Laowa Proteus 2X Anamorphic 20mm T2 - Blue (Meters) (VE2020PLEFBM)
Laowa Proteus 2X Anamorphic 20mm T2 - Blue (Meters) (VE2020PLEFBM) | Create widescreen anamorphic images
For widescreen images with the distinctive horizontal compression of anamorphic capture, the Laowa Proteus 2X Anamorphic 20mm T2 - Blue (Meters) (VE2020PLEFBM) gives you a 20mm focal length and a T2 maximum aperture to work with. It’s aimed at filmmakers who want an anamorphic perspective and are comfortable planning for a 2X squeeze in their framing and post-production. The 20mm focal length is suited to scenes where you want more of the setting in frame, while T2 gives you room to work with a relatively wide aperture when light is limited. This is a specialist lens rather than a general-purpose filter or accessory, so it makes most sense for a production built around an anamorphic workflow. The title identifies this as the Blue version and the meters version; those details help distinguish it when choosing or organising equipment for a shoot.
Working with the 2X anamorphic look
A 2X anamorphic lens compresses the horizontal view during capture; footage is then de-squeezed in post to restore the intended proportions. That workflow is central to the look, so framing on set takes some adjustment compared with a spherical lens. The 20mm focal length gives you a wide-angle starting point for scenes that need to include their surroundings, and the T2 maximum aperture can help when you need to keep shooting as available light falls. The meters designation is relevant for crews who work with focus distances expressed in metres. This lens is best considered as part of a deliberate anamorphic setup, with monitoring and post-production prepared for the squeeze ratio.
Specialist Note
Keeping a wide scene in frame without giving up an anamorphic workflow is the problem this 20mm version addresses. Its 2X squeeze means you’ll need to compose with the de-squeezed result in mind, so I’d plan monitoring and post-production around that from the start. For a location-wide establishing shot, use the 20mm focal length to include more of the setting; if the light drops, T2 gives you a wider aperture to work with. The meters version makes sense for a crew setting focus by metric distances. It suits filmmakers who want to work deliberately with anamorphic capture; the extra de-squeeze step is part of the process, not something to overlook.
