° Patented anamorphic design
Laowa Proteus is composed of anamorphic and spherical groups, offering both modern image sharpness and vintage anamorphic characteristics, such as elliptical bokeh and characteristic flares.

° Constant anamorphic compression ratio
Both anamorphic and spherical groups are fixed, a variable front spherical glass is added to achieve focus.
A similar optical design is used in the Vantage Hawks, Cooke Anamorphic and Atlas Orion.
With a 2X compression ratio, you will have 2.66:1 on a 4:3 sensor and 2.4:1 on a 6:5 sensor after decompression.
Thus, an aspect ratio of 2.39:1 can be cropped, providing an ultra-widescreen cinematic look that is highly demanded by the film industry.
The compression ratio remains constant at any focusing distance to avoid anamorphic distortion.

° Ultra bright aperture
Thanks to the bright aperture of T2, Proteus allows filmmakers to shoot in low light conditions.
It also creates a shallow depth of field with a waterfall-like transition to out of focus.

° Crystal clarity
With impressive sharpness and contrast even at maximum aperture, the Laowa Proteus series satisfies the demands of filmmaking.

° Short minimum focus distance
Able to focus as close as 55cm (21.6in) from object.
Easily create sharp, close-up cinematic scenes.

° Flare color options
The Proteus range, like the Nanomorph range already, is available in three different flare colours, suitable for different film genres: classic sci-fi blue, warm and elegant amber and neutral silver.
The flare of the silver version changes color depending on the light source.
The colors of the flare are indicated on each lens body under the focal length.
