Description

Become a master of cinematic storytelling with the Laowa Proteus 85mm T2 2x Anamorphic Cine Lens for PL Mount/Canon EF. This high-quality, professional lens is a versatile and innovative addition to any filmmaker\'s toolkit. Designed specifically for Super 35 sensors, it offers a 2X constant squeeze ratio, delivering exceptional image quality and classic anamorphic characteristics such as elliptical bokeh and signature flares. The Laowa Proteus Series is the result of two years of collaboration with cinematographers, integrating state-of-the-art technology with classic anamorphic features to deliver remarkable image quality. This lens supports a wide range of cinematic productions, regardless of resolution or aspect ratio. The patented front anamorphic design of the Laowa Proteus 2X Anamorphic Series ensures robust optical composition, blending modern image sharpness with vintage anamorphic characteristics. The constant 2X squeeze ratio is delicately designed to exemplify the classic wide-screen anamorphic look, working comfortably with 4:3 or 6:5 sensors. This allows for a 2.66:1 or 2.4:1 image after de-squeeze, which can be cropped to a 2.39:1 with minimal loss of resolution. The large aperture ranges from T2 to T22, supporting filming in all light conditions and satisfying dynamic on-set needs. The lens delivers ravishing shallow depth of field at a large aperture and renders organic waterfall focus roll-off in the background, a distinct anamorphic characteristic highly desired by the film industry. The Laowa Proteus Series offers outstanding sharpness with excellent color rendition and contrast. Even when shooting wide open, the chromatic aberration is well-controlled. The minimum focusing distance of 55cm (1.8 feet) allows for super close-up shots, adding variety to your framing and storytelling. The Proteus Series creates elliptical bokeh in the out-of-focus areas, providing a prominently anamorphic look to your shots. With flare color options of classic sci-fi blue, warm and elegant amber, and neutral silver, you can set the perfect tone for your film. The Proteus lenses feature low focus breathing, supporting a subtle change in the angle of view when the focusing distance is altered. This lens also offers a back focus adjustment mechanism, 0.8 Mod Gear for both aperture and focus gear, and a 300-degree focus throw for a finer and more accurate degree of change in focal distance. With a super 35+ sensor coverage and compatibility with some full frame cameras and most Super 35 cameras, the Laowa Proteus 85mm T2 2x Anamorphic Cine Lens for PL Mount/Canon EF is a durable and versatile lens that will elevate your filmmaking to new heights.
