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 features a revolutionary optical design that results in a surprisingly lightweight body.
Laowa lens designers have developed a unique approach to ensure that the Proteus zooms remain as compact and lightweight as possible, without compromising on 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 lens) stands out with a significantly reduced average weight of approximately 1.5kg and an average length of 19cm.

This compact design not only reduces the burden on 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.

Increased portability for dynamic set-ups
The reduced weight of the Proteus zooms allows cinematographers and camera operators to easily switch between different dynamic set-ups.
This freedom from 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 via 2 parfocal design 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, which ensures focus is maintained even when the zoom factor is changed. This allows cinematographers to perform dynamic shots, such as Tarantino's favorite crash zooms and dolly zooms, effortlessly, while maintaining the unique 2x look that is characteristic of anamorphic lenses.

Constant T2.9 aperture throughout the entire zoom range
Both lenses in the Proteus Zoom series feature a constant T2.9 aperture throughout the entire zoom range.
This feature helps prevent any light loss, ensuring consistent brightness levels when changing focal lengths.

Excellent sharpness even at T2.9 Wide Open
With impressive sharpness and contrast even when using the wide-angle lens, the high level of optical performance of the Proteus zooms not only meets the demanding requirements of film production, but also makes life easier for VFX, providing clear, detailed images that make post-production tasks 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 adapts its colors according to the light source, offering a versatile flare effect.
Flare colors are conveniently indicated on the flare ring on the lens barrel, ensuring easy reading and selection
