Laowa Proteus Flex 2X Anam. Bundle (28mm, 45mm, 85mm) - Arri PL+EF

.

The Laowa Proteus Flex 2X Anam. Bundle (28mm, 45mm, 85mm) - Arri PL+EF is a bundle consisting of three lenses from the Laowa Proteus series, the latest and most accessible professional anamorphic series for Super 35 sensors with a constant squeeze ratio of 2x.

The Bundle includes Lenses in 3 focal lengths: 28mm, 45mm and 85mm. The lenses feature a universal T2 Aperture, ensuring excellent image quality and consistent classic anamorphic features, including elliptical bokeh and signature flares with blue, amber and silver options.

Laowa Proteus 2X Anamorphic Series has adopted a front anamorphic design for robust optical composition. It can deliver image sharpness of modern quality while retaining the vintage look of anamorphic features, including elliptical bokeh and distinctive flares.
Delicately designed with a constant 2X squeeze ratio to exemplify the classic widescreen anamorphic look for cinema use. It works comfortably with 4:3 or 6:5 sensors that are usually standard in professional cinema cameras to deliver a 2.66:1 or 2.4:1 image after de-squeeze. Cinematographers and filmmakers can fully use or crop the images to a 2.39:1 with minimal loss of resolution. With precision in optical design, the 2X squeeze ratio can be achieved at any focus distance, preserving the relative shape of the object and avoiding anamorphic mumps.
The Aperture ranges from T2 to T22 for the entire series, supporting filming in all lighting conditions and meeting dynamic needs on set. A mesmerising shallow depth of field can be createdëered at large apertures, and the Lenses can reproduce organic waterfall focus roll-off in the background, one of the distinctive anamorphic features that the film industry so desperately wants.

The optical performance is finely tuned to deliver excellent colour rendering and contrast. The Proteus series can reproduce high image quality and sharpness even when shooting at wide-open Aperture, chromatic aberration is also well controlled.

Compared to 1.5X or 1.8X Anamorphic Lenses, the Proteus series can create elliptical bokeh in the blurred areas that are thinner and longer, giving shots a more prominent anamorphic look.

Amber, silver & blue flare options
Comes with classic sci-fi blue, warm and elegant amber and neutral silver flare colour options, cinematographers can choose the right flare colour to set the tone for the film. The silver flare changes colour depending on the light source.

The Proteus Lenses have a subtle change in the angle of view when the focus distance is changed. It supports filmmakers to portray a scène by shifting focus between subjects. With Super 35+ sensor coverage and can cover up to 21.6 mm sensor height, the entire series is compatible with some full-frame cameras and most Super 35 cameras, including the latest Arri Alexa 35.
