Epson ELPLW05 – Wide-Throw Projector Zoom Lens

Product Overview

The Epson ELPLW05 wide-throw projector zoom lens is the Wide-Throw #1 interchangeable lens for Epson Pro G7000 Series and Pro L1000 Series large-venue projectors. With a wide-angle design and a 1.4x optical zoom, this Epson wide-throw lens (V12H004W05) fills large screens from a short standoff, making it a frequent integrator pick for shallow auditoriums, houses of worship, and rental rigs where the projector sits close to the screen.

Product Description

The ELPLW05 is a wide-angle zoom lens with a 17.60 mm to 24.30 mm focal length, a 1.4x optical zoom, and a maximum aperture of f/2 at the wide end and f/2.23 at the telephoto end. Its wide-angle optics let a projector produce a large image from a position close to the screen, which is what makes this lens useful in rooms that lack the depth for a standard or long-throw lens. As an interchangeable optic it mounts on the same Pro G7000 and Pro L chassis that accept Epson's standard, middle, and long-throw lenses, so an integrator can match the lens to the room. It is compatible with Epson EB-G7200W, EB-G7400U, EB-G7900U, EB-G7905U, EB-L1100U, EB-L1200U, EB-L1300U, and EB-L1405U projectors. For current large-venue laser bodies that use Epson's newer lens lineup, review the Epson EB-PU1008W and the Epson EB-PU2010B, or browse the full Epson projector lineup to confirm fitment. The lens ships separately from the projector.

FAQ

Which Epson projectors does the ELPLW05 fit?
It fits Epson EB-G7200W, EB-G7400U, EB-G7900U, EB-G7905U, EB-L1100U, EB-L1200U, EB-L1300U, and EB-L1405U projectors. Confirm your exact model against Epson's compatibility list before ordering.

Why choose a wide-throw lens?
A wide-angle lens fills a large screen from a position close to the screen, which is the right choice when a room is too shallow for a standard or long-throw lens.

How is this different from the ELPLW06?
The ELPLW05 is Epson's Wide-Throw #1 lens and the ELPLW06 is the Wide-Throw #2 lens; they cover different wide-angle ranges and projector compatibility, so match the lens to your specific projector and screen.

Is the zoom powered?
The lens provides a 1.4x optical zoom operated through the projector's lens controls; powered functions depend on the host projector model.

Can I swap it with other Epson Pro lenses?
Yes. It is interchangeable on the same Pro G7000 and Pro L chassis that accept Epson's standard, middle, and long-throw lenses.

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