FAQ
Why choose a Wide Fix lens over a zoom lens?
A fixed lens typically offers superior optical quality and a larger effective aperture compared to zoom equivalents, producing sharper and brighter images. It is best suited to installations where the projector position is fixed and fine zoom adjustment is not required.
Does the LS1ST3 support lens shift?
No. The Wide Fix lens does not include lens shift, so the projector must be positioned carefully to centre the image on the screen. This trade-off allows for a simpler, higher-quality optical design.
