Revolutionary front anamorphic design
Unlike most anamorphic zooms on the market, which rely on heavy anamorphic adapters on the front or rear of a cine zoom lens to achieve the desired result, the Proteus 2x Anamorphic Zoom series offers a revolutionary optical design that results in a surprisingly lightweight construction.
Laowa lens designers have developed a unique approach to ensure that Proteus zooms remain as compact and lightweight as possible, without compromising impressive imagery and zoom capability.
The lightest and most compact 2x anamorphic front zooms for S35 sensors
With the needs of cinematographers in mind, the Proteus 2x Anamorphic Zoom series (26-45mm and 45-85mm T2.9 lenses) stands out with a significantly reduced average weight of approximately 1.5kg and an average length of 19cm.
This compact design not only reduces weight for cinematographers, making it easier to move between scenes, but also positions it as the most compact option among similar 2x anamorphic zoom lenses available on the market.
Greater portability for dynamic setups
The reduced weight of the Proteus zooms allows cinematographers and camera operators to easily switch between different dynamic setups.
This freedom afforded by the lightweight equipment allows them to maximize their creative expression and explore various shooting styles and techniques without being hampered by equipment limitations.
Over 3x Zoom Range with 2 Parfocal Lenses
The Proteus Zoom series offers a full zoom range from 26mm to 85mm, with a total reach of 3.27x, ideal for capturing a wide variety of shooting scenarios.
These lenses are built with a parfocal design, ensuring focus is maintained even when zooming.
This feature allows cinematographers to perform dynamic shots, such as Tarantino's favorite crash zooms and dolly zooms, effortlessly while maintaining the unique 2x look characteristic of anamorphic lenses.
Constant T2.9 aperture throughout the zoom range
Both lenses in the Proteus Zoom series feature a constant T2.9 aperture throughout the zoom range.
This feature helps prevent any light loss, ensuring consistent brightness levels as you change focal lengths.
Excellent sharpness even at the T2.9 wide open
With impressive sharpness and contrast even at wide-angle settings, the high level of optical performance of the Proteus zooms not only meets the demanding requirements of filmmaking but also facilitates the work of VFX artists, delivering clear, detailed images that make post-production easier and more effective.
3 Cinematic Flares
The Proteus 2x Anamorphic Zoom series offers a range of flare color options: classic sci-fi blue, warm and elegant amber, and neutral silver.
Cinematographers can choose the flare colors that best match the mood and tone of their scenes.
The silver flare version adjusts its colors based on the light source, offering a versatile flare effect.
The flare colors are conveniently indicated on the flare ring on the lens barrel, ensuring easy reading and selection.
