Sharp NEC lists the current compatible projectors for this lens as: Sharp A155U; Sharp A175U; Sharp A201U. The same page lists these legacy models as supported: NEC PA1505UL; NEC PA1705UL. Check the lens against your exact projector model before ordering — a lens fitted to a series it is not listed for will not mount or will not cover the panel.

Zoom and focus are motorised. Recommended screen size is 60 to 500 inches.

Sharp NEC also sells an identical-optics NEC-branded twin of this lens; the distributor feed row for this SKU carries the NEC article number rather than the Sharp order code XP56ZL, so confirm which order code you are buying.
