mount lenses start to soften or curve the field.

The standard C-mount thread and 17.526mm flange distance let the lens mount directly to cameras from Basler, FLIR, Lucid Vision, Allied Vision, and other industrial camera makers. The 12mm focal length remains one of the safest choices in machine vision because it balances field coverage and working distance without much drama.

The CIL532 is available as CIL532-F2.0-CMANIR without a filter. All in-stock units ship the same day from San Diego when you order before 12 PM PST. Volume pricing and Trioptics MTF data are available from our engineering team. You can estimate depth of field at depth of field calculator
