It's time to elevate your cinematic production with the Laowa Proteus 35mm T2 2x Anamorphic Cine Lens for PL Mount/Canon EF. This lens, part of the latest and most accessible professional anamorphic series from Laowa, is specifically designed for Super 35 sensors and boasts a constant 2x squeeze ratio. Available in four distinct focal lengths, the Laowa Proteus series features a universal T2 aperture, ensuring exceptional image quality and consistent classic anamorphic characteristics. These include the sought-after elliptical bokeh and signature flares, available in blue, amber, and silver options. The Laowa Proteus lens supports close-up shots with a minimum focusing distance of 55cm, offering modern conveniences to meet dynamic on-set needs. This lens is the result of two years of collaboration with cinematographers, incorporating state-of-the-art technology to provide classic anamorphic characters with remarkable image quality. The patented anamorphic design of the Laowa Proteus 2X Anamorphic Series utilizes a front anamorphic design for a robust optical composition. This design delivers the image sharpness of modern quality while retaining the vintage look of anamorphic characteristics. The Laowa Proteus lens is delicately designed with a constant 2X squeeze ratio to exemplify the classic wide-screen anamorphic look for cinema use. It works comfortably with 4:3 or 6:5 sensors, delivering a 2.66:1 or 2.4:1 image after de-squeeze. This allows cinematographers and filmmakers to use the footage entirely or crop to a 2.39:1 with minimal loss of resolution. The iris ranges from T2 to T22 for the entire series, supporting filming in all light conditions and satisfying dynamic on-set needs. The optical performance is fine-tuned to deliver excellent color rendition and contrast, reproducing high image quality and sharpness even when shooting wide open. The Laowa Proteus series also offers a minimum focusing distance of 55cm, allowing for super close-up shots and more variety in framing for storytelling. The close-up shots usually generate a shallower depth of field to the image, adding aesthetic and cinematic vibes to the frame. The Proteus series can create elliptical bokeh in the out-of-focus areas that are thinner and longer, providing a more prominently anamorphic look to the shots. It also comes with a 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 the 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. All Proteus lenses can be switched quickly between focal lengths to work with the same set of gears. The Laowa Proteus 35mm T2 2x Anamorphic Cine Lens for PL Mount/Canon EF is designed to accommodate common matte box or filters with a 114mm outer diameter and 105mm filter thread. It 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. In conclusion, the Laowa Proteus 35mm T2 2x Anamorphic Cine Lens for PL Mount/Canon EF is a versatile, high-quality lens that combines classic anamorphic characteristics with modern quality, making it an essential tool for any cinematographer or filmmaker.
