Laowa has created this series of cine lenses, Proteus 2X anamorphic, with various focal lengths. In this case it is a 45mm T2 with PL and EF mount, so it can be used with a multitude of cameras and each lens includes shims and front and rear caps. Laowa has manufactured these lenses for Super35+ sensor.
This lens is also possible to purchase an adapter (not included) to be able to use this lens on full frame bodies. This way the range of cameras with which it can be used is very wide. The T2 aperture makes it possible to work in low light conditions and provides a shallow depth of field so that beautiful blurs can be created.
The 2X compression ratio provides a cinematic ultra-wide-screen look that is highly desired by the film industry. The compression ratio remains constant at any focus distance to avoid anamorphic bulges.

Laowa Proteus 2X Anamorphic 35mm T2 is a series of anamorphic lenses with a constant compression ratio of 2X, made for Arri PL and Canon EF mounts. With these mounts, it has a wide range of camera bodies available for use.
As it has Super 35+ sensor coverage and c an cover a sensor height of up to 21.6mm, the entire series is compatible with some full frame cameras and most Super 35 cameras, including the latest Arri Alexa 35. All lenses in this series can be quickly interchanged as they have the same distances between the focus and iris rings. It also has a backfocus adjustment that can be changed with the lens mounted on the camera.
This lens features a patented anamorphic design, the Laowa Proteus is composed of anamorphic and spherical blocks, thus offering modern image sharpness and vintage anamorphic characteristics, including elliptical bokeh and characteristic flare at the same time. The bokeh is achieved thanks to the large T2 aperture, which also makes the lens suitable for use in low-light environments. A characteristic feature of anamorphic lenses is their horizontal flare, with this Laowa, the flare is achieved in blue, amber and silver which gives the output a special character.
This lens has an iris with a wide range of apertures, from T2 to T22, making this Proteus series usable on any shooting set in any light condition.
Both anamorphic and spherical blocks are fixed, and a front variable spherical glass is added for focusing. A similar optical design is used in Vantage Hawks, Cooke Anamorphic and Atlas Orion. This lens has a 2X compression ratio, so it will have a 2.66:1 on a 4:3 sensor and a 2.4:1 on a 6:5 sensor after compression. The 2X compression ratio provides an ultra-wide screen cinematic look that is highly desired by the motion picture industry. The compression ratio remains constant at any focus distance to avoid anamorphic bulges.
The Laowa Proteus 2X Anamorphic 45mm T2 lens has exceptional sharpness and impressive contrast at wide aperture, the Laowa Proteus series is capable of adapting to the most demanding shoots. On the other hand, if we talk about the focusing distance, it should be noted that the minimum focusing distance is 55cm from the subject, so it creates cinematic close-up scenes with amazing sharpness.
The rotation of the focus ring is 300º which provides a finer and more precise change of the focal length. Also important is the filter diameter, which is shared across the Proteus range and is 105mm.
