The Venus Optics Laowa Proteus 2x Anamorphic 28 & 100mm T2 Lens Bundle (PL Mount with Interchangeable EF Bayonet) is a series of anamorphic lenses with a constant 2X squeeze ratio. Built with reliable anamorphic glassand robust composition, the Proteus is a modern piece of art to deliver a vintage anamorphic look and unique character.

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.

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 de-squeeze. It provides room for cropping to a golden 2.39:1 aspect ratio. The 2x squeeze ratio yields an ultra-widescreen cinematic look desired by the film industry. The squeeze ratio remains constant at any focusing distance to avoid anamorphic mumps.

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 a waterfall-like focus roll-off.

Sharpness

Impressive sharpness and contrast at wide-open, Laowa Proteus Series satisfies demanding film production requirements.

Close Focusing Distance

The lens can focus at a minimum distance of 32.3" 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.

Low Focus Breathing

Both changes in the angle of view and framing are kept at a minimum when adjusting the focus.

Sensor Coverage

Having S35+ sensor coverage, Laowa Proteus supports the ARRI ALEXA 35 sensor in 2.39:1 ratio and RED V-RAPTOR sensor in 7K 6:5 ANA. With an optional 1.4x full-frame adapter, Proteus can cover full-frame sensors with sharpness and image quality.

Unified Gear Position

The unified gear position allows users to switch lenses quickly and without readjustment on the focus gear.

0.8 MOD Gears

Industry-standard 0.8 MOD gears are installed on both the aperture and focus rings.

Flange Back Adjustment

The lens allows users to adjust the back focus easily.
