This Laowa Proteus 2X Anamorphic 2-Lens Bundle Set A pairs two essential focal lengths — 35mm and 60mm — to give filmmakers ready-made options for cinematic storytelling. The lenses deliver a true 2X anamorphic squeeze for widescreen compositions and feature a silver flare variant. They come with an Arri PL mount as standard and include Canon EF bayonets for wider camera compatibility.
The 35mm T2 lens covers a classic wide-angle field of view that works well for establishing shots, landscapes, and dynamic framing. In contrast, the 60mm T2 lens offers a tighter perspective suited to portraiture, detailed close-ups, and emotive scenes. Together, they span a practical range of creative needs on set.
Both lenses share a bright T2 aperture. This ensures reliable low-light performance and gives filmmakers precise control over depth of field. The lenses also produce a pleasant, oval-shaped bokeh that enhances the traditional anamorphic cinematic aesthetic.
The Proteus series offers amber, blue, or silver flare options so you can tailor the lens flare to your creative preference. This bundle is offered with the silver flare variant, while the lens design itself supports the other flare characteristics if you choose different variants. Filmmakers can use flare choice to influence highlights and overall image mood.
These lenses are engineered for Super 35 sensors. If you need wider coverage, you can achieve full-frame coverage by using a 1.4X extender. The set ships with a robust Arri PL mount as the standard configuration. For flexibility across camera systems, Canon EF bayonet mounts are included for each lens, enabling straightforward mounting on EF-compatible bodies.
The Proteus lenses feature durable all-metal construction that meets professional standards. They provide smooth and precise manual focus control for repeatable focus pulls and careful composition. In addition, the aperture rings are de-clicked, allowing for silent, continuous exposure adjustments during takes. Each lens also includes a lens support foot to help secure the lens on a rig or matte box setup.
