Laowa Proteus Series is the latest and the most accessible professional anamorphic series for Super 35 sensors with a 2X constant squeeze ratio. This series comes in 4 focal lengths and features a universal T2 aperture, delivering excellent image quality and consistent classic anamorphic characteristics including elliptical bokeh and signature flares with blue, amber and silver options.It supports close-up shots with a 55cm minimum focusing distance and offers modern conveniences to meet dynamic on-set needs.Classic Anamorphic x Modern QualityFor the last 2 years, we have been working closely with cinematographers and taking their opinions seriously. We are able to adapt state-of-the-art technology, to provide classic anamorphic characters with remarkable image quality.Regardless of the resolution or aspect ratio, the Laowa Proteus series can always support any kind of cinematic production.Patented Anamorphic DesignLaowa Proteus 2X Anamorphic Series adopted a front anamorphic design for a robust optical composition. It can deliver the image sharpness of modern quality while retaining the vintage look of anamorphic characteristics including elliptical bokeh and signature flares.Constant 2X Squeeze RatioDelicately designed with a constant 2X squeeze ratio to exemplify the classic wide-screen anamorphic look for cinema use. It works comfortably with 4:3 or 6:5 sensors which are usually defaulted in professional cinema cameras to deliver a 2.66:1 or 2.4:1 image after de-squeeze. Cinematographers and filmmakers can use the footage entirely or crop to a 2.39:1 with minimal loss of resolution.With the precision in optical design, the 2X squeeze ratio can be achieved in any focus distance, maintaining the relative shape of the object and avoiding anamorphic mumps.Large ApertureThe iris ranges from T2 to T22 for the entire series, supporting filming in all light conditions and satisfying dynamic on-set needs. Ravishing shallow depth of field can be created at a large aperture and the lenses can render organic waterfall focus roll-off in the background, one of the distinct anamorphic characteristics that are wildly desired by the film industry.Outstanding SharpnessThe optical performance is fine-tuned to deliver excellent color rendition and contrast. The Proteus Series can reproduce high image quality and sharpness even when shooting wide open, the chromatic aberration is also well-controlled.Close Focusing DistanceLaowa Proteus Series has a minimum focusing distance of 55cm (1.8 feet), super close-up shots can be easily captured, cinematographers can have more variety in framing for story-telling. Also, the close-up shots usually generate a shallower depth of field to the image, which adds aesthetic and cinematic vibes to the frame.Pleasant BokehCompare to 1.5X or 1.8X Anamorphic lenses, the Proteus Series can create elliptical bokeh in the out-of-focus that are thinner and longer, providing a more prominently anamorphic look to the shots.Amber, Silver & Blue Flare OptionsComes with a classic sci-fi blue, warm and elegant amber and neutral silver flare color options, cinematographers can choose the right flare color to set the tone for the film. The silver flare will change color according to the light source.Low Focus BreathingThe Proteus lenses have a subtle change in the angle of view when the focusing distance is altered. It supports filmmakers to depict a scene by shifting the focus between subjects.Work Proteus with EaseUnified Gear PositionAll Proteus lenses can be switched quickly between focal lengths to work with the same set of gears.Back focus Adjustment MechanismCalibrating the back focus with the lens mounted on the camera directly without going through a tedious shimming process.0.8 Mod GearFor both aperture and focus gear to work with the pitching.Metric or Imperial ScaleSelect your desired measurements for the focus ring.300 Degree Focus ThrowSupport a finer and more accurate degree of change in focal distance.114mm Outer Diameter & 105mm Filter ThreadDesigned to accommodate common matte box or filters.Sensor CoverageHaving a super 35+ sensor coverage and can cover up to 21.6mm sensor height, the entire series is compatible with some full frame cameras and most Super 35 cameras, including the latest Alexa 35.
