About Venus Proteus Cine Lens

It's time to elevate your cinematic production with the Laowa Proteus 2-Lens Bundle, featuring the 45mm and 85mm T2 2x Anamorphic Cine Lenses for PL Mount/Canon EF. These lenses are part of the latest and most accessible professional anamorphic series designed specifically for Super 35 sensors, boasting a constant 2X squeeze ratio across all focal lengths.

The Laowa Proteus series delivers superior image quality, consistent classic anamorphic characteristics, and a universal T2 aperture. Enjoy the signature elliptical bokeh and distinctive flares available in blue, amber, and silver options, adding a unique touch to your cinematic creations.

Designed with modern conveniences in mind, these lenses support close-up shots with a minimum focusing distance of 55cm, meeting dynamic on-set needs. The Proteus series is the result of two years of collaboration with cinematographers, blending state-of-the-art technology with classic anamorphic characters to deliver remarkable image quality.

The patented front anamorphic design of the Laowa Proteus 2X Anamorphic Series ensures robust optical composition, delivering sharp, modern image quality while retaining the vintage look of anamorphic characteristics. The constant 2X squeeze ratio is delicately designed to exemplify the classic wide-screen anamorphic look for cinema use, working comfortably with 4:3 or 6:5 sensors.

The iris ranges from T2 to T22 for the entire series, supporting filming in all light conditions and satisfying dynamic on-set needs. The Proteus Series can reproduce high image quality and sharpness even when shooting wide open, with well-controlled chromatic aberration.

The Laowa Proteus Series also offers a minimum focusing distance of 55cm, enabling easy capture of super close-up shots and adding variety to your framing for storytelling. The lenses can create elliptical bokeh in the out-of-focus areas, providing a prominently anamorphic look to your shots.

Choose from classic sci-fi blue, warm and elegant amber, and neutral silver flare color options to set the tone for your film. The Proteus lenses have a subtle change in the angle of view when the focusing distance is altered, supporting filmmakers to depict a scene by shifting the focus between subjects.

The Proteus lenses are designed with a unified gear position, back focus adjustment mechanism, and 0.8 Mod Gear for both aperture and focus gear to work with the pitching. Select your desired measurements for the focus ring, and enjoy a finer and more accurate degree of change in focal distance with a 300-degree focus throw.

Designed to accommodate common matte box or filters, these lenses have a 114mm outer diameter and 105mm filter thread. With a super 35+ sensor coverage and the ability to 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.

In conclusion, the Laowa Proteus 2-Lens Bundle with 45mm and 85mm T2 2x Anamorphic Cine Lens for PL Mount/Canon EF is a versatile and high-quality choice for any cinematographer or filmmaker looking to enhance their production quality.
