A projection lens for use with LCD or DMD panels is provided. The lens has three lens units, the first unit having a negative power and at least one plastic lens element having two aspheric surfaces, a second lens unit having a negative power or a weak positive power and at least one color correcting doublet, and a third lens unit having a positive power and an aspheric surface either on a glass element or on a weak plastic element. The projection lens has a back focal length to focal length ratio of at least 3.0, the ratio being achieved by arranging the first, second, and third lens units so that: D12/f0>1.0, D23/f0>0.7, and 1.5<(D12+D23+BFL)/BFL<4.0 where: f0 is the effective focal length of the combination of the first, second, and third lens units; BFL is the back focal length of the combination of the first, second, and third lens units; D12 is the distance between the first and second lens units; and D23 is the distance between the second and third lens units.
