Venus Optics Laowa Proteus Flex 2x Anamorphic 20mm T2 Lens (ARRI PL/Canon EF, 4 Flare Colors)

The Laowa Proteus Flex 2x Anamorphic 20mm T2 Lens from Venus Optics is a slender, compact anamorphic lens that captures high-definition video with 2x anamorphic squeeze on cameras with S35+ sensors such as the ALEXA 35 and RED V-RAPTOR. The innovative Proteus Flex series includes four user-interchangeable flare modules, letting you create different looks with a single lens.

This 20mm features interchangeable PL and EF lens mounts, an aperture range of T2 to T22 for a deep depth of field, 10 iris blades for a shallow depth of field, and soft bokeh. Using an optional 1.4x full-frame expander adapter, Proteus lenses can also cover a full-frame sensor.

• Each Proteus Flex lens comprises a main lens body and interchangeable amber, blue, silver, and clear flare modules.
• The new clear option produces a cleaner, more elegant look with minimal flare, even when the lens is pointed at a strong light source.
• The amber flare adds a warm accent suitable for narrative use.
• The blue flare creates a cool look that is ideal for sci-fi applications.
• The silver flare offers a more neutral option that changes color with your light source.

With a 2x squeeze ratio, you will have a 2.66:1 on a 4:3 sensor and a 2.4:1 on a 6:5 sensor after de-squeeze. It provides room for cropping to a golden 2.39:1 aspect ratio. The 2x squeeze ratio yields an ultra-widescreen cinematic look desired by the film industry. The squeeze ratio remains constant at any focusing distance to avoid anamorphic mumps.

Featuring a T2 aperture, the fast aperture supports filmmakers shooting in low-light conditions. It also creates a shallow depth of field with a waterfall-like focus roll-off.

Impressive sharpness and contrast at wide-open, Laowa Proteus Flex Series satisfies demanding film production requirements.

Having S35+ sensor coverage, Laowa Proteus Flex supports the ARRI ALEXA 35 sensor in a 2.39:1 ratio and the RED V-RAPTOR sensor in 7K 6:5 ANA. With an optional 1.4x full-frame adapter, Proteus can cover full-frame sensors with sharpness and image quality.

The lens can focus at a minimum distance of 19" away from the object, creating sharp close-up cinematic scenes with ease.

Elliptical bokeh is produced in the out-of-focus area, which is a signature anamorphic character for the strong cinematic look. The bokeh in the 2x squeeze ratio is prominently thinner and longer.

Both changes in the angle of view and framing are kept to a minimum when adjusting the focus.

The unified gear positions allow users to switch lenses quickly and without readjustment of the focus gear.

Industry-standard 0.8 MOD gears are installed on both the aperture and focus rings.

The lens allows users to adjust the back focus easily.
