Yes, the Panasonic ET-D75LE5 fixed lens is compatible with the Panasonic PT-DZ8700U 10,600 lumens projector. The ET-D75LE5 is specifically designed to work with several Panasonic projector models, including the PT-DZ8700U.

For the PT-DZ8700U, which has a native resolution of 1920x1200 (WUXGA) and a 16:10 aspect ratio, the ET-D75LE5 lens provides a throw ratio of 0.70:1. This means it’s a short-throw lens, allowing you to project a large image from a relatively short distance.

Some key details about the ET-D75LE5 lens when used with the PT-DZ8700U:

•It’s a fixed lens, meaning it doesn’t zoom

•It has power focus capability

•The lens weighs 13.2 lbs (6 kg)

•It’s 13.87” (35.2 cm) long

With this lens, to project a 100” diagonal image using the PT-DZ8700U, you would need to place the projector approximately 4’-11” (1.5 m) from the screen.

It’s worth noting that while the lens is often referred to as an “SXGA+ .8:1 Lens,” the actual throw ratio varies slightly depending on the specific projector model it’s used with. For the PT-DZ8700U, which is a WUXGA projector, the throw ratio is 0.70:1
