The Christie 140-100102-01 A05 is a specialized ultra short-throw zoom projection lens designed for high-brightness digital cinema and large venue projectors, specifically within Christie's G-Series or similar high-performance models. This lens, identified by its "A05" suffix and "G Projector Lens" designation, is engineered for installations where space is extremely constrained, enabling the projector to be positioned very close to the screen while still filling it with a large, bright image. The 1.2-1.5:1 zoom ratio provides a modest but critical range of adjustability, allowing installers to fine-tune the image size for perfect screen fit from a fixed, ultra-short throw distance. This capability is indispensable in tight projection booths, retrofitted cinema spaces, domed simulation environments, and architectural installations where a long throw is physically impossible.

Constructed with large-aperture optics, this lens is built to handle the intense luminous flux from high-output xenon or laser light sources without compromising image quality. The precision-ground glass elements with advanced multi-layer coatings maximize light transmission, ensure uniform illumination, and maintain accurate color fidelity across the entire projected field. The robust, all-metal barrel provides essential protection for the delicate internal optics against dust, thermal stress, and vibration, guaranteeing long-term alignment and consistent performance. Smooth manual zoom and focus rings offer precise adjustment during installation, enabling technicians to achieve a sharp, pixel-accurate image on the screen.

As a dedicated component of Christie's professional lens ecosystem, it attaches securely to compatible G-Series projectors via a proprietary mounting system. Its ultra short-throw characteristic fundamentally influences system design, often allowing for smaller booth construction and can reduce the required projector brightness for a given screen size due to minimal light loss over the very short distance. By delivering exceptional optical performance in the most space-limited scenarios, the Christie 140-100102-01 A05 lens empowers system integrators to deploy top-tier projection technology in challenging environments, ensuring audiences experience bright, sharp, and immersive visuals from remarkably short projection distances.
