Laowa Proteus Zoom 2x Anamorphic 45-85mm T2.9
Summary
Laowa Proteus 2x Anamorphic Zoom Series — the lightest, most compact, and most affordable 2x anamorphic zoom lenses designed for S35 sensors. With a constant 2x squeeze throughout the 3x zoom range across two focal lengths (26-45mm & 45-85mm), they weigh only 1.5kg and measure just 19cm, making them the most lightweight in their class. Designed for effortless mobility, these compact lenses allow you to shoot in tight spaces and reduce overall payload, giving filmmakers the freedom to move without limitations. With an impressive 26mm 2x anamorphic field of view, it supports close-up shots with a minimum focusing distance of 50cm and offers elliptical bokeh along with signature flares in blue, amber, and silver options. PL mount in default, an interchangeable EF bayonet is included in the package. A hard case is provided. Imperial / Metric versions are available.
