Panasonic 5.3mm Fixed-Focus Ultra-Short Throw Projector Lens

The Panasonic ET-DLE035 is a fixed-focus ultra-short throw lens designed for select Panasonic 1-Chip DLP projectors. With a 5.3 mm focal length and an f/2.0 aperture, it can fill a large screen from a distance that keeps the projector close to the surface. Depending on the projector model and screen aspect ratio, the throw ratio ranges from 0.380:1 to 0.399:1, which means an installer can position the projector just inches away while still achieving a wide, immersive image.

This lens is a practical choice for venues where space in front of the screen is limited. Retail windows can display attention-grabbing visuals without blocking foot traffic, stage designers can hide the projector at the edge of the set, and museums or trade-show booths can keep equipment out of the visitor walkway. Classrooms and conference rooms with shallow table depth also benefit because presenters avoid standing in the beam.

The ET-DLE035 supports several Panasonic projectors, including models such as PT-RZ120, PT-RZ970, and PT-RZ870, along with many others in the 1-Chip DLP line. Manual focus and shift adjustments let technicians fine-tune the image without relying on motorized parts, reducing points of failure and simplifying long-term maintenance. Panasonic supplies a protective lens cover and a lens shift gauge, so the lens stays clean during transport and alignment is straightforward during installation.
