Sony VPLL-Z3009 Standard Throw Projector Lens: Compatible with VPL-F755HZ VPL-F750HZ VPL-F655HZ

Sony Original Lens VPLL-Z3009 is a genuine optical accessory for Sony professional projectors. It is a standard throw lens with a throw ratio of 0.85-1.0:1, designed for Z3-series inch panels. The original compatibility list covers 5 projector models; simply verify the projector model and panel size before installation—no adapter rings needed. The value of an original lens isn't in a few extra rows of specs, but in the fact that it is calibrated at the factory to the optical path and mount of that series: once installed, the image circle, edge illumination, and focus travel all match design values, so you don't need keystone correction to compensate for image quality.

1. Lens Specifications

Brand	Sony
Lens Model	VPLL-Z3009
Throw Ratio	0.85-1.0:1
Product Type	Standard Throw
Compatible Panel	Z3-series inch
Covered Models	5
Warranty	12 months; non-human damage covered by after-sales service, based on the date on the shipping document

The above specifications are subject to the original manufacturer's specifications. For mechanical dimensions, flange focal distance, and mount type not shown in the spec table, please verify with us based on your projector model—ordering based on similar model numbers carries the risk of incompatibility.

2. Converting Throw Ratio to Installation Distance

Throw ratio is the ratio of installation distance to image width. This original lens is zoom (0.85-1.0:1), so the same image size corresponds to a range of distances; installation anywhere within this range will achieve focus.

Image Size	Image Width	Required Installation Distance
100 inches	2.15 m	Approx. 1.83 – 2.15 m
120 inches	2.58 m	Approx. 2.19 – 2.58 m
150 inches	3.22 m	Approx. 2.74 – 3.22 m
200 inches	4.30 m	Approx. 3.65 – 4.30 m

The above are net distances from the lens front to the screen, excluding rear ventilation and cabling space. Calculated for 16:10 aspect ratio; actual values subject to on-site measurement and the original manufacturer's manual.

Image quality differs at the two ends of the zoom range: closer to the near end the image is brighter with slightly softer edges; closer to the far end the edges are sharper with slightly reduced brightness. Where space permits, we recommend positioning in the middle of the range; after installation, first find the sharpest position on the focus ring, then fine-tune the shift.

3. Compatible Models (5)

The table below is taken from the original manufacturer's compatibility list; brightness and resolution are filled in from the model database, with "—" where unavailable—no speculation.

Model	Brightness	Resolution
VPL-F755HZ	7300 lumens	WUXGA, 1920 x 1200
VPL-F750HZ	7300 lumens	WUXGA, 1920 x 1200
VPL-F655HZ	6000 lumens	WUXGA, 1920 x 1200
VPL-F630WZ	6000 lumens	WXGA, 1280 x 800
VPL-F436HZ	—	—

For models not on the list, please send us a photo of the projector nameplate and the existing lens for verification—same-generation platforms often share mounts, but ordering based on similar model numbers is a risk not worth taking.

Throw Ratios Across Model Series

The same VPLL-Z3009 mounted on the following series has different nominal throw ratios; selection must be based on the actual series of your projector.

Model Series	Throw Ratio
—	0.85-1.0:1

4. Three Things to Confirm Before Replacement

• Panel size must match. The VPLL-Z3009 is designed for Z3-series inch panels. Machines with different panel sizes or resolutions may physically mount, but the image circle and edge illumination will suffer.
• Calculate installation distance first. This lens has a nominal throw ratio of 0.85-1.0:1; use the table in Section 2 to match your venue dimensions. Prime lenses have no margin; even with zoom, allow 10–20 cm at both ends.
• Verify the mount and locking. The original lens is calibrated to the mount of that series; after installation you must hear the lock engage. Image skew or soft edges are usually due to incomplete locking, not a problem with the lens itself.

If unsure, take a photo of the projector nameplate and the existing lens nameplate and send them to us—verification against the actual hardware is the safest approach.
