Laowa Proteus Flex 2X Anamorphic Lens 60mm T2 PL/EF

Laowa introduces the Proteus Flex 2X Anamorphic, the unique anamorphic set with a user-interchangeable flare feature. The series becomes highly flexible and economical, providing 4 different flare options to fit any production through the modular design.

• Patented anamorphic design
• Constant 2x compression factor
• Large T2 aperture
• Short minimum focusing distance
• Artistic oval bokeh
• Low focus breathing
• Excellent sharpness
• Full frame coverage with 1.4x extender
• Professional cine housing

Each Proteus Flex comes in a main Proteus body and 4 interchangeable flare modules, including amber, silver, blue and the brand new clear flare versions. Whether for a sci-fi film, a mellow music video or a commercial, filmmakers and rental houses can swap the flare modules locally to match production needs following simple steps.

The flare modules can be easily installed, swapped and screw-locked into the precision crafted main Proteus body. As the flare modules are carefully adjusted to match the specific lens body, no further optical calibration is required after the swap. The swap can be done in 10 minutes without the need to ship back and forth to service facilities.

With the flexibility and versatility to change the flare color, the new Proteus Flex effectively turns a set of Proteus anamorphic lenses into 4 different sets. Filmmakers can swap between blue, amber, silver and clear flare options to bring the desired aesthetic touch to the scenes.

Apart from the colored flare versions, the Proteus Flex includes a brand-new flare coating – Clear Flare. It produces minimal horizontal flare even when shooting towards strong lights. This unique character is for DP who wants a cleaner and more elegant look.

The minimum focusing distance of this Proteus lens is just 70 cm. Thanks to the double compression factor, the bokeh is significantly thinner and longer - a typical feature of anamorphic lenses.
