Laowa Proteus 2X Anamorphic 60mm T2 – Amber flare option with Arri PL and Canon EF mounts

The Laowa Proteus 2X Anamorphic 60mm T2 delivers a telephoto perspective tailored for cinematic portraits, tight close-ups, and detail-driven storytelling. It uses a 2X anamorphic squeeze to create widescreen images with pronounced horizontal compression and characteristic oval bokeh, and it ships with an amber flare option as specified.

Fast aperture and optical performance

With a bright T2 aperture, the lens performs well in low-light situations and gives you precise control over depth of field. Its optical design focuses on delivering sharp images, faithful color reproduction, and minimal distortion across the frame. In addition, the lens keeps chromatic aberration to a minimum, preserving image clarity.

Creative flare and bokeh choices

The Proteus 60mm produces attractive oval-shaped bokeh and offers selectable flare aesthetics to shape your image. You can choose between amber, blue, or silver flare options to match the visual tone you want on set. These flare choices let you influence highlights and overall mood without changing fundamental optical characteristics.

Professional build and controls

Built for professional productions, the lens features rugged construction. It provides smooth manual focus and reliable aperture control for consistent operation during shoots. As a result, you get repeatable focus pulls and dependable handling in demanding production environments.

The Proteus 60mm is optimized for Super 35 sensors. However, when paired with a 1.4X extender, the lens can also cover full-frame sensors. The lens ships standardized with a robust Arri PL mount and is supplied with a Canon EF bayonet for additional versatility across camera systems.
