Laowa Proteus 2X Anamorphic 2-Lens Bundle Set B (45mm, 85mm) - Amber - Arri PL/Canon EF

Laowa Proteus 2X Anamorphic 2-Lens Bundle Set B (45mm, 85mm) — 2× Anamorphic Squeeze with Amber Flares, Arri PL / Canon EF

This Laowa Proteus 2X Anamorphic 2-Lens Bundle Set B pairs two cine lenses designed for filmmakers who want authentic anamorphic character. The set combines a natural-perspective 45mm and an expressive 85mm, both with a true 2× anamorphic squeeze. Consequently, you get cinematic widescreen framing, oval bokeh, and immersive horizontal flares. This particular bundle ships with the Amber flare option and includes Arri PL and Canon EF mount compatibility for professional workflows.

Why choose this 2-lens bundle

Use the 45mm for medium-wide scenes, narrative work, and expressive portraiture. Then switch to the 85mm for tight close-ups, intimate shots, and pronounced subject separation. Both lenses share a bright T2 aperture that supports low-light shooting and precise depth-of-field control. Together, they give you a matched pair that maintains consistent visual character across focal lengths.

Key Features

• Two focal lengths (45mm, 85mm) ideal for versatile cinematic framing
• 2X anamorphic squeeze ratio for genuine widescreen visuals
• Bright T2 aperture delivers exceptional low-light performance and cinematic depth-of-field
• Pleasant oval-shaped bokeh for striking, visually compelling storytelling
• Available flare options: Amber, Blue, or Silver to match creative style — this bundle features Amber flares
• Super 35 sensor coverage, expandable to full-frame coverage using a 1.4X extender
• Robust professional-grade construction ensuring reliability in demanding environments
• Standard PL mount supplied, with additional Canon EF bayonet included

Build, handling and compatibility

Laowa designed these lenses to meet professional demands. They use precision-engineered optics and rugged all-metal construction for reliable use on set. In addition, the lenses feature smooth manual focus and de-clicked aperture control rings, which give you tactile control during both run-and-gun and carefully staged productions.

Furthermore, the lenses target Super 35 sensors by default. However, you can expand their coverage to full-frame sensors by adding a compatible 1.4X extender. The set ships with a standard PL mount, and each lens also includes a Canon EF bayonet to support different camera systems without extensive reconfiguration.

Typical use cases

This carefully matched two-lens package fits a wide range of productions. For example:

• Commercials and branded content where anamorphic character adds cinematic polish.
• Feature films and short narratives that require consistent depth compression and expressive bokeh.
• Documentaries and interview work where the bright T2 aperture helps in low-light environments while preserving shallow depth-of-field control.
