LAOWA Proteus 2X Anamorphic Features
Like the already available 35mm, 45mm, 60mm, and 85mm, the new 28mm and 100mm also feature a large aperture T2 and a constant squeeze ratio of 2X. All six lenses in the lineup also have the focus and aperture rings in the same position, allowing for efficient lens changes when using follow focuses.
The new wide-angle 28mm lens minimizes distortion and faithfully reproduces the subject’s proportions.
The six focal length lenses in the Proteus series offer consistent sharpness and clear image quality across the entire series.
Other common features of the Proteus series include:
- Achieves comfortable image quality and suppression of chromatic aberration even at maximum aperture.
- With high sharpness and contrast, the Proteus Series produces organic focus roll-off for that desirable anamorphic look, while also producing beautiful bokeh all the way to the edges of the image.
- It suppresses focus breathing, allowing you to shoot without worrying about changes in the angle of view when changing the focus position.
- Customers can choose from Amber, Blue and Silver Flare colour options.
- It uses a filter thread with an outer diameter of φ114mm/φ105mm, allowing the attachment of commercially available matte boxes and filters.
