Sharp NP30ZL – 0.79-1.04:1 Short-Throw Zoom Lens for NP-PA3 Series ...
Product Overview
The Sharp NP30ZL is a manual short-throw zoom lens with a 0.79-1.04:1 throw ratio and 1.3x zoom, compatible with a broad range of NP-PA series installation projectors including the NP-PA500U, NP-PA500X, NP-PA521U, NP-PA550W, NP-PA571W, NP-PA600X, NP-PA621X, NP-PA622U, NP-PA672W, and NP-PA722X. This lens covers short-throw installation scenarios for the PA series LCD projector platform, supporting screen sizes from 50 to 500 inches. Manual zoom and focus adjustment make it appropriate for permanent installations where the throw distance is fixed at setup.
Product Description
The NP30ZL provides a 1.3x zoom ratio spanning 0.79-1.04:1, covering the short-throw range for the broad NP-PA series projector platform. With a focal length spanning approximately 13-18mm (implied by the throw ratio and format), this lens is appropriate for rooms where the projector cannot be positioned at standard or long throw distances. At a 100-inch-wide screen, the NP30ZL positions the projector between approximately 5.7 and 7.5 feet—covering close-range installations in classrooms, conference rooms, and meeting spaces. The broad projector compatibility makes the NP30ZL a versatile lens for organizations standardizing on the NP-PA series platform across multiple room types.
The NP30ZL is sold separately from all compatible projector bodies and requires no special tools for installation.
