Laowa Proteus 2X Anamorphic 2-Lens Bundle Set A (35mm, 60mm) - Amber - Arri PL/Canon EF

Laowa Proteus 2X Anamorphic 2-Lens Bundle Set A (35mm, 60mm) – True 2X Anamorphic Squeeze for Cinematic Widescreen

The Laowa Proteus 2X Anamorphic 2-Lens Bundle Set A pairs two complementary focal lengths, the 35mm and the 60mm, to give filmmakers a flexible cine kit. These lenses provide a genuine 2X anamorphic squeeze, enabling widescreen compositions and characteristic oval bokeh for cinematic storytelling. The bundle targets professional cinema production and adapts to a variety of shooting scenarios.

Two lenses for complementary perspectives

The Proteus 35mm T2 delivers a classic wide-angle field of view suitable for establishing shots, landscapes, and dynamic framing. In contrast, the Proteus 60mm T2 offers a tighter perspective that works well for portraits, detailed close-ups, and more intimate storytelling. Together, they cover a wide range of creative needs on set.

Optical character and low-light performance

Both lenses feature a bright T2 aperture, which supports low-light shooting and offers precise control over depth of field. Moreover, the 2X anamorphic squeeze creates the widescreen aesthetic many productions seek, while the optics produce pleasant, oval-shaped bokeh that enhances the cinematic look.

Flare options and sensor coverage

Each Proteus lens is available with an amber, blue, or silver flare variant, allowing filmmakers to tailor the visual flare behavior to specific creative preferences. The lenses are engineered for Super 35 sensors, and you can extend their coverage to full-frame formats when using a compatible 1.4X extender.

Mounts and compatibility

Laowa supplies the Proteus lenses with a standard PL mount for cinema cameras and includes Canon EF bayonet mounts for added versatility. This dual-mount approach makes the set suitable for multiple camera systems and simplifies integration into mixed-equipment shoots.

Build quality and handling

The Proteus lenses feature durable, all-metal construction designed for professional use. They include smooth, precise manual focus control and de-clicked aperture rings for silent and continuous iris adjustments during filming. These mechanical qualities aim to provide dependable operation in demanding production environments.
