Here are some recommendations when estimating throw distance:
When using a fixed lens (throw ratio): Use a single calculation for a given combination of projector and non-zoom lens.
When using a lens that has a zoom feature: Use two throw ratio calculations that provide the range from closest distance (minimum) to farthest distance (maximum) for a given combination of projector and zoom lens.
