Introducing Laowa Proteus - with the optimized level of optical capability to support professional anamorphic productions. It is a series of anamorphic lenses with a constant2X 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.
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.
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 which is wildly 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 waterfall-like focus roll-off.
Outstanding Sharpness
Impressive sharpness and contrast at wide-open, Laowa Proteus Series satisfies demanding film production requirements.
Close Focus Distancing
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.
Low Focus Breathing
Both changes in the angle of view and framing are kept at minimum when adjusting the focus.
