Panasonic ET-EMS650 1.35 – 2.11:1 Zoom lens for PT-MZ16K/MZ13K/MZ10K LCD laser projectors

Product Overview

The Panasonic ET-EMS650 is a standard-throw zoom lens for the PT-MZ16K, PT-MZ13K, and PT-MZ10K LCD laser projectors, covering a 1.35-2.10:1 throw ratio in 16:10. It lets AV integrators set projection distance to a specific screen size in auditoriums, houses of worship, and large conference rooms without moving the projector. As a model-specific install lens, it is selected during system design and aligned with the host projector's lens-shift and geometry controls. Compatibility should be confirmed against the projector chassis before ordering.

Product Description

The ET-EMS650 varies projection distance by adjusting focal length across a 29.9-46.32mm range at an f/1.75-2.17 aperture, yielding a 1.35-2.10:1 throw in 16:10 and 16:9 and 1.62-2.50:1 in 4:3. It is engineered for Panasonic's high-output PT-MZ-series LCD laser projectors used in larger venues. In a commercial AV deployment, the lens is matched to a fixed screen width at a known mount position, then fine-tuned with the projector's optical shift and screen-correction features during commissioning. For different throw distances on the same PT-MZ platform, compare the ET-EMW500 and the ET-EMW400 for shorter throw, or the ET-EMT750 for longer throw.

Key Features

• Standard Throw Range — A 1.35-2.10:1 throw in 16:10 fits typical mid-to-rear room mount positions.
• Optical Zoom Flexibility — 29.9-46.32mm focal length sizes the image without relocating the projector.
• Multi-Aspect Support — Operates across 16:10, 16:9, and 4:3 projection modes.
• PT-MZ-Series Compatibility — Designed for the PT-MZ16K, PT-MZ13K, and PT-MZ10K LCD laser projectors.
• Lens-Shift Compatible — Works with the host projector's optical shift and geometry tools for precise alignment.
• Install-Grade Build — A 7.93 lb lens body suited to permanent large-venue installations.

Typical Applications

• Auditorium — Sizes a large fixed screen from a mid-to-rear projector position.
• House of Worship — Sets sanctuary screen width during install.
• Conference Room — Matches a large meeting-room screen to the mount location.
• Multi-Purpose Room — Adapts a high-output projector to a fixed screen layout.
• Government Space — Precise image sizing for council chambers and briefing rooms.

Technical Specifications

Specifications sourced from Panasonic / vendor data. Motorized vs. manual zoom/focus behavior, supported lens-shift range, and full current-model compatibility require manual review against the current Panasonic ET-EMS650 spec sheet and the target projector's lens compatibility chart.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which projectors is the ET-EMS650 compatible with?
It is designed for the Panasonic PT-MZ16K, PT-MZ13K, and PT-MZ10K LCD laser projectors. Confirm your exact chassis against Panasonic's current lens compatibility chart before ordering.

What screen size will it produce?
Image size depends on throw distance at the 1.35-2.10:1 ratio (16:10). Calculate screen width against your planned mount-to-screen distance during system design.

Does it work with the projector's lens shift?
Yes. It is intended to be used with the host projector's optical shift and geometry-correction features for final image alignment.

Is this lens cross-compatible with other brands?
No. It is a Panasonic model-specific lens and is not interchangeable with non-Panasonic projectors.
