The Panasonic ET-ELT02 Zoom Lens is a precision optic designed to expand the throwing capabilities of compatible Panasonic projectors. With a focal-length range from 158 mm to 221 mm and a bright f/2.9 aperture, this lens delivers versatile projection options across a variety of room sizes and screen dimensions. Its compact, lightweight build makes installation straightforward, while the zoom and focus controls provide fast, accurate image setup for everything from classrooms and conference rooms to large venues and event spaces. Whether you need to project close-up details or fill a large screen from a distance, the ET-ELT02 gives you the flexibility and image quality you demand in a single, dependable lens.

• Versatile throw distance and precise zoom: The ET-ELT02 covers a substantial focal-length range of 158 mm to 221 mm, enabling easy adjustment of projection distance to suit different room layouts and screen sizes. The approximately 1.4:1 zoom ratio lets you switch from a wide-to-medium throw in seconds, so you can reconfigure an existing space for a different presentation without moving the projector. Smooth, tactile zoom and focus rings let you dial in the exact framing you need, while maintaining sharpness across the entire image.
• Bright, high-contrast imagery: With a fast maximum aperture of f/2.9, this lens is optimized to deliver bright, high-contrast images even in rooms with ambient light. The lens design emphasizes edge-to-edge sharpness and consistent brightness across the zoom range, helping to minimize hot spots and maintain uniform illumination from corner to corner. For educators, business presenters, and event hosts, the ET-ELT02 makes every slide, video, and movie look crisp, vivid, and engaging on screen.
• User-friendly design and installation: Built with installers in mind, the ET-ELT02 offers a compact, lightweight footprint that makes ceiling-mount or shelf setups straightforward. The lens integrates with compatible Panasonic projectors via standard lens mounts, reducing tooling needs and downtime. Intuitive alignment marks, smooth manual controls, and reliable mechanical construction ensure dependable performance in daily use. This lens is designed for quick swap-ins or upgrades, helping you minimize downtime during maintenance or room reconfigurations.
• Creative flexibility for diverse venues: From small classrooms to large auditoriums and multi-use spaces, the ET-ELT02 gives you the creative freedom to optimize throw distance and image size without sacrificing image quality. The zoom range supports a wide variety of installations—boardroom presentations, training sessions, theater-style showings, trade show booths, and museum displays—allowing you to tailor projection to audience viewing angles and screen dimensions. Its compact design and reliable optics enable more flexible mounting options and easier service in tight spaces.
• Durable construction and reliable maintenance: Expect solid, purpose-built engineering from Panasonic. The ET-ELT02 is designed for daily operation in education, corporate, and professional environments, with robust housing and precision optics that resist wear over time. Regular cleaning and careful handling keep the lens performing at peak brightness and sharpness, while its sealed—or close-to-sealed—optical path helps curb dust intrusion. This translates to fewer service calls and more consistent performance across long-term projector deployments.
