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.

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.

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 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.
