Laowa Proteus 2-Lens Bundle 35mm, 60mm T2 2X Anamorphic S35 (Silver) PL + EF

Laowa Proteus 2X Anamorphic Set couples 35 mm T2 and 60 mm T2 primes into one matched toolkit for Super 35 capture. A constant 2× squeeze outputs native 2.66:1 on 4:3 sensors, delivering elongated oval bokeh and panoramic fields (73° and 46.7° horizontally after de-squeeze). Neutral silver flare coating lets gaffers paint the frame with any hue instead of imposing blue or amber streaks. Both optics project a 25.9 mm image circle, cover ALEXA 35 4.6 K or RED V-RAPTOR 7 K 6:5, and accept an optional 1.4× expander for full-frame coverage.

The 35 mm lens focuses from 0.55 m to infinity while holding the 2× ratio—no anamorphic “mumps”. Its 17-element/14-group formula sustains centre-to-edge MTF at T2; the ten-blade iris rolls off highlights smoothly and accepts 105 mm screw-on diopters inside a 114 mm front housing. Barrel length is 182 mm, weight 2.4 kg, so the lens balances on steadicams or gimbals.

The 60 mm tele keeps identical gear positions, outer diameter and 0.8 MOD rings so assistants swap in seconds. Close focus is 0.70 m, angle of view 46.7° (H). Optical path (17 elements in 13 groups) suppresses breathing; focus racking hardly shifts the frame. Length 198 mm, mass 2.3 kg, making the set easy to rig on drones, sliders or 19 mm studio rods.

Both lenses ship in PL with an included EF bayonet. Front diameter 114 mm matches clip-on matte boxes, while a 105 mm filter thread supports variable NDs. Iris moves from T2 to T22; 270° focus travel aids fine pulls. Back-focus shims are accessible, and dual metric/imperial scales keep crews bilingual. Unified mechanics streamline swapping and minimise rig-rebuild time, driving efficiency on drama, commercial and live-stream sets while delivering a consistent cinematic signature across productions.
