Laowa Proteus 2x S35 Anamorphic 2-Lens Kit Overview

2x Anamorphic Zoom Kit

The Laowa Proteus 26-85mm T2.9 2x S35 Anamorphic Zoom Kit from Venus Optics includes the 26-45mm and 45-85mm lenses, covering a wide 26-85mm range with a 3.27x zoom ratio. Designed for Super 35 sensors, this lightweight and compact kit is perfect for handheld, stabilizer work, and fast-paced productions. Both lenses feature a constant T2.9 aperture, a parfocal design, and minimal breathing, delivering the expressive, high-quality anamorphic look that cinematographers demand. A hard case is included for secure transport and storage.

Compact & Lightweight Design

  • The 26-45mm lens is 18.9 cm in length, while the 45-85mm lens is 19 cm, making them some of the lightest front anamorphic zooms available.
  • Weighing around 1.49 kg each, these lenses are highly portable without compromising performance.

Super 35+ Sensor Coverage

A 31.9mm image circle allows both lenses to cover a variety of Super 35 camera sensors, including the ARRI ALEXA 35 Open Gate and RED V-RAPTOR 7K 6:5.

Parfocal Design with Minimal Breathing

  • Maintains sharp focus while zooming, allowing for smooth zoom transitions.
  • Features minimal breathing and distortion, ensuring a consistent cinematic look.

Constant T2.9 Aperture

The Proteus zoom series maintains a T2.9 maximum aperture across the entire zoom range, ensuring optimal exposure and impressive sharpness, even in challenging lighting conditions.

Superior Optical Performance

  • Minimal aberration ensures high image quality without color fringing, even at T2.9.
  • Smooth focus roll-off delivers a natural transition between sharp and soft areas, enhancing the anamorphic aesthetic.

Short Focus Distance

  • 26-45mm: Minimum focus distance of 48 cm for close-up shots.
  • 45-85mm: Minimum focus distance of 88 cm, allowing for a stronger compression effect.

ARRI PL and Canon EF Mounts

This Proteus zoom includes a native ARRI PL mount that can be swapped out with the included Canon EF mount and separately available interchangeable Canon RF, Nikon Z, Sony E, and L mounts.

Optional 1.4x Expander

Use these Proteus zooms with the separately available 1.4x expander to cover full-frame sensor cameras without any noticeable effect in resolution.

Smooth Focus Roll-Off

The 2x squeeze ratio renders an oval bokeh that gives an artistic touch, and the organic focus roll-off creates an appealing cinematic look.

77mm Filter Thread

Use the front thread to attach a 77mm filter directly to the lens, saving the weight of a matte box on your camera rig.

0.8 MOD Gears

Industry-standard 0.8 MOD gears are installed on the focus, iris, and zoom rings.
