Laowa Proteus Zoom 2-Lens Bundle 26-45m, 45-85mm T2.9 2X Anamorphic S35 (Blue) PL + EF

Laowa Proteus Zoom 2-Lens Bundle merges the 26–45 mm and 45–85 mm T2.9 optics into a unified toolkit for Super 35+ capture. Each zoom offers a constant 2× anamorphic squeeze, translating 2.39 : 1 frames into a 4.78 : 1 negative while maintaining T2.9 across the whole 3× range. The result is a smooth move from 26 mm shots to 85 mm portrait compression without ramping or cropping.

Built on a 20-element/14-group optical path, the bundle renders crisp detail, oval highlights and the sought-after blue horizontal flare signature. A 31.9 mm image circle fully covers ARRI ALEXA 35 Open Gate or RED V-RAPTOR 7 K 6 : 5, and the parfocal layout holds focus through the zoom, with breathing kept under 1 %. Eleven-blade irises keep bokeh round from T2.9 to T22, while advanced glass controls chromatic shift and veiling glare.

Both lenses share an 80 mm front diameter with 77 mm filter thread, lengths of 18.95 cm and 19.3 cm, and weights of 1.53 kg and 1.49 kg, simplifying gimbal or drone work. Focus throw reaches 270°, zoom 100°, and iris 42°, with industry 0.8 MOD gears aligned across barrels. Close focus registers at 0.50 m on the 26–45 mm and 0.90 m on the 45–85 mm, enabling intimate subjects in panoramic frames.

Native PL mount grips cinema rigs, while an included EF mount swaps in minutes without shims; optional RF, L and E kits widen camera compatibility. A sealed linear-bearing cam sustains calibration in dusty or humid locations, and the hard case protects both lenses, spare mounts and shims in transit. Pair the set with the Laowa 1.4 × Expander to fill a 44 mm full-frame circle with < 0.5 stop light loss. Professionals needing a rental-ready T2.9 anamorphic zoom will find it here—more range than prime sets on every set!!
