IMX174 sensor specifications and
compatible M12 lenses & C-mount lenses
IMX174 is a Sony 1/1.2-inch global-shutter CMOS image sensor from the Pregius family, a workhorse for global-shutter machine vision. It runs 1936x1216 (2.4 MP) at up to 164.5 fps with large 5.86um pixels across a 13.40mm diagonal over an LVDS interface in color or mono. Because that image circle is large, Commonlands matches M12 Lenses (and C-Mount Lenses) that cover it and publishes the calculated horizontal, vertical, and diagonal field of view.

Compatible Commonlands lenses for the IMX174. Field of View calculated with Distortion.
Each field of view below is calculated for the IMX174 active area (11.34 × 7.13 mm) using our MCP server and Field of view calculator. The rectilinear formula FoV = 2 × arctan(dimension ÷ (2 × focal length)) is incorrect for many lenses as it doesn't include distortion. Coverage shows whether the lens image circle covers the 13.4 mm sensor diagonal. Fisheye and f-theta lenses do not follow the rectilinear formula, so their entries link to the product page for the mapped field of view.
| Commonlands Lens | Focal Length | Mount | F# | Horizontal FoV | Vertical FoV | Diagonal FoV | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4.9mm C-Mount Lens (CIL505) | 4.9 mm | C-mount | f/2.2 | 98.3° | 72.1° | 107.6° | Covers |
| 8.5mm C-Mount Lens (CIL508) | 8.5 mm | C-mount | f/2.4 | 67.4° | 45.5° | 76.5° | Covers |
| 12mm C-Mount Lens (CIL552) | 12 mm | C-mount | f/2.8 | 50.6° | 33.1° | 58.4° | Covers |
| 16mm C-Mount Lens (CIL553) | 16 mm | C-mount | f/2.8 | 39° | 25.1° | 45.4° | Covers |
| 25mm C-Mount Lens (CIL554) | 25 mm | C-mount | f/2.6 | 25.6° | 16.2° | 30° | Covers |
| 35mm C-Mount Lens (CIL555) | 35 mm | C-mount | f/2.6 | 18.4° | 11.6° | 21.7° | Covers |
| 50mm C-Mount Lens (CIL556) | 50 mm | C-mount | f/2.8 | 12.9° | 8.2° | 15.3° | Covers |
| 75mm C-Mount Lens (CIL557) | 75 mm | C-mount | f/3 | 8.6° | 5.4° | 10.2° | Covers |
Coverage key: covers = lens image circle ≥ sensor diagonal; crops = image circle smaller than the diagonal (expect vignetting at the corners); verify = image circle not published for this lens — ask our engineers to confirm coverage.
How to choose a lens for the IMX174
Start from the field of view your application needs, then read across to the focal length that produces it on the IMX174. Confirm the lens image circle covers the 13.4 mm diagonal so the corners are not cropped, and check the lens resolution is rated for 2.4 MP or higher so it resolves the 5.86 µm pixels. For exact working-distance and object-size numbers, run the figures through the Commonlands field of view calculator.
