Product Overview
The Barco GLD lens 0.85-1.06:1 (R98017241) is a standard zoom optic for the Barco F-series, specifically the F80 family of WQXGA projectors. Its short-to-standard throw ratio covers screens placed relatively close to the projector, making it a versatile general-purpose lens for F80 installs. The throw ratio is 0.85-1.06:1 on the F80 old (WQXGA 0.64") and 0.80-1.00:1 on the current F80 (WQXGA+ 0.67"). It is built for sharpness and fast focusing across that range.
Product Description
This GLD standard zoom lens is designed for versatile, everyday use on the Barco F80 platform. As shown in the product gallery, it is a compact zoom optic engineered for sharpness, speed and fast focusing. Barco lists compatibility across the F80-4K7, F80-4K9, F80-4K12, F80-Q7, F80-Q9 and F80-Q12 projectors, as well as the Medea platform. The lens covers a 0.85-1.06:1 throw on the older WQXGA 0.64" imager and 0.80-1.00:1 on the WQXGA+ 0.67" chip, giving installers a single lens that adapts across F80 generations.
This lens fits the Barco F80-series projectors. For a longer-throw option on the same F-series platform, compare the GLD lens 1.06-1.43:1, and browse the full Barco optics and projector range on our Barco collection. Creation Networks supplies genuine Barco projection lenses for fixed-install and rental AV deployments.
