Introducing Laowa Proteus - with the optimized level of optical capability to support professional anamorphic productions. It is a series of anamorphic lenses with a constant 2X squeeze ratio. Built with reliable anamorphic glass and robust composition, the Proteus is a modern piece of art to deliver a vintage anamorphic look and unique character.
Laowa Proteus is the most affordable, high-performance professional 2X anamorphic lens for a Super 35 cine camera. This lens is with the optimized level of optical capability to support professional anamorphic productions. It is built with reliable anamorphic glass and robust composition; the Proteus is a modern piece of art to deliver a vintage anamorphic look and unique character. Proteus delivers the striking beauty of painterly waterfall bokeh, less breathing, and signature flare.
Patented Anamorphic Design
Laowa Proteus is comprised of anamorphic and spherical blocks, delivering modern image sharpness and vintage anamorphic characteristics including elliptical bokeh and signature flares at the same time.
Both anamorphic and spherical blocks are fixed, a front variable spherical glass is added to achieve focus. Similar optical design is used in Vantage Hawks, Cooke Anamorphic and Atlas Orion.
Constant 2X Squeeze Ratio
With a 2X squeeze ratio, you will have a 2.66:1 on a 4:3 sensor and a 2.4:1 on a 6:5 sensor after desqueeze. It provides room for cropping to a golden 2.39:1 aspect ratio.
The 2X squeeze ratio yields an ultra-widescreen cinematic look which is wildly desired by the film industry.
The squeeze ratio remains constant at any focusing distance to avoid anamorphic mumps.
The round shape of the subject remains the same at different focuses.
Large Aperture
  • Featuring a T2 aperture, the fast aperture supports filmmakers to shoot in low light conditions.
  • It also creates a shallow depth of field with water fall-like focus roll-off.
Outstanding Sharpness
Impressive sharpness and contrast at wide-open, Laowa Proteus Series satisfies demanding film production requirements.
Close Focusing Distance
  • Able to focus at a min. distance of 55cm (21.6 inches) away from the object.
  • Creating sharp close-up cinematic scenes at ease.
Pleasant Bokeh
  • Elliptical bokeh is produced in the out-of-focus area, which is a signature anamorphic character for the strong cinematic look.
  • The bokeh in 2X squeeze ratio is prominently thinner and longer.
Flare Colours
  • Provides classic sci-fi blue, warm and elegant amber and neutral silver flare colour options.
  • The flare of silver version will change colours according to the light source.
  • DPs can choose the flare colours to set the right tone for the vibe of the scenes.
  • Flare colours are indicated on each lens body under the focal length.
Low Focus Breathing
Both changes in the angle of view and framing are kept at minimum when adjusting the focus.
