A cutting-edge addition to the world of professional cinematography, the Laowa Proteus 45mm T2 2x Anamorphic Cine Lens for PL Mount/Canon EF, Blue, Meter, is designed to deliver superior image quality with a classic anamorphic aesthetic. This lens is part of the latest Laowa Proteus Series, specifically crafted for Super 35 sensors, offering a constant 2X squeeze ratio across all four focal lengths in the series.
The Laowa Proteus 45mm T2 lens is equipped with a universal T2 aperture, ensuring exceptional image quality under various lighting conditions. It produces classic anamorphic characteristics such as elliptical bokeh and signature flares in blue, amber, and silver options, adding a unique touch to your cinematic production.
This lens is designed with a minimum focusing distance of 55cm, enabling close-up shots and adding versatility to your storytelling. The lens's large aperture, ranging from T2 to T22, allows for filming in diverse light conditions and creates a stunning shallow depth of field.
The Laowa Proteus 45mm T2 lens is a result of two years of collaboration with cinematographers, combining state-of-the-art technology with classic anamorphic features to deliver remarkable image quality. Regardless of the resolution or aspect ratio, this lens is designed to support any cinematic production.
The patented front anamorphic design of the Laowa Proteus 2X Anamorphic Series ensures robust optical composition. It delivers modern image sharpness while retaining the vintage look of anamorphic characteristics, including elliptical bokeh and signature flares.
The lens is delicately designed with a constant 2X squeeze ratio, ideal for cinema use. It works seamlessly with 4:3 or 6:5 sensors, typically found in professional cinema cameras, delivering a 2.66:1 or 2.4:1 image after de-squeeze. This allows filmmakers to use the footage entirely or crop to a 2.39:1 with minimal loss of resolution.
The optical performance of the Proteus Series is fine-tuned to deliver excellent color rendition and contrast. Even when shooting wide open, the lens reproduces high image quality and sharpness, with well-controlled chromatic aberration.
The Proteus Series lenses come with classic sci-fi blue, warm and elegant amber, and neutral silver flare color options, allowing cinematographers to choose the right flare color to set the tone for their film. The silver flare changes color according to the light source.
The Proteus lenses feature a subtle change in the angle of view when the focusing distance is altered, supporting filmmakers in depicting a scene by shifting the focus between subjects. The lens also features a back focus adjustment mechanism, 0.8 Mod Gear for both aperture and focus gear, and a 300-degree focus throw for a finer and more accurate degree of change in focal distance.
With a 114mm outer diameter and 105mm filter thread, the lens is designed to accommodate common matte boxes or filters. The entire series has a Super 35+ sensor coverage and can cover up to 21.6mm sensor height, making it compatible with some full-frame cameras and most Super 35 cameras, including the latest Alexa 35.
