Know before you buy
This lens is specifically designed for use with Epson's Pro L and G7000 series projectors. It is not compatible with standard home theater or portable projectors, so please verify your specific projector model number before purchasing.
A short-throw lens allows you to project a large image from a much shorter distance than a standard lens. This makes it an ideal solution for smaller rooms, museums, or tight installation spaces where you cannot place the projector far back from the screen.
Yes. This lens features a 1 to 1.2 zoom ratio, which gives you a small amount of flexibility to adjust the image size slightly without physically repositioning the projector. However, for significant changes in image size, you will still need to move the unit.
Yes, this lens is designed to support extensive lens shift capabilities. This allows you to move the image vertically and horizontally without tilting the projector, which is essential for achieving a perfectly square image when the projector cannot be mounted directly in the center of the screen.
The ELPLU04 is capable of supporting a wide range of screen sizes, from 80 inches up to 1000 inches. The actual size you achieve will depend on the specific distance between your projector and the screen.
