Description
The Sony VPLL-3003 is a genuine Sony projection lens for the VPL-F series installation projectors. It covers a throw ratio of 0.33:1, so the projector can be positioned at the distance the room actually allows rather than the distance a fixed lens would dictate.
Powered focus and powered corner correction are driven from the projector's own menu, so the lens can be trimmed after installation without a ladder. Lens shift lets the projector sit off the screen centre line - tucked above a ceiling void or behind a bulkhead - without resorting to keystone correction, which always costs resolution. At 0.33:1 this is the lens to reach for when the projector has to be mounted almost against the screen wall - a small meeting room, a shallow gallery bay or a rear-projection cabinet - and it will fill an 80 to 300 inch image from that position.
Sony supplies its VPL installation projectors as a body plus a separately chosen lens, so the same chassis can be dropped into a lecture theatre, a boardroom or an atrium and still hit the screen exactly. Choosing the lens is therefore part of the room design, not an afterthought. If you are unsure which lens suits your throw distance and screen width, send us the room dimensions and we will work it through with you before you order.
Key features
Ultra short 0.33:1 throw
Fills an 80 to 300 inch screen from very close in, which suits shallow rooms, rear-projection cabinets and shadow-free presenting positions.
Powered focus and corner correction
Focus and corner correction are motorised, so a ceiling-mounted projector can be trimmed from the remote instead of from a ladder.
ARC-F optics
Sony's ARC-F (Aspherical Front Lens with Corrective Focus) design holds focus across the whole image, not just the centre.
Built for the VPL-F chassis
Fits Sony's current VPL-FHZ80 and VPL-FHZ85 3LCD laser installation projectors as a straight bayonet swap.

Planning from a real wall? Use the projector screen size calculator to upload a photo, preview the image to scale and find projectors that fit within your maximum available space. Replacing an existing projector? The projector replacement calculator checks whether this lens covers the ratio your current mount needs.
Distances are lens-to-screen, calculated from the manufacturer's stated throw ratio; allow for lens shift and mounting hardware. Always confirm against the manufacturer's installation guide before fixing mounts.
