Sharp XP-60ZL – 1.05-1.41 Standard-Throw Motorized Zoom Lens

Product Overview

The Sharp XP-60ZL is a motorized zoom lens with a 1.05-1.41:1 throw ratio, designed for the Sharp XP-X141Q and XP-X171Q professional installation projectors. This standard-throw lens covers the mid-range projection distance category, suited for larger conference rooms, classrooms, and small auditoriums where the projector is installed further from the screen than a typical short-throw configuration allows. All zoom, focus, and lens shift adjustments are fully motorized, enabling remote fine-tuning after ceiling installation without physical access to the projector.

Product Description

The XP-60ZL sits in the Sharp XP motorized lens lineup between the XP-59ZL (0.74-1.08:1) and the XP-61ZL (1.40-2.11:1), making it appropriate for rooms requiring slightly more projection distance than the XP-59ZL provides. At a 100-inch wide screen (approximately 7.2 ft in 16:10 format), the XP-60ZL positions the projector between approximately 7.6 and 10.2 feet from the screen surface. This range covers many standard ceiling-mount installations in corporate and educational settings.

The lens weighs 6.4 lbs (2.91 kg) and uses a focal length range of f=18.78-25.30mm with F:1.90-2.09 aperture. Like all XP series lenses, it mounts directly to the projector body and is secured by a lens anti-theft screw. The XP-60ZL is sold separately from the projector and must be specified as a separate line item in AV integration projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which projectors is the XP-60ZL compatible with?
The XP-60ZL is designed for the Sharp XP-X141Q and XP-X171Q professional installation projectors only.

How does the XP-60ZL differ from the XP-59ZL?
The XP-60ZL (1.05-1.41:1) requires the projector to be placed further from the screen than the XP-59ZL (0.74-1.08:1). Use the XP-60ZL when room depth or ceiling geometry prevents a shorter throw distance. The throw ratio ranges of these two lenses overlap slightly near 1.05-1.08:1, so either lens is technically viable in that narrow range.

Is this lens sold with the projector?
No. The XP-60ZL is sold separately and must be specified alongside the XP-X141Q or XP-X171Q projector body in AV system designs.

Can this lens be used for edge-blended multi-projector arrays?
Yes. When multiple XP-X141Q or XP-X171Q projectors are configured in an edge-blended array, each projector requires its own lens. The XP-60ZL can be used across all units in an array provided the throw distance and room geometry are consistent.

Where can I purchase the XP-60ZL?
Available at Creation Networks, an authorized Sharp commercial AV reseller.
