Laowa Proteus Flex 2X Anamorphic 20mm T2 - ARRI Pl+ef (VE2020PLEFM-F)
Laowa Proteus Flex 2X Anamorphic 20mm T2 - ARRI Pl+ef (VE2020PLEFM-F) | Anamorphic framing for cinematic storytelling
Without an anamorphic lens, you’d usually create a wider cinematic frame by cropping a conventional image. The Laowa Proteus Flex 2X Anamorphic 20mm T2 offers another approach: it captures an anamorphic image with a 2X squeeze, giving cinematographers a distinct widescreen look to work with in post-production. It’s aimed at filmmakers who want that character in a production built around deliberate framing and controlled focus, rather than a standard spherical image. The 20mm focal length gives you a broad starting point for scenes where the setting matters as much as the subject, while the T2 aperture gives you room to work in lower light and shape focus. This lens is best suited to planned narrative, commercial or music-video work where the anamorphic presentation is part of the visual language. It’s a specialist tool, so it makes most sense when the whole shoot is built around that look.
Working with the anamorphic image
A 2X anamorphic image needs to be viewed or processed with the squeeze taken into account to appear in its intended proportions. That makes monitoring and post-production part of the workflow, rather than an afterthought. The lens’s ARRI PL + EF designation is also worth considering as you plan a production: the mount you need depends on the camera setup you’re using.
Specialist Note
“Can I get a broad view without giving up the anamorphic look?” Yes—the 20mm focal length gives you room to include more of a location, which is useful for an establishing shot or a close scene where the surroundings should still read. At T2, you have a relatively bright aperture to work with when light is limited; I’d still plan your exposure and focus carefully, especially in a moving scene. This suits filmmakers who want to build a production around the 2X anamorphic presentation, not someone who simply needs an everyday lens. Keep the squeeze in mind when judging framing on set.
