The Laowa Proteus Zoom 2X Anamorphic is an interchangeable cinema lens for filmmakers who want anamorphic imagery with zoom flexibility. Its 2X squeeze gives you a distinctive wide-screen look when the footage is desqueezed, so it’s worth planning for that in your monitoring or post workflow. Manual focus makes it suited to crews who prefer to control focus deliberately. This version is listed with a Canon EF mount, and its silver finish gives it a distinctive appearance on a rig. It’s best suited to video and filmmaking projects where you can take time to shape the frame and focus, rather than relying on autofocus or a run-and-gun approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specialist-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fixed camera setup can leave you short of framing options; this zoom lets you adjust shot size without changing lenses. For dialogue, I’d start at 45mm for a wider two-person frame and move toward 85mm for a closer single, refocusing manually as needed. The T2.9 maximum aperture is helpful when you can’t add more light, though careful focus still matters when working wide open. On a Canon APS-C (EF-S) body, that focal range gives framing similar to 72-136mm on full frame, so expect a tighter view. It suits filmmakers who want anamorphic character and controlled coverage in one lens. Just plan for the 2X desqueeze in your monitoring or post workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct type: Interchangeable lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal length: 45-85mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum aperture: T2.9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens type: Anamorphic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount: Canon EF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocus: Manual Focus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for: Video, Filmmaking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Laowa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57563829272916,"sku":"29LAOCINZ4585S","price":7360.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/2493\/3716\/files\/29LAOCINZ4585S_01.jpg?v=1791805201","url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/de\/products\/laowa-proteus-zoom-2x-anamorphic-45-85mm-t2-9-silver-pl-ef","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
