The Sanyo LNS-M01Z is a professional-grade semi-long zoom lens designed specifically for compatibility with select large-venue Sanyo projector models. Its primary function is to extend the projection flexibility of these high-output projectors, allowing system integrators and installers to fine-tune image size and placement from a greater distance than the standard lens permits. As a 1.29x zoom lens, it offers a moderate but crucial range of adjustment, enabling precise calibration of the projected image to fit a fixed screen without physically moving the projector itself. This capability is invaluable in challenging installation environments where the projector's location is constrained by architectural features, ceiling mounts, or rigging points.

Constructed with high-quality glass optics, the lens is engineered to maintain image fidelity, sharpness, and color accuracy across its entire zoom range. It is built to handle the high light output and thermal conditions generated by professional large-venue projectors without introducing distortion or chromatic aberration. The lens features a manual zoom and focus ring, providing smooth, precise adjustments to lock in the perfect picture. Its design ensures secure mechanical and electronic integration with the host projector, maintaining reliable communication for functions like lens shift and focus memory in supported models.

This specialized lens is a critical component for custom installation projects in applications such as large auditoriums, lecture halls, houses of worship, and high-end home theaters where projection distance is fixed but screen size or placement may require optical compensation. By offering a different throw ratio than the stock lens, the LNS-M01Z expands the geometric possibilities for system designers, allowing them to select the optimal projector placement to achieve a desired screen size, ultimately ensuring a bright, crisp, and perfectly framed image.
