Laowa Proteus 2X 100mm T2 silver flare, feet scale, anamorphic PL/EF

Laowa Proteus 2X Anamorphic 100mm T2 Cine Lens for Arri PL/Canon EF (Silver Flare, Feet Scale)

The Laowa Proteus series is a range of professional 2X anamorphic lenses for Super 35 sensors, with a constant 2X squeeze factor and T2 aperture across the range. The front-anamorphic design combines modern sharpness with the classic anamorphic look of oval bokeh and distinctive flares. This 100mm version has silver flare, more neutral, changing tint with the light source, and a focus scale in feet.

The 2X squeeze is kept at every focusing distance, avoiding "anamorphic mumps"; on 4:3 and 6:5 sensors the full frame can be used after de-squeeze or cropped to 2.39:1. Focus breathing is low, and Super 35+ coverage up to 21.6 mm sensor height suits most Super 35 cameras including ARRI ALEXA 35; full frame is covered with the Laowa expander. The cine housing has the same gear position across the series, 0.8 mod gears for focus and iris, a 300° focus throw, back-focus adjustment on the camera, a 105 mm filter thread and 114 mm front diameter for standard matte boxes. The Arri PL mount is fitted, an interchangeable Canon EF mount and a lens support are included.
