The Laowa Proteus 2x Anamorphic 28mm T2 Lens is a compact and slender anamorphic lens that is designed to capture high-definition video with a 2x anamorphic squeeze. It is compatible with cameras that have S35+ sensors like the ALEXA 35 and RED V-RAPTOR. With a focal length of 100mm, this lens offers interchangeable PL and EF lens mounts, allowing for versatility in mounting options. Its aperture range from T2 to T22 provides a deep depth of field, while the 10 iris blades create a shallow depth of field and soft bokeh effect. The 2x anamorphic squeeze adds a vintage, cinema-style anamorphic look to your footage. Additionally, by using an optional 1.4x full-frame expander adapter, the Proteus lenses can cover a full-frame sensor.
This 28mm prime lens boasts a minimum focus distance of 18.9 inches and possesses anamorphic characteristics like high contrast, amber lens flares, and an expansive 85.6° horizontal field of view. It also offers measurement markings in feet, 0.8 MOD cine gears on the focus and aperture rings for precise control, a 114mm front diameter, and a 105mm filter thread. The lens comes with both PL and EF mounts, a hard case for protection and transport, a support foot, and a tool kit for convenience.
