Panasonic ET-EMT850 4.14 – 7.40:1 Zoom lens for PT-MZ16K/MZ13K/MZ10K LCD laser projectors

Product Overview

The Panasonic ET-EMT850 is a long-throw projector zoom lens for the PT-MZ16K, PT-MZ13K, and PT-MZ10K commercial LCD laser projectors. With a 4.14–7.40:1 throw ratio (16:10), this PT-MZ16K long-throw lens is built for the deepest rooms, where the projector sits far behind the audience or in a rear projection booth. It occupies the longest-throw position in the ET-EM interchangeable lens range for these projectors. Use it when room depth exceeds the reach of the mid-throw ET-EMT750.

Product Description

Engineered for Panasonic's 10,000-to-16,000-lumen class PT-MZ16K/MZ13K/MZ10K LCD laser projectors, the ET-EMT850 varies projection distance across a 90.3–162.6mm focal range at an f/1.85–2.39 aperture. Throw ratio is 4.14–7.40:1 in 16:10, 4.12–7.40:1 in 16:9, and 4.93–8.70:1 in 4:3, suiting large auditoriums, houses of worship, and broadcast environments with long projection distances. As with any interchangeable optic, confirm the throw ratio against your room depth and screen width before ordering. For other throw ranges on the same projectors, compare the mid-throw ET-EMT750, the standard-throw ET-EMS650, and the short-throw ET-EMW500.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which projectors is the ET-EMT850 compatible with? It is designed for the Panasonic PT-MZ16KL, PT-MZ13KL, and PT-MZ10KL LCD laser projectors and is not cross-compatible with other Panasonic lens families such as the ET-D3LE (3DLP) or ET-DLE (1DLP) series.

When should I choose the ET-EMT850 over the ET-EMT750? Choose the ET-EMT850 (4.14–7.40:1) when the projector must sit farther from the screen than the ET-EMT750 (2.10–4.14:1) can reach, such as in very deep auditoriums or rear projection booths.

Can the lens be installed in the field? Yes. The PT-MZ-series projectors accept interchangeable lenses, so the optic can be fitted at installation or during a later change. Follow Panasonic's lens installation and registration procedure.

What warranty and support apply? The lens is covered under Panasonic's applicable accessory/Pro AV warranty; terms vary. Contact Creation Networks for current warranty details and compatibility confirmation for your projector.
