Epson ELPLM11 – Middle-Throw Projector Zoom Lens

Product Overview

The Epson ELPLM11 middle-throw projector zoom lens is the Middle-Throw #4 interchangeable lens for Epson PowerLite Pro L Series large-venue projectors. With a 4.85–7.38:1 16:10 throw ratio, this Epson middle-throw lens (V12H004M0B) is the longest of Epson's middle-throw options and is built for rooms where the projector sits well back from the screen. It serves auditoriums, houses of worship, and rental installs needing a longer middle-throw reach, and it excludes the Pro L25000 platform.

Product Description

The ELPLM11 provides a 16:10 throw ratio of 4.85 to 7.38 and a 4:3 throw ratio of 4.95 to 7.54, with a 1.0 to 1.5x zoom for framing. On the Pro L1500 and Pro L1505 the 16:10 throw ratio shifts to 3.54 to 5.41, reflecting those models' larger imaging panel. As the longest middle-throw option in Epson's Pro L lens lineup, it bridges the gap between the middle and long-throw lenses, which is what makes it useful when the standard and shorter middle-throw lenses cannot reach the screen from the available mounting position. As an interchangeable lens it mounts on the same Pro L chassis that accept Epson's wide, standard, and other middle-throw lenses. It is compatible with Epson Pro L1100U, L1200U, L1300U, L1405U, L1500U, and L1505U projectors and their NL body-only variants. For current Epson laser bodies that use the company's newer lens lineup, review the Epson EB-PU2010B and the body-only Epson Pro L20000UNL, or browse the full Epson projector lineup to confirm fitment. The lens ships separately from the projector.

FAQ

Which Epson projectors does the ELPLM11 fit?
It fits Epson PowerLite Pro L Series projectors including L1100U, L1200U, L1300U, L1405U, L1500U, and L1505U and their NL body-only variants. It excludes the Pro L25000. Confirm your exact model against Epson's compatibility list before ordering.

How far does the projector sit from the screen?
With a 16:10 throw ratio of 4.85 to 7.38, a 10-foot-wide image needs roughly 48 to 74 feet of throw. This is the longest of Epson's middle-throw lenses. Use Epson's throw calculator for an exact figure.

How does this differ from the other middle-throw lenses?
The ELPLM11 (Middle-Throw #4) has the longest throw of Epson's middle-throw lenses; the ELPLM08, ELPLM10, and ELPLM15 cover progressively shorter ranges. Choose based on how far back the projector must mount.

Is the zoom powered?
The lens provides a 1.0 to 1.5x zoom operated through the projector's lens controls; powered functions depend on the host projector model.

Why is the throw ratio different on the Pro L1500/L1505?
Those models use a different imaging panel, so the same lens produces a 3.54 to 5.41 16:10 throw ratio on them.

Is the projector included?
No. The lens is sold separately from the projector body.
